Coinbase Brings IPOs to Retail Traders with New Feature

Coinbase is expanding its services to include initial public offerings (IPOs) for retail traders in the US. This new feature, launched September 21, 2026, allows customers to request allocations directly within the Coinbase app.

The IPOs are offered via Coinbase Capital Markets and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The allocation algorithm prioritizes investors who believe in what they're purchasing for the long haul.

Coinbase's goal is to provide access to primary financial markets for retail traders and grow its platform as a trusted exchange for trading various assets at any stage of their lifecycle.
