What to know:
- Coinbase introduced stock and ETF trading for all U.S. users, allowing 24/5 equities trading alongside crypto on the platform.
- Expanding beyond crypto deepens competition with Robinhood and could help loosen the tie between Coinbase shares and the price of bitcoin.
- The expansion builds on Coinbase’s December “everything exchange” plan and follows the recent debut of its predictions market.
Coinbase (COIN) opened stock and exchange-traded fund (ETF) trading to all U.S. customers, expanding beyond digital assets as part of its plan to become an “everything exchange.”
The roll-out allows users to buy and sell U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs on the same platform they use for crypto. Trading runs 24 hours a day, five days a week, with no commission. Customers can fund trades with U.S. dollars or USDC and buy fractional shares starting at $1.

Coinbase outlined the expansion in December, when it said it intended to bring multiple asset classes under one roof. Earlier this month, it debuted a predictions market, enabling users to trade on the outcomes of real-world events. Stock trading marks another step in that strategy.
The move brings Coinbase into more direct competition with retail brokerages such as Robinhood (HOOD), which has been doubling down on its crypto product suite. It also reflects a push among crypto firms to blend the asset class with traditional financial products. Breaking away from a crypto-only business model could help Coinbase loosen the tie between its share price and bitcoin BTC$63,304.16 so it trades more like a diversified tech stock, offering some cushion during a crypto downturn.
Both COIN and HOOD have lost about 35% this year as digital assets struggle. EToro (ETOR) is 13% lower over the same period, with the company’s fourth-quarter earnings showing strong equities trading on the platform.
To support the introduction, Coinbase has an agreement with Yahoo Finance. The financial news site will feature a button that lets users move from researching a stock to executing a trade on the exchange. Yahoo Finance will also display real-time data from Coinbase within its interface.
Coinbase said it is working with Apex Fintech Solutions for clearing custody and execution.
The company plans to expand 24/5 trading to more stocks in the coming months. It has also signaled interest in offering tokenized stocks, which would allow equities to move on blockchain networks and potentially trade around the clock.

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates
The post Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday opted to ease interest rates for the first time in months, leading the way for potentially lower mortgage rates, bond yields and a likely boost to cryptocurrency over the coming weeks. Average long-term mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels in months ahead of the central bank’s policy shift. Copyright{2018} The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Key Facts The central bank’s policymaking panel voted this week to lower interest rates, which have sat between 4.25% and 4.5% since December, to a new range of 4% and 4.25%. How Will Lower Interest Rates Impact Mortgage Rates? Mortgage rates tend to fall before and during a period of interest rate cuts: The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 6.35% from 6.5% last week, the lowest level since October 2024, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported. Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages also dropped to 5.5% from 5.6% as they neared the year-ago rate of 5.27%. When the Federal Reserve lowered the funds rate to between 0% and 0.25% during the pandemic, 30-year mortgage rates hit record lows between 2.7% and 3% by the end of 2020, according to data published by Freddie Mac. Consumers who refinanced their mortgages in 2020 saved about $5.3 billion annually as rates dropped, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Similarly, mortgage rates spiked around 7% as interest rates were hiked in 2022 and 2023, though mortgage rates appeared to react within weeks of the Fed opting to cut or raise rates. How Do Treasury Bonds Respond To Lower Interest Rates? Long-term Treasury yields are more directly influenced by interest rates, as lower rates tend to result in lower yields.
