Coinbase Unveils Options Trading, Tokenized Stocks, and Borrowing Against Staked Solana
Coinbase announced new products and features on Tuesday, aiming to become a one-stop financial hub. The exchange will launch options trading for crypto and equities in the coming months, alongside tokenized stocks that pay automatic dividends. Users can now borrow against staked Solana, and the Coinbase One Card offers 5% Bitcoin back via a new travel portal. The company also introduced prediction markets for crypto price targets and instant access to new token launches on Solana and Base. CEO Brian Armstrong emphasized that the tokenized stocks are 1:1 backed real assets, unlike derivatives. This expansion builds on recent moves including pre-IPO perps, AI trading tools, and participation in the first government-guaranteed Bitcoin-backed mortgage. Coinbase aims to become the 'everything exchange,' allowing users to spend, send, trade, invest, and borrow in one place.
