Coinbase запускает новые финансовые инструменты: от торговли акциями до прогнозов Translation: Coinbase Launches New Financial Tools: From Stock Trading to Predictions

The exchange will launch stock and ETF trading while entering the predictions market.

The American cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase unveiled a variety of new products during its annual System Update conference. One of the highlighted announcements was the introduction of a predictions platform.

Coinbase has partnered with PPro to allow its customers in Poland to fund their accounts via Blik, a mobile payment system utilized by nearly 20 million people nationwide.

«Our primary goal is to enhance local payment solutions. Simple and familiar payment methods are crucial for encouraging more people to start using cryptocurrency,» commented Kom Prost, head of Coinbase’s French division.

Coinbase has also formed a partnership with the U.S.-regulated platform Kalshi. Users will be able to trade bets on the outcomes of various events—ranging from politics to sports—using USDC within the familiar interface.

Initially, Kalshi will provide all liquidity for these transactions, with plans for Coinbase to integrate additional platforms in the future.

The exchange’s intention to enter the predictions market was first revealed last November when researcher Jane Manchun Wong discovered interfaces for trading stocks and making prediction bets in Coinbase’s mobile app code.

Additionally, the exchange announced the launch of commission-free stock and ETF trading through its subsidiary, Coinbase Capital Markets Corp. This feature is already available for U.S. users.

Users can buy and sell individual stocks 24/7.

The platform is also preparing infrastructure for perpetual stock contracts and an institutional solution for Coinbase Tokenize. More information regarding these products is anticipated in 2026.

Coinbase has expanded access to derivatives by introducing a simplified interface, previously available only through a separate Advanced segment designed for professionals.

Moreover, Coinbase is integrating Jupiter, a leading DEX aggregator on the Solana blockchain, into its interface.

This integration allows users to trade tokens created within the ecosystem immediately after their launch. The decentralized platform will seek the best prices and manage routing, while Coinbase provides the user experience and wallet.

Over time, the exchange intends to integrate even more networks.

Coinbase announced the launch of a Custom Stablecoins platform, enabling companies to issue their own stablecoins. These will be backed by a basket of other digital assets pegged to the dollar, primarily USDC. Pilot partners for this project will include Flipcash, Solflare, and R2.

In parallel, the company will expand its API platform for developers, granting access to storage, payment, trading tools, and stablecoin functionalities.

One specific area of focus is the development of the x402 payment protocol, which has exceeded $200 million in monthly turnover. To support the standard, the exchange, in collaboration with Cloudflare and other market participants, has established the x402 Foundation.

The platform introduced Coinbase Advisor, an embedded AI assistant within the app. This tool acts as a personal financial consultant, aiding users in market analysis, portfolio formation, and providing recommendations based on Coinbase’s product offerings and current data. The product is currently in beta testing.

Simultaneously, Coinbase is expanding the geography of its on-chain ecosystem, with its super app, Base App, now operational in more than 140 countries.

For the corporate sector, Coinbase has launched the Coinbase Business platform. This service is available to companies in the U.S. and Singapore as a complete alternative to traditional banking, allowing global cryptocurrency transactions, asset management, financial automation, and earning interest on USDC balances.

Corporate clients of Coinbase will soon gain access to all new trading features of the main platform.

Deutsche Bank has begun coverage of Coinbase shares with a «Buy» recommendation. The bank predicts a 40% rise in the stock price—targeting $340, as reported by CNBC.

Analysts’ optimism stems from Coinbase’s transformation into a universal financial platform. They believe that the launch of new products gives the company access to fundamentally new markets.

Experts identified two key growth drivers:

In the past 24 hours, COIN shares have decreased by 8.4% to $244, marking the lowest trading level in seven months.

Deutsche Bank analysts noted that the correction amidst general market stagnation “has opened a window of opportunity” for investors, as the current price does not reflect Coinbase’s long-term profitability potential.

Coinbase has received approval from the Indian regulator for acquiring a stake in the local platform CoinDCX.

«We greatly appreciate the Competition Commission of India’s decision to approve our proposal to acquire a minority stake in CoinDCX. This is an important regulatory milestone that deepens Coinbase’s long-term partnership with one of India’s most established and reputable platforms,» commented Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal.

In July, media reported that the American exchange was in talks to acquire CoinDCX, a claim that the latter’s CEO later denied.

In October, Coinbase announced investments in CoinDCX to expand its presence in India and the Middle East, with the specific amount of investment being undisclosed. According to CoinDCX’s statement, the platform’s valuation in the deal reached $2.4 billion.

It is worth noting that in December, Coinbase reopened its app for Indian clients after a two-year hiatus.
