Coinbase Adds Stock Trading, Prediction Markets

Coinbase has added stock trading, Kalshi-powered prediction markets, and Solana-based DEX access as it moves toward an “everything app.”

The US crypto exchange unveiled the updates at its year-end conference, confirming a partnership with prediction markets platfrom Kalshi and new Solana integrations.

“This is a major milestone in our plan to enable 24/7 trading of stocks and ETFs from anywhere in the world, powered by crypto,” said Max Branzburg, Coinbase’s head of consumer and business products.

As part of the expansion, Coinbase will integrate with Solana DEX aggregator Jupiter, allowing users to swap Solana tokens directly within the app without leaving the platform.

Branzburg said the additions advance Coinbase’s broader goal of building an “everything exchange.”

The company laid the groundwork for this new super ecosystem back in July, when it rebranded its wallet app to an “everything app,” adding apps, social networks and chat features in the process.

Booming Prediction Markets Space

The move into prediction markets with Kalshi comes amid intensifying competition in the space. Kalshi and main rival Polymarket have announced a series of strategic partnerships this year with companies including Google and UFC. 

Competitors have outlined plans to launch or have launched their own prediction market offering this year. Among them is digital trading platform Robinhood, which said that prediction markets was among its fastest-growing businesses in 2025. 

Gemini, the crypto exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins, said that it will soon launch its own prediction markets, as well as its own everything app. 

Coinbase Receives “Buy” Rating From Deutsche Bank

Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank initiated coverage of Coinbase by giving the exchange a “buy” rating and a price target of $340, implying almost 40% upside potential for the company’s stock.

Coinbase shares closed yesterday’s trading down more than 3% at $244.19, but is up 1.5% in the after-hours session. 

Yesterday’s decline was an extension of the longer-term downtrend for Coinbase’s share price, which has plummeted over 17% in the past six months, in line with the crypto market’s broader pullback in the second half of the year. 

Amid the exchange’s ongoing share price struggles, Deutsche Bank said that it is optimistic on Coinbase because its vision for creating an “everything exchange” is moving from concept to execution. The upcoming product launches are expected to grow the exchange’s addressable markets over time, the bank said. 

Deutsche Bank also pointed to Coinbase’s acquisition of the crypto options exchange Deribit and the rollout of CFTC-regulated perpetual-style futures in the US as structural growth opportunities. 

Another pillar highlighted by the bank was stablecoins and subscription services. The bank said that the rising USDC balances on Coinbase’s platform combined with the increased use of stablecoins for payments and on-chain activity could result in more recurring revenue for the exchange while also reducing its reliance on volatile trading cycles.
