Coinbase Begins U.S. Stock Trading, Adds Kalshi Markets and Solana DEX in Push to Be an ‘Everything Exchange’

The company aims to lock in users by merging traditional markets with on‑chain rails in one account.

Overview

  • Stock trading is rolling out to U.S. users with hundreds of major equities at launch, zero commissions, 24‑hours‑a‑day five‑days‑a‑week access, and funding in USD or USDC from a single Coinbase account.
  • Coinbase integrated Kalshi-sourced prediction markets so users can trade contracts on outcomes such as elections, economic indicators, and sports, with support for additional venues planned.
  • The app now connects to Solana liquidity via Jupiter, enabling in‑app swaps of Solana tokens without leaving Coinbase, with the feature expanding over the coming weeks.
  • Coinbase announced an institutional tokenization stack called Coinbase Tokenize to bring real‑world assets on‑chain, with tokenized equities described as a goal and technical and regulatory details still in progress.
  • The company plans to offer stock‑linked perpetual futures to customers outside the U.S. early next year, alongside new services such as Coinbase Business and the AI‑powered Coinbase Advisor.
