Coinbase 🛡️ (@coinbase): AiFi: Start Trading With Your First Five Prompts

AiFi: Start Trading With Your First Five Prompts Your own trading desk, in the chat you already use. You have a hunch about the market. Turning it into a trade usually means a pile of tabs: charts, news, your portfolio, an order ticket, maybe a spreadsheet to size the position. Coinbase for Agents puts that work in one conversation. Connect your Coinbase account to your AI, and it can see your crypto, stock, and derivative holdings, dig into research, compare spot and futures, and structure an order you approve. These five prompts take you from a hunch to a structured trade. Connect the AI you already use Coinbase MCP connects any of your favorite AI apps to your Coinbase account. Pick yours in the setup guide or watch the walkthrough: Grok: Setup video Grok Bot: Setup video ChatGPT: Setup video (enable developer mode first) Claude: Setup video Claude Code: Setup video Perplexity Computer: Setup video Muse: Share the agent setup guide and follow the sign-in prompt Or just paste this into your favorite agent: "Connect to coinbase.com/skill.md" and then follow the steps. Stay in control Choose what your agent can reach. You pick which portfolios it can access when you connect. Or use a separate portfolio to limit the funds it can touch. To trade US futures or stocks, your agent needs access to your default portfolio, which means it can also reach the funds held there. Check your agent’s approval settings. Each AI tool handles trade approvals differently, and some may place trades without explicitly asking for your confirmation in the chat. Telling your agent to ask first doesn't replace trade approval settings. Set a budget before buying research. Your agent can pay for data using USDC from your Coinbase account. These are real payments, and once a payment goes through, it can't be reversed. Disconnect anytime. See here for more information on how to disconnect your tool. Disconnecting stops future access but does not cancel orders already placed. How to use these prompts: Run them in order, in the same chat, so your agent carries context forward. We use ETH as the example. Swap in whatever you actually trade. Know where you stand Before forming a view, see what you're working with. What you get back: your whole portfolio in one view, what's been driving it, and the news that matters to you, with sources you can check. Form a view Something in that briefing caught your attention. You can pull the thread. Go deeper: let your agent buy the research Sometimes free sources run out. Coinbase for Agents can pay for research from providers like Nansen, Arkham and Glassnode using small payments from your USDC balance. Your agent finds the source, shows you the price, and waits for your approval. What you get back: a sharper answer from data you'd normally need a subscription for, plus exactly what it cost. Choose how to act on it You have a view. There's more than one way to express it. What you get back: a side-by-side comparison built around your view and your account. The decision stays yours. Go deeper: stress-test it What you get back: the downside, in numbers, before you've risked anything. Structure the trade Now turn the idea into an order. Start simple, or build the version a professional trader would. Simple: a clean entry Go deeper: size it to your risk, with exits built in What you get back: a position sized to the risk you chose, with your exit plan set before you enter. Prices and fees can move between the preview and execution. Read the preview against what you intended before moving on. Make the move If the preview matches what you want, give the approval. Come back to the same chat anytime: Your first trade is a starting point. But you can make it a routine. Give your agent a recurring brief to revisit your thinking, check what’s changed, and bring the next decision back to you. Your desk is open You started with a hunch. You checked it against your portfolio, researched it, compared how to act on it, sized it to your risk, and placed a structured trade, all in one conversation.
