Now, over 8,000 stocks and ETFs are available for Coinbase users in the U.S. to trade 24-5.

What this means for the future is we've got a really exciting roadmap of people being able to blend

seamlessly across different asset classes, starting, of course, with crypto, but also including

placing predictions, making buys and sales of equities, and so on.

And so we are really excited about it. We call it the Everything Exchange.

Coinbase is making a major push beyond crypto, rolling out 24-5 stock and ETF trading to U.S. customers

and laying the groundwork for tokenized equities, a move that could reshape how retail investors access public markets.

Joining us now to break this down as Coinbase, head of consumer and platform business development, Mark Trojanovski.

Hello.

Hello, how are you? I'm doing well. How are you doing today? I'm great. Thanks for having me here. All right. There's this new product. Your users are going to have access to stocks within the platform laying the groundwork, like I said, for tokenized stocks in the future. Talk to me about what this means for Coinbase moving forward. Well, so just to lay the groundwork back in December, we announced that we were going to be rolling out equities on Coinbase.

We announced a 1% rollout of it.

And last week, we gave it to all of our users.

We call it the Everything Exchange.

It's a concept that we rolled out back at our event in December.

And 2020, 2020 is going to be a big year for Coinbase.

All right.

This rolled out just about a week ago. Talk to me about how folks have been using it.
