VALR, a cryptocurrency exchange, has launched its AI Service with tools for human users and infrastructure that allows autonomous AI agents to interact with its digital asset platform. The service supports market analysis, account activity and performance insights, trading suggestions and AI-based assistance, with customised trading strategies and automated trading options planned for a later stage.
The company is also making its API infrastructure accessible to AI agents that follow the open Agent Skills Standard. This includes OpenClaw and coding-focused agents such as Claude Code, developed by Anthropic, an AI company, and Codex, developed by OpenAI, an artificial intelligence company. The available endpoints cover authentication, real-time market data, trade execution, account management and portfolio oversight within VALR's regulated environment.
The move reflects the emergence of AI agents as participants in financial activities. In crypto markets, agents can already be used for automated trading, while the underlying infrastructure provides programmable assets, instant settlement and API access. VALR's AI Service brings these capabilities together with tools for users and direct access for software agents.
Farzam Ehsani, Co-Founder and CEO of VALR, said: “AI agents herald a significant expansion of the global economy. What was once reserved for humans is now open to intelligent, autonomous systems capable of creating and exchanging value at scale. VALR is proud to be at the forefront of this shift, where crypto and AI intersect, offering regulated, high-performance infrastructure that serves every participant in the digital economy: individuals, corporations, and now AI agents. This is how we build the next generation of humanity’s financial system that unlocks new frontiers of prosperity.”
For developers integrating AI agents with VALR, the company has also made its VALR Agent Skills repository available as open source. The repository provides agents with the context and tools required to authenticate and interact with the platform in accordance with the Agent Skills Standard.
