Coinbase announced further platform expansions in June 2026, introducing options trading, ACATS stock transfers, and pre-IPO perpetual futures, building on its prior moves toward an 'everything exchange'.
The crypto exchange said it will introduce tokenized stocks backed one-for-one by U.S. equities. Users outside the United States will be able to own, trade and receive dividends on the assets through blockchain technology.
Coinbase also enabled ACATS transfers so customers can move stock portfolios into its brokerage. The company added options trading for both stocks and cryptocurrencies along with pre-IPO perpetual futures.
In parallel, Coinbase rolled out Coinbase Advisor, an SEC-registered AI tool that provides portfolio recommendations and tax guidance for subscribers. Additional features include a USDC-backed credit card and Bitcoin rewards on travel bookings.
CEO Brian Armstrong described the updates as steps toward an "everything exchange" that combines traditional finance and crypto services in one platform. This follows the company's December 2025 announcements of tokenized stock trading, prediction markets via Kalshi, and initial AI tools.
