Coinbase Seeks SEC Approval for Leveraged Stock Bets

Coinbase Global Inc. is taking a significant step towards bringing leveraged trading onshore by seeking regulatory approval from the SEC.

The move aims to allow US investors to make round-the-clock bets on stocks without owning them, mirroring the popular form of trading found in crypto venues like Hyperliquid.

This push is part of a broader effort to expand traditional markets and bring the crypto trading playbook onshore as digital-asset venues continue to grow beyond their core offerings.
