Coinbase Opens Commission-Free Stock Trading to All U.S. Users

Crypto News

Coinbase has rolled out stock and exchange-traded fund trading to all U.S. users, allowing customers to buy and sell equities alongside crypto within a single app on a 24-hour, five-day-a-week basis. The launch includes commission-free trading, fractional shares, and instant funding through USD or USDC, with approximately 6,000 securities currently supported.

The exchange said it plans to expand the number of available securities in the coming weeks. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong

the rollout on X, describing the platform's direction as "the everything exchange is growing."

For non-U.S. users, Coinbase said it aims to introduce stock perpetual futures through Coinbase Bermuda Ltd., subject to regulatory approval. The company also indicated plans to offer tokenized equities at a future date, though no timeline was provided.

The rollout follows Coinbase's expansion of prediction markets to all 50 U.S. states last month through a partnership with Kalshi, allowing users to trade contracts tied to sports, politics, and cultural events. Combined, these moves position the exchange as a multi-asset trading destination extending well beyond crypto.

Coinbase also announced a partnership with Yahoo Finance on Tuesday, enabling users to move directly from researching an asset on Yahoo Finance to executing a trade on Coinbase in a single click. Yahoo Finance will display real-time data from Coinbase for asset discovery and tracking, and Yahoo Finance users will be offered a one-month trial of Coinbase One Basic as part of the agreement.
