Show description: On December 17, Coinbase announced it will add equities trading to its core app and web experience, integrate Kalshi-powered prediction markets, and brand the initiative Everything Exchange; the company will let users manage stocks alongside bitcoin, ether, stablecoins, and other tokens in a single account and interface. Funding and settlement rails will tie into users' crypto wallets and the platform will support buying stocks with USDC, while Coinbase will provide unified balances, a single identity, and a consistent order entry experience across asset classes. Kalshi-powered event contracts will provide regulated exposure to outcomes such as economic indicators, interest rate decisions, and election timelines within the same account used for crypto and equities. Coinbase signaled a roadmap that includes tokenized stocks and a single onboarding flow with consolidated rails. The company said the changes can expand investable options, streamline treasury and portfolio allocations, enable stock funding with stablecoins, and add nearer-term hedging and price-discovery instruments for crypto-exposed positions. Coinbase identified execution risks including integration of balances, collateral, and real-time risk across asset classes; liquidity depth and fee competitiveness; system reliability under mixed workloads; and regulatory compliance for event contracts and any tokenized or synthetic equities. Stakeholders should monitor regional rollouts, asset coverage cadence, how USDC and other stablecoins are treated for collateral and settlement, initial liquidity and fee structures, institution-grade workflows and custody integrations, partner expansion beyond Kalshi, and regulatory signals on tokenized equities and event markets. Coinbase said the move broadens its addressable revenue across trading, custody, payments, data, and financing and positions the firm as an access layer for multiple asset classes.
