Coinbase exchange has launched stock and ETF trading for all its customers in the USA, who will be able to buy and sell stock and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on the same app.
According to a statement, the trading will be available 24/5. There will be no commission fees. In addition, users can fund their trades with U.S. dollars or the stablecoin USDC. Fractional shares start at as low as $1.
Coinbase first shared this plan in December 2025, through which it wants to become an “everything exchange.” The goal is to make available different kinds of investment on one platform. Earlier this month, the exchange launched a prediction market where users can trade based on their predictions about the real-life events.
Adding stock trading is the follow-up move. For starters, the exchange is offering over 8,000 stocks and ETFs. More assets will be added in the future.
Coinbase has also partnered with Yahoo Finance to allow users to trade directly from the platform. In addition, Yahoo Finance is also giving a one-month free trial of a Coinbase One Basic membership. This membership comes with zero trading fees and rewards in USDC.
Coinbase is now in competition with other trading apps like Robinhood. Both COIN and HOOD have dropped about 30% this year due to the crypto market crash that saw Bitcoin fall below $70K.
As a result, Coinbase’s fourth-quarter revenue fell by 5% to about $1.8 billion. Its transaction revenue dropped by 6% to $989 million, whereas subscription and services revenue fell 4% to $727 million. The company has reported a net loss of about $669 million, while it made a profit in the previous quarter.
To support the stock trading, the exchange is working with Apex Fintech Solutions to help with custody and execution. The exchange plans to add more stock to its 24/5 trading option soon and offer tokenized stock in the future.
Coinbase also intends to provide 24/7 access to U.S. equities for users outside the U.S. as soon as regulation is approved.
