Coinbase’s Wild Ride: Stocks, Bets, and AI 🤖🚀

In the dusty plains of the financial frontier, Coinbase Global Inc., that ol’ trusty cryptocurrency exchange, has rustled up a whole herd of new plans for the comin’ year. Seems they’re fixin’ to stake their claim in prediction markets, robo-advisers, and custom stablecoins-a far cry from their crypto roots. 🌾💸

Coinbase Throws Its Hat in the Ring with Robinhood and eToro

At their year-end System Update Conference, Coinbase laid out a spread of new offerings like a potluck dinner gone wild. Stock trading, custom stablecoins, tokenization, and AI-powered investment advisers-they’re throwin’ everything but the kitchen sink into the mix. 🤠📈

Now, they’ve already saddled up stock trading and a prediction market on their platform. This here stock trading lets folks wrangle stocks and ETFs from any corner of the globe, all powered by crypto. Globalization, they call it. We just call it fancy. 🌍💼

Stock trading.

Rolling out on Coinbase in the U.S.

Max Branzburg, the head honcho of consumer and business products, tipped his hat and called stock trading “a major milestone.” Reckon he’s not wrong-it’s put Coinbase right alongside Robinhood and eToro, them platforms that juggle stocks and crypto like a circus act. Before you know it, they’ll be outpacing Kraken and Gemini, who’ve been tokenizing stocks outside the U.S. like it’s a barn dance. 🎪🤹‍♂️

Coinbase Dips Its Toes in Prediction Markets, Cooks Up Coinbase Tokenize

Last month, tech sleuth Jane Manchun Wong sniffed out Coinbase’s prediction markets website like a bloodhound, postin’ screenshots on X to prove it. Turns out, it’s backed by Kalshi, that prediction market outfit. At the conference, Coinbase unveiled it-betting on sports, politics, you name it. They’re joinin’ the likes of Polymarket, Gemini, DraftKings, and the rest of the gang. 🕵️‍♀️🏈

And if that ain’t enough, they’re cookin’ up Coinbase Advisor, an AI-powered financial guru. Just like Robinhood and eToro’s offerings, it’ll dish out advice on crypto, stocks, and prediction markets, all based on what you say or what’s happenin’ in the news. Their “custom stablecoins”? Backed by Circle’s USDC, of course. 🧠💡

But the real kicker is Coinbase Tokenize-an “end-to-end solution” for bringin’ offchain assets onchain. Issuance, custody, compliance, trading-they’re packin’ it all into one shiny package. Sounds like they’re tryin’ to be the Swiss Army knife of finance. 🛠️✨
