ChangeNOW, a crypto services platform, has appointed former TON executive Martin Masser as its Director of Strategic Partnerships. Masser will focus on building key relationships with blockchain networks, wallets, fintech companies, and infrastructure providers. This move supports ChangeNOW's transition into a "crypto super app," aiming to integrate services like buying, storing, swapping, trading, and managing digital assets into a single, seamless user experience. The strategy seeks to eliminate the complexity of using multiple platforms. Masser's role will emphasize partnerships that enhance product infrastructure and simplify the client journey, rather than merely accumulating announcements. ChangeNOW, operating since 2017, is evolving from an instant exchange into a comprehensive platform for both consumers and businesses.

Coinbase is expanding beyond digital assets in the UK by launching trading of US-listed stocks, advancing its "Everything Exchange" strategy. Starting August 6, eligible UK customers will gain gradual access to nearly 4,000 stocks through the same app used for cryptocurrencies and fiat balances. Trading will be available 24/5, extending beyond standard Wall Street hours. Users can buy fractional shares from £1, pay instantly with GBP or USDC, and trade stocks commission-free (other fees may apply). This follows the UK release of crypto-backed savings and lending products, as part of Coinbase's move to become a broader financial platform. The launch was enabled by Coinbase securing UK regulatory approval (MiFID) from the FCA, allowing it to offer regulated services for financial instruments. The company aims to attract more UK retail investors by simplifying access and aligning stock trading hours closer to the 24/7 crypto market, bridging the gap between traditional and digital assets.
