Coinbase Adds Stocks and Prediction Markets in Bid to Be ‘Everything Exchange’

Coinbase is rolling out stock trading, prediction markets and other features in a major expansion of its platform.

Users will soon be able to trade hundreds of U.S. stocks and ETFs with zero commissions, 24 hours a day, five days a week. Thousands more will be added in the coming months.

The exchange is also adding prediction markets through Kalshi, allowing users to bet on real-world outcomes like elections and economic data. These contracts will be priced based on market demand, not set odds.

The updates are part of Coinbase’s push to become an all-in-one platform for financial services. The company is also expanding access to perpetual futures, Solana DEX trading via Jupiter, and launching tools for small businesses and an AI-based financial advisor called Coinbase Advisor.

The new features are built on Coinbase Tokenize, its platform for bringing real-world assets like stocks onto the blockchain.

SEC Issues Guidance on How Broker-Dealers Can Safely Custody Crypto Asset Securities

The SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets released guidance on how broker-dealers can custody crypto asset securities under Rule 15c3-3.

The update allows firms to treat these assets as being in their possession if they meet several conditions, including direct blockchain access, transfer capability, and documented reviews of the technology’s reliability.

Broker-dealers must also secure private keys, have plans for disruptions like hard forks or attacks, and avoid custodying assets tied to risky or unstable networks.

The guidance is nonbinding but aims to clarify existing law as the SEC continues to shape its crypto policy.

DTCC Selects Canton Network to Tokenize U.S. Treasuries, Expanding Blockchain Push

Wall Street clearinghouse DTCC will use the Canton Network to tokenize a subset of U.S. Treasury securities in 2026.

The move follows SEC approval via a No-Action Letter and marks a step toward integrating blockchain into traditional financial infrastructure.

Developed by Digital Asset, Canton is designed to let institutions issue and trade tokenized assets while preserving privacy and compliance. A limited rollout is planned for early 2026.

DTCC will also help govern the network, joining the Canton Foundation as co-chair alongside Euroclear.
