Now, instead of just watching your crypto go up and down like a rollercoaster, you can throw in some U.S. stocks and ETFs and really spice things up. With commission-free trading available 24/5 (because who needs sleep when you can trade?), you can dip your toes in the stock market with just $1. That’s right, folks, your coffee change can buy you a slice of the American Dream!

Coinbase is starting strong with a whopping 8,000 stocks and ETFs ready for launch. Imagine the thrill of managing your stocks and cryptos all in one place. It’s like having a smoothie where all your favorite fruits get along – only this time, it’s financial assets.

Coinbase expressed their philosophy beautifully: “The traditional financial system shouldn’t stop just because the sun goes down.” Honestly, who knew they were such night owls? At Coinbase, they want everyone to be able to react instantly to market-moving news. Because nothing says ‘let’s make a fortune!’ like trading at midnight!

This bold move is all about bridging the gap between traditional financial markets and the wild, wild west of crypto. So, buckle up, because Coinbase is just getting started. They’re rolling out a selection of well-known stocks and promising thousands more in the coming months. It’s like a buffet of financial options!

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Coinbase teased, “Soon you will be able to trade anywhere in the world, leverage your equity holdings as on-chain collateral, and make instant payments backed by your stock value.” Now that’s quite the sales pitch! Who knew stocks could be so… adventurous?

In short, Coinbase is not just dipping its toes into equities; it’s cannonballing into the deep end. Watch out, Robinhood (HOOD); there’s a new player in town, and they’re ready to shake things up!
