Coinbase UK Expands Into Stock Trading With 4,000 US Equities

Coinbase UK has launched stock trading for its users, offering access to 4,000 US-listed stocks. This move marks the exchange's entry into traditional equity markets and is part of Coinbase's broader strategy to become a multi-asset trading platform.

The new service provides 24/5 access to major companies like Apple, Tesla, and Amazon, allowing users to trade stocks alongside cryptocurrencies in one place. The existing Coinbase app now integrates stock trading, giving users a unified platform for both asset classes.

Coinbase's expansion into traditional finance comes amid growing convergence between the crypto and traditional worlds. By offering stocks, the exchange aims to attract a wider audience, including those familiar with stock investing but new to crypto.
