Coinbase rolls out stock trading, prediction markets in ‘everything app’ push

cointelegraphPublished on 2025-12-17Last updated on 2025-12-17

Abstract

Coinbase has expanded its services by launching stock trading and prediction markets as part of its strategy to become an "everything app." The crypto exchange announced the availability of stock and ETF trading in the U.S., with plans for 24/7 global access. Additionally, Coinbase partnered with Kalshi to introduce prediction markets, initially rolling out outside the U.S. The company also revealed plans to offer 24/7 perpetuals with high leverage early next year, allowing bets on both crypto and stocks. These moves align with Coinbase's broader rebranding effort earlier this year to include apps, social features, and chat functionalities.

Coinbase is launching stock trading and prediction markets as the crypto exchange looks beyond digital assets to chase its ambition of creating an “everything app.”

Coinbase head of consumer and business products, Max Branzburg, announced at the company’s year-end conference that “stock trading is now available on Coinbase.”

“This is a major milestone in our plan to enable 24/7 trading of stocks and ETFs from anywhere in the world, powered by crypto,” he said.

Branzburg also said that Coinbase has launched prediction markets in partnership with Kalshi, which will begin its rollout today and later come to the US.

Last month, tech researcher Jane Manchun Wong discovered that Coinbase was developing a prediction markets platform, which indicated it would be backed by Kalshi.

Coinbase is also set to offer 24/7 perpetuals early next year, which will allow users to bet on crypto and stocks gaining or dropping with up to 50 times leverage.

Branzburg said that the new product lineup is part of Coinbase’s “everything exchange.” The company started to lay the groundwork for a wider set of offerings in July, rebranding its wallet app as an “everything app” that added apps, social networks and chat features.

Goldman Sachs Report Analysis: Significant Upward Revision in Wafer Front-end Equipment (WFE) Forecast to $150 Billion, Driven by DRAM and Foundry Equipment Spending

Gold Sachs has significantly revised its WFE forecast upwards for 2026-2028, driven by strong demand in DRAM and advanced foundry sectors. The 2026-2028 WFE market is now projected at $150B, $218B, and $281B, up 6%, 17%, and 35% from prior estimates. Growth is fueled by DRAM, particularly for HBM4 production requiring advanced etching and deposition, extending industry capacity constraints. In foundry, the N2 node transition boosts EUV lithography and related tool demand. The Logic/Other segment sees an uplift from Intel demand and the initial $16.8B phase of the SpaceX/Tesla "Terafab" project. NAND forecasts are largely unchanged. The report highlights a shift from single-sector to broad-based demand, benefiting key equipment suppliers like Applied Materials, Lam Research, ASML, and Tokyo Electron across etching, deposition, lithography, and inspection.

Bitcoin Soars Over 24% in a Week, Best Weekly K in Recent Years, $2.7B Short Squeeze Sets Record, Policy Tailwinds Ignite Rally

Bitcoin surged over 24% this week, breaking above $78,000 and marking its best weekly performance since March 2024. The rally accelerated following a series of crypto-friendly signals from Washington and was further amplified by a record wave of forced short liquidations. Data from CoinGlass shows approximately $27.4 billion in crypto short positions were liquidated within 24 hours, the largest such event since the platform's records began in 2021. Total liquidations neared $30 billion, with shorts accounting for about 92%. Key drivers included a new SEC proposal ("Regulation Crypto Assets") to simplify token offerings, progress on the stalled CLARITY法案, comments from CFTC Chairman Michael Selig about moving forward independently if Congress delays, and former President Trump's remarks regarding bringing the Hyperliquid exchange into the US compliantly. Macroscopically, the US Treasury's announcement to double its long-term bond buyback program helped lower yields, improving liquidity expectations for risk assets. The market, previously stagnant near $60,000 with high short positioning, saw a violent squeeze. This created a self-reinforcing cycle where rising prices triggered further short liquidations. The interplay between shifting policy expectations and this massive deleveraging event fueled the historic weekly gain.

Term Finance loses estimated $8.5M in vault governance exploit

Decentralized lending protocol Term Finance suffered an estimated $8.5 million loss due to a governance exploit targeting its strategy vaults. The attacker reportedly drained around 2,843 ETH and 1.68 million USDC by cheaply acquiring a majority of a sparsely held governance token and passing proposals to seize control. This represented approximately 68% of the vault's pre-attack holdings. Term Labs has irreversibly shut down all affected Meta Vaults, preventing further deposits while allowing withdrawals, and stated the core lending protocol remains unaffected. The company is coordinating with security teams on recovery efforts. This incident follows a previous oracle error in April 2025 that caused unintended liquidations.

19 New Decacorns in Half a Year: Why is the Primary Market Chasing 'Certainty'?

In the first half of 2026, China’s primary market saw a notable increase in unicorns, adding 19 new companies each valued over 100 billion RMB, particularly in sectors like embodied AI and large language models (LLMs). Firms such as Galaxy General, Zibian, and ZhiPingFang even surpassed 200 billion RMB valuations within months. Moonshot AI's valuation surged from around $10 billion to $35 billion by July 2026, with a pre-IPO target of $50 billion. This concentration of capital into a few "certain" sectors highlights a market shift. The driving force is not a general abundance of capital but a chase for "certainty"—primarily clearer exit pathways like imminent IPOs. Companies with defined public listing timelines attract intense investment despite higher valuations, as they reduce exit uncertainty for investors. Secondary market valuations of listed peers also serve as new anchors, boosting the perceived value of private companies in similar fields, though this creates dependency on public market sentiment. Another form of certainty comes from the expectation of rising valuations in subsequent funding rounds. The investment logic has shifted in some cases from assessing long-term fundamental value to betting on the next round attracting higher prices. This dynamic is also seen in deep-tech areas like nuclear fusion, where firms like NeoFusion secured a 10.6 billion RMB valuation despite early commercial stages, driven by scarcity and strategic bets. However, this trend signals a risk transfer: technical uncertainties remain but are temporarily masked by valuation inflation. As valuations climb—50 billion to 200 billion or 500 billion RMB—companies face increasing pressure to demonstrate real revenue, profit, and sustainable business models. The danger lies not in the rise of unicorns itself, but if valuations become detached from value creation and rely merely on the expectation of future funding or exits. Ultimately, the surge reflects investors seeking perceived safety in shorter-term exit certainty and transactional momentum, rather than a renewed appetite for risk. The true test will come when the market inevitably refocuses on fundamentals, questioning how many of today’s high valuations are backed by genuine economic value.

Just Now, Sam Altman Blasts Dario Amodei as 'Anti-Human', Secret Model Exposed the Same Day

Just now, Sam Altman strongly criticized Dario (Amodei, co-founder of Anthropic), denouncing his "doomsday marketing" as "anti-human dictator rhetoric." This came alongside the accidental exposure of OpenAI's next-generation model, codenamed "gpt-nathree," hinting at the imminent release of GPT-6 Astra. The leak occurred when an OpenAI employee's public GitHub commit mentioned the codename. Combined with previous leaks of "gpt-mewfour," it suggests these are iterative checkpoints for OpenAI's upcoming agent model, Astra. Astra is known for multi-agent collaboration and long-duration task handling, having reportedly solved previously unsolved mathematical problems. Meanwhile, two new Anthropic model codenames, "claude-marshmallow-eap" and "claude-melon-eap," were also exposed but are believed to be iterations of the Claude 5 series, not a new flagship. In a wide-ranging podcast interview, Altman admitted he was wrong about the speed of AI-driven disruption, acknowledging societal inertia slows adoption. He fiercely criticized rivals' marketing that simultaneously promises immense benefits (like curing cancer) and warns of existential risk, calling it a dangerous "benevolent dictator" narrative that seeks to concentrate power. He emphasized that people are the ultimate purpose of AI. Altman also revealed OpenAI's unconventional, consensus-defying path: spending four and a half years in the "dark" without a public product before ChatGPT's breakthrough, driven by scaling laws rather than early customer feedback. He concluded that even with superintelligent AI, genuine human connection will remain irreplaceably valuable.
