Coinbase launched one of its broadest product expansions on December 17, 2025, adding commission-free U.S. stock and ETF trading, Kalshi-powered prediction markets, Solana DEX integration via Jupiter, custom stablecoin issuance tools, and an AI advisor, positioning the exchange as a multi-asset “everything” platform in direct competition with fintech apps and global brokers.
The rollout includes extended-hours equities trading for U.S. users, with plans for stock-linked perpetual futures internationally, and Coinbase Tokenize for institutional real-world asset issuance. Prediction markets through Kalshi enable regulated event-based bets, while Jupiter integration brings Solana DEX liquidity and new token access directly into the Coinbase app. Stablecoin features include Custom Stablecoins for businesses and the x402 payments standard.
