Coinbase Global (COIN) has been the place where retail investors buy Bitcoin (BTCUSD) at midnight and track Ethereum (ETHUSD) before breakfast. Founded as a pure-play crypto exchange, the New York-based platform built its reputation on making digital assets accessible to the everyday investor. Now, it is expanding that playbook.
Beyond crypto, Coinbase has rolled out commission-free stock and ETF trading for all U.S. users – 24 hours a day, five days a week. Over 8,000 U.S.-listed equities and ETFs are now available inside the same app where users trade Bitcoin, complete with $1 fractional shares, instant funding via dollars or USDC, and seamless integration with Yahoo Finance for one-click execution.
