Coinbase is dramatically expanding its platform to become the Everything Exchange,

introducing stock trading, prediction markets, and AI-powered wealth management.

The feature offers zero commission trading 24 hours a day and five days a week,

powered by the firm's new coin-based tokenized infrastructure. The expansion also integrates the $11 billion valued prediction market Kalshi, allowing users to bet on real-world events like

elections and economic indicators. Utility or privacy. The transparency of traditional blockchains forces a difficult choice.

the largest asset by market cap is trading at around $88,000.

at nearly $900 million.

Vivo Power, which recently pivoted to an XRP-centric treasury strategy, says it's received

approval from Ripple to purchase an initial trench of preferred shares.
