Coinbase overhauls Advanced Trading platform in bid to unify global crypto liquidity
Coinbase announced a major product redesign on June 16, calling it “System Update,” as it pushes further toward its goal of becoming an “Everything Exchange.” The update adds an SEC-regulated AI investment advisor, unified global liquidity pools, and a wider set of trading products across crypto and traditional finance. The move builds on Coinbases roadmap announced in July 2025, which has since expanded to include stock trading, prediction markets, and integrated decentralized trading across dozens of countries. The new products include stock and crypto options, pre-IPO perpetual futures, thematic index perpetual contracts covering sectors such as AI and defense, and tokenized stocks, according to the companys announcements on X. Coinbase also confirmed that it is bringing crypto derivatives trading back to American users. The company began rolling out stock trading and prediction markets in December 2025, opened commission-free U.S. stock and ETF trading to eligible customers in February 2026, and expanded integrated decentralized trading to users in 84 countries in March 2026. The latest System Update extends that strategy into AI-assisted investing and unified cross-asset trading. Coinbase said its unified account will eventually allow users to trade crypto assets, nearly 10,000 stocks and ETFs, prediction markets, perpetual futures, and tokenized assets from one platform.
