Coinbase (COIN) said it is increasing its bitcoin (BTC) holdings and that it plans to launch tokenized U.S. stocks and prediction markets in the coming months, marking a significant expansion of its business as it seeks to diversify its revenue stream.<\/p>\n

In a post on X<\/a> on Thursday, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said, \u201cCoinbase is long bitcoin. Our holding increased by 2,509 BTC in Q2, and we keep buying more.”<\/p>\n

The news about Coinbase buying bitcoin isn’t new, but it is definitely on trend, as many bitcoin treasuries have popped up recently to mimic Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR). However, the crypto exchange’s CFO, Alesia Haas, previously made it clear that Coinbase isn’t a BTC treasury company but rather a crypto operating company that invests in the sector.<\/p>\n

Separately, Coinbase confirmed to CNBC<\/a> that it is preparing to offer tokenized versions of U.S. equities \u2014 digital representations of shares that can be traded on blockchain infrastructure. The products will allow users to buy and sell fractions of stocks around the clock, with faster settlement and lower costs than traditional equity markets.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s chief legal officer, Paul Grewal, announced in June<\/a> that the company was seeking approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the product.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes amid a broader push by financial institutions to explore tokenization \u2014 the process of putting real-world assets on blockchain \u2014 as a way to improve efficiency and accessibility in capital markets. BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and JPMorgan have all made forays into the space in recent months.<\/p>\n

Coinbase\u2019s top competitors, Robinhood and Kraken, have both recently launched tokenized stocks outside of the U.S.<\/p>\n

The exchange also plans to launch prediction markets, which would enable users to bet on future events’ outcomes using crypto assets. These features are expected to roll out within months, pending regulatory clarity, Coinbase\u2019s vice president of product, Max Branzburg, told CNBC on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re building an exchange for everything,\u201d he told CNBC. \u201cEverything you want to trade, in a one-stop shop, on-chain. \u2026 We\u2019re bringing all assets onchain \u2014 stocks, prediction markets, and more. We\u2019re building the foundations for a faster, more accessible, more global economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coinbase reported second-quarter earnings<\/a> Thursday, missing estimates, as retail trading volume fell during the last quarter. Shares of the company are down about 6% in post-market trading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
