Crypto.com today rolled out Crypto Market Data by Crypto.com, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation that lets large language models (LLMs) tap live crypto and financial market data directly from the exchange. The service delivers real-time price quotes, order books, currency conversions, candlestick charts and other market signals straight into integrated LLMs such as Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, enabling users to fold up-to-the-minute crypto intelligence into conversational AI workflows.

The company described the launch as the first phase of the product, saying developers and AI users can already configure Crypto Market Data by Crypto.com with their assistants, while further expansions and broader LLM compatibility are planned. That initial availability makes it possible for traders, analysts and AI builders to combine natural-language reasoning with a continuous feed of exchange data without stitching together custom integrations.

“The integration of AI and crypto is just beginning and will truly reshape how we invest and engage in commerce,” said Eric Anziani, President and COO of Crypto.com. “We are excited to take this latest significant step in developing AI-powered cryptocurrency tools that are establishing the bridge to the new era of financial technology and empowerment. Crypto Market Data by Crypto.com is designed for the trader of today and tomorrow.”

Crypto.com framed the new MCP offering as the next evolution of its AI efforts, following the 2024 debut of the Crypto.com AI Agent SDK. That SDK, introduced in beta last year, was built to let developers link natural language inputs to blockchain functions across Crypto.com services and compatible chains, and the firm says the new market-data service complements those tooling initiatives.

Industry observers have been experimenting with MCP and similar tooling to let AI assistants securely query external datasets in real time, and Crypto.com’s move places exchange-grade market feeds squarely into that trend. By exposing exchange data through an MCP endpoint, Crypto.com aims to remove the custom engineering overhead for each model-to-data connection and let LLMs focus on analysis and decision support.

Founded in 2016 and used by millions worldwide, Crypto.com said the product reflects its broader vision, “Cryptocurrency in Every Wallet™,” and its stated emphasis on security, compliance and privacy as it expands into AI-driven services. Crypto Market Data by Crypto.com is available now and can be configured to work with a user’s preferred LLM or assistant.

As AI agents grow more capable, services that supply timely, trustworthy data will become central to how traders and everyday users rely on conversational assistants for market monitoring and trading insights. Crypto.com’s launch positions the exchange to be a direct data partner for those agents, though the company also said it will continue rolling out updates and broader integrations in the near future.
