State of Agentic Trading, Q3 2026
24 products now let an AI agent place a real order on a real venue, up from one in July 2025. 15 of them document nothing that limits what a bad instruction can do, so the practical limit is how much money sits in the account. 9 document something. One makes a confirmation step the software itself enforces.

What stops a bad order
The question every product in this category answers differently, and the one most of them do not answer at all. A limit written into a prompt is a request the model can be argued out of. A limit enforced on the account is a rule. These are the shapes that exist, counted from what each vendor documents rather than from what it claims.
- 15
Nothing documented. The limit is how much money is in the account
Alpaca MCP Server, Binance Agent OS, Coinbase for Agents, Composer MCP, Interactive Brokers AI Integration, Kraken CLI, MetaMask Agent Wallet, Open-source Hyperliquid servers, Phantom MCP, Robinhood Agentic Trading, Scalable Capital Agentic Investing, TradeStation MCP, Trading 212, cTrader AI Agent Connect, eToro Agent Portfolios
- 5
A flag, scope or key that decides whether trading is reachable at all
Bitpanda Fusion MCP, Bybit MCP Server, Gate MCP, OKX Agent Trade Kit, Walnut
- 2
A ceiling on the size of any single order
Fensory, Webull
- 1
A halt once losses reach a threshold, rather than a limit per order
Senpi
- 1
The software refuses to submit without its own confirmation token
tastytrade MCP
A capability gate is not a cap. It decides whether trading is reachable at all and says nothing about how much can go through once it is. Counting the two together would make this field look far safer than it is.

Every dated launch
Oldest first. A date marked “repository created” is when the public repository first existed, which is the earliest defensible public date and usually sits a little before the announcement.

Who can actually use these
Availability as each product’s own page states it, which is not the same as where its parent company operates. 2 of the 24 are documented as reaching users outside the United States, and the gap between the two numbers is the least reported thing in this category.
| Product | Availability, as stated |
|---|---|
| Alpaca MCP Server | Not documented for the MCP server |
| Binance Agent OS | Not documented for the product, and subject to regional availability. Binance does not serve US customers |
| Bitpanda Fusion MCP | European, and the only entry here regulated as such. MiCAR-licensed with 10 or more EU licences, operated by Bitpanda GmbH in Austria, with German clients served by Bitpanda Asset Management GmbH. US availability is not addressed |
| Bybit MCP Server | Not documented in the repository |
| Coinbase for Agents | Not documented for the agent product |
| Composer MCP | US |
| cTrader AI Agent Connect | Depends entirely on your broker, and cTrader brokers are widely available in Europe |
| eToro Agent Portfolios | Not documented for the agent product. eToro says only that availability varies by jurisdiction and that rollout is gradual |
| Fensory | Not available to US persons |
| Gate MCP | Not documented on the repository |
| Interactive Brokers AI Integration | UK, Europe, US, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. Not available in India or Japan |
| Kraken CLI | Not stated in the MCP documentation |
| MetaMask Agent Wallet | Not stated |
| OKX Agent Trade Kit | Not documented in the repository |
| Open-source Hyperliquid servers | Self-hosted, so whatever Hyperliquid allows |
| Phantom MCP | Not documented |
| Robinhood Agentic Trading | United States only. Crypto is unavailable in some states, including New York |
| Scalable Capital Agentic Investing | Not documented for the agent product. Scalable operates in Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, France and the Netherlands, and has no UK entity |
| Senpi | No US-person exclusion published. The terms bar sanctioned jurisdictions and give California residents CCPA rights, which reads as US availability |
| tastytrade MCP | United States. A US brokerage account is required |
| TradeStation MCP | Not documented |
| Trading 212 | Not applicable. There is no official agent product |
| Walnut | US brokerage accounts |
| Webull | US at launch. The self-hosted server documents nine regions including the UK, Japan and Singapore |
What this dataset does not have
Named rather than omitted. A dataset that hides its gaps is not a dataset, and two of these are the questions a reader most wants answered.
Fensory ledger statistics: tool calls, agents connected, asset mix, client mix, repeat rate
Not yet confirmed internally. A company publishing research about its own category does not get to quote unverified figures about itself.
Total on-chain value of tokenized equities
No source we control, and repeating another aggregate without reading its methodology is how a figure like this goes wrong.
Adoption: how many people actually use any of this
Nobody publishes it, ourselves included. Counting products is not counting users, and this page does not pretend otherwise.
Questions people ask
- What counts as an agentic trading product here?
- One where an AI assistant can cause a real order to be placed on a real venue. A product that only reads prices or drafts an order for a human to submit is not counted, and where a product does both we count the execution path. Market-data servers are excluded entirely.
- Where do these figures come from?
- Each product was read on its own documentation, its own repository, or its own terms, never on a directory listing or another comparison. Repository figures come from the GitHub API. Every product links to the source its claims were read on.
- Is this complete?
- No, and the page says which parts are missing rather than implying coverage. A re-sweep in September added four official exchange servers an earlier pass had missed, several more are named as reported but unverified, and nothing here counts users rather than products.
- Fensory publishes this and sells a trading account. Why trust it?
- Because the figures are checkable and the page does not flatter us. Fensory is one of two products documenting a cap on a single order, which is a narrower protection than a loss limit, and our confirmation step is not enforced by our software the way one competitor’s is. Both facts are in the counts below.
