Coinbase is aggressively expanding into an "everything exchange" by launching stock trading, prediction markets, Solana DEX integration, and custom stablecoins.

Summary

Coinbase has officially announced a major product expansion, aiming to become an "everything exchange" by integrating multiple asset classes onto its platform. Key additions include commission-free stock and ETF trading for U.S. users, with plans for tokenized equities in the future. The platform is also introducing prediction markets through a partnership with Kalshi and integrating Jupiter to enable direct, in-app decentralized trading for Solana-based tokens. Furthermore, Coinbase is launching Custom Stablecoins backed by USDC and other USD-stablecoins, entering the infrastructure competition, and expanding its developer platform with new APIs. Other rollouts include simplifying access to futures trading within the main app, launching an AI financial assistant (Coinbase Advisor), and making its onchain Base App available globally.
