2026-07-07 17:04

Woofun AI reports that Coinbase has secured a UK investment services license under MiFID regulations. This authorization allows the platform to provide traditional financial product trading to UK users. Institutional and professional traders will gain access to perpetual contracts for cryptocurrencies, stocks, and commodities. Retail users can now trade stocks on the Coinbase platform for the first time. The company stated that this license, combined with its existing UK e-money license and crypto asset registration, establishes its regulatory framework. Coinbase described this as its most significant expansion of product capabilities since entering the UK market. The platform plans to gradually support stablecoin payments, savings, lending, and tokenized real-world assets (RWA) in the future.
