Coinbase has expanded its offerings by launching stock trading for U.S. users, integrating traditional and crypto markets. This initiative allows traders to purchase stocks using USDC, marking a significant step in Coinbase's 'everything exchange' strategy. CEO Brian Armstrong emphasized the importance of this development in creating a unified trading platform. The new feature aims to enhance portfolio diversification by providing users with more tools and options. By enabling traders to apply technical analysis across both crypto and stock markets, Coinbase seeks to streamline investment strategies and broaden its appeal to a wider range of investors.
