The boundary between crypto and Wall Street just got a little thinner. Coinbase, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has thrown open stock and ETF trading to all eligible US customers, letting them buy and sell equities alongside their digital assets. The service is available commission-free and around the clock.
The platform now supports roughly 6,000 securities, with plans to add more in the coming weeks. Users can fund trades instantly using US dollars or USDC and access fractional shares starting at just $1. Members of Coinbase One, a paid membership/subscription service offered by the exchange, can also earn uncapped rewards on USDC balances used for trading.
Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, announced the rollout on Tuesday on X. “The everything exchange is growing, signaling the company’s broader ambition to become a one-stop financial platform for both traditional and digital assets,” he wrote.
Yahoo Finance Partnership Adds New Dimension
Coinbase also unveiled a partnership with Yahoo Finance, allowing users to jump directly from researching a stock on Yahoo Finance to executing a trade on Coinbase in a single click. Yahoo Finance will display real-time Coinbase data for asset discovery and tracking, while new users receive a one-month trial of Coinbase One Basic through the tie-up.

Coinbase soon plans to launch tokenized equities—blockchain-based versions of traditional shares. This will enable global trading and allow users to use equity holdings as on-chain collateral. The company also intends to introduce trading of stock perpetual futures for non-US users through Coinbase Bermuda Ltd.
The announcement about its latest offering arrives weeks after the exchange expanded its prediction markets to all 50 US states through a partnership with Kalshi.
