Coinbase Expands to Canada with Everything Exchange for Stocks and Crypto

Coinbase aims to bring its "Everything Exchange" to Canadian users, as confirmed by the company’s CEO Eric Richmond. This new platform is designed to allow users to manage crypto, stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and prediction markets from a single app, eliminating the need for multiple financial services.

Richmond expressed that this initiative marks a shift in perception for Coinbase, stating, "I think chapter one of Coinbase in Canada was really about being a crypto exchange. But now phase two of that is the Everything Exchange." The company envisions a seamless experience for Canadians, where all their financial interactions are centralized in one place, leveraging technology to facilitate operations round-the-clock.

While there is no confirmed launch date for Canada yet, Richmond highlighted that Coinbase is working closely with local regulators. This relationship has been strengthened since Coinbase registered as the first international crypto exchange in Canada in April 2024, which has likely paved the way for this expansion.

In the United States, Coinbase has already made significant strides, having allowed eligible users to trade stocks and ETFs since February 2026 and launched prediction markets earlier in January through Kalshi, a regulated market operator. The expansion into Canada is part of a broader strategy intended to feature nearly 10,000 stocks and ETFs on Coinbase’s platform.

Tokenized stocks, which represent shares recorded on a blockchain and offer immediate settlement and continuous trading, are also in the pipeline for non-U.S. users, including Canadians. These offerings will come with full dividend rights, broadening access to financial instruments in an innovative manner.
