In a significant move for the crypto and AI industries, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced a strategic partnership with AI-powered search platform Perplexity.
The collaboration aims to integrate Coinbase’s extensive market data into Perplexity’s ecosystem, starting with its new browser, Comet, to provide users with advanced cryptocurrency analytics.
According to Armstrong, Perplexity’s data reveals that users search for information on cryptocurrencies with the same frequency as they do for traditional stocks, underscoring the growing mainstream interest in digital assets. This insight highlights the potential for AI-driven tools to bridge the gap between crypto markets and everyday investors.
The partnership’s first phase will see Perplexity leveraging Coinbase’s real-time market data to power analytics within Comet, offering users deeper insights into crypto trends and performance. In the next stage, Perplexity will incorporate Coinbase data directly into its conversational AI responses. This will enable the platform to provide personalized trading ideas and track activity for specific tokens during user interactions. Armstrong emphasized that this feature will empower users to “make more informed crypto investment decisions” by combining AI-driven insights with reliable market data.
