Coinbase adds AI advisor, global liquidity, options

Coinbase is significantly expanding its offerings with a new AI-powered advisor and unified global liquidity across its U.S. and international platforms. This strategic move aims to transform the crypto exchange into an "everything exchange," integrating traditional finance products with digital assets. The update includes stock and ETF trading, options for both crypto and equities, and thematic futures tied to areas like AI. These enhancements position Coinbase to compete directly with brokerages, banks, and other fintech firms by providing a comprehensive financial platform.
