TL;DR
- Coinbase signed a deal with Perplexity AI to integrate real-time crypto data into the AI-powered search engine developed by the startup.
- The first phase will incorporate market data and the COIN50 index into Perplexity, allowing users to check up-to-date prices and metrics from a single interface.

Coinbase announced a strategic partnership with Perplexity AI to integrate real-time crypto market data into the search engine developed by the artificial intelligence startup.
This agreement will combine reliable financial data with conversational search capabilities and automated analysis tools.
The initiative will roll out in phases. In the first stage, Coinbase will provide its market data — including the COIN50 index — which will be integrated into Perplexity to power real-time reports and analysis. Users will be able to track price movements and access additional information to support better decision-making when trading digital assets and cryptocurrencies.
The next stage will incorporate that data directly into the answers Perplexity delivers through its search engine and conversational assistants. This will give users instant access to updated price quotes, market metrics, and relevant data with a simple query, without the need to navigate through multiple platforms or interfaces.
Coinbase Aims to Become a Financial Data Services Leader
According to Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, integrating crypto functions into AI systems not only streamlines processes but also opens up a wide range of new possibilities for automating financial operations and services.
The partnership follows the growing trend of collaborations between blockchain projects and AI companies, like the deal Polymarket closed a few weeks ago with Elon Musk’s xAI. Since the release of models like ChatGPT, developers have sought to incorporate decentralized solutions into AI systems to improve security, transparency, and process automation.
The announcement came as Bitcoin crossed the $112,000 mark, setting new highs. This surge played a key role in driving interest in real-time information and analysis tools. Searches related to cryptocurrencies have risen steadily compared to last year, showing increased demand for fast, reliable query services.
Through this agreement, Coinbase aims to establish itself as a leading provider of financial data services for AI environments
