Coinbase is launching stock trading and prediction markets as the crypto exchange looks beyond digital assets to pursue its ambition of creating an “app for everything.”
Coinbase head of commercial and consumer products Max Branzburg announced at the company’s year-end conference that “stock trading is now available on Coinbase.”
“This is a major milestone in our plan to enable 24/7 trading of stocks and ETFs from anywhere in the world, powered by cryptocurrencies,” he said.

Branzburg also said that Coinbase has launched prediction markets in partnership with Kalshi, which will begin its launch today and then arrive in the US.
Last month, technology researcher Jane Manchun Wong discovered that Coinbase was developing a market prediction platform, indicating it would be backed by Kalshi.

Coinbase will also offer 24/7 perpetuals early next year, allowing users to bet on cryptocurrencies and stocks going up or down with up to 50x leverage.
Branzburg said the new product line is part of Coinbase’s “everything exchange.” The company began laying the groundwork for a broader set of offerings in July, rebranding its wallet app as an “everything app” that added apps, social media and chat features.
