Coinbase Expands into Traditional Finance with Stock Trading Launch

Coinbase has expanded its services to include stock and exchange-traded fund trading for all U.S. users, marking a significant move beyond cryptocurrency.

The platform now allows customers to buy and sell equities alongside crypto within a single app on a 24-hour, five-day-a-week basis.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong described the rollout as 'the everything exchange is growing.'

The service includes commission-free trading, fractional shares, and instant funding through USD or USDC, with approximately 6,000 securities currently supported.
