Coinbase Bolsters Trading Platform with Tokenized Stocks, Derivatives, and AI

Coinbase is rapidly expanding its product offerings as part of its 'everything exchange' strategy. The company will introduce tokenized stocks next month for customers outside the US, backed one-to-one by underlying equities and offering dividend payouts and shareholder rights.

Users can transfer stock portfolios from other platforms into Coinbase and trade major US stocks, indexes, and ETFs through Coinbase Advanced with zero commission fees. TradingView charting and fractional shares are also available, along with rewards on trade-ready USDC balances.

Coinbase is also adding more derivatives products, including real-world asset perpetual futures tied to thematic equity baskets such as AI, China, Defense, and the Tech 100. Prediction markets will be introduced in the form of crypto binaries for short-term up or down outcomes on assets like BTC, ETH, and SOL.

The company is also incorporating artificial intelligence into its platform through Coinbase Advisor, an SEC-registered investment advisor that helps with tax loss harvesting, market analysis, and multi-asset trade recommendations. Users can give AI agents permission to execute trading strategies within defined limits, restricting them to isolated sub-accounts and setting capital allocation, eligible assets, and trade sizes.

The expansion extends beyond trading, with a travel portal offering 5% Bitcoin back on bookings and USDC-backed access to the Coinbase One Card. Borrowing against staked Solana is also available through JitoSOL and Morpho on Base.
