Coinbase unveils stock, derivatives, and AI products in push to be comprehensive exchange

Coinbase has unveiled a diverse range of new products spanning stocks, derivatives, artificial intelligence (AI), and consumer finance as it aims to become a comprehensive trading platform. According to CoinDesk, the exchange announced plans to offer options trading for both cryptocurrencies and stocks. As part of its expanded equity services, users can now transfer stock portfolios from other brokerages and trade crypto, U.S. stocks, ETFs, and stock indices through Coinbase Advanced. The company is also expanding its derivatives business to include perpetual futures linked to specific theme baskets—such as AI, the defense industry, and Chinese stocks—as well as pre-IPO perpetual futures for private companies. Additionally, the exchange has launched Coinbase Advisor, one of the first AI-powered investment advisory tools registered with the U.S. SEC. The tool, which aims to provide portfolio recommendations, tax-loss harvesting, and market analysis, will initially be available to Coinbase One users in the United States.
