Coinbase Wins UK Approval to Expand Into Equities and Derivatives
The approval lets Coinbase add equities for retail users and derivatives for advanced traders as it pursues an “everything exchange” model.
- On Tuesday, Fintech Coinbase secured a United Kingdom investment services license, enabling the exchange to offer equities and derivatives alongside crypto on a single platform.
- The company described the approval as its largest United Kingdom product expansion, advancing its vision of an "everything exchange" combining crypto and traditional assets under one platform.
- Advanced traders will gain access to perpetual futures tied to crypto, equities and commodities, while retail users can trade equities for the first time on Coinbase.
- While retail users gain equity access, the Financial Conduct Authority maintains restrictions on retail crypto derivatives, requiring transactions occur on an FCA-approved, UK-based Recognised Investment Exchange.
- FCA research cited by Coinbase estimates about 7 million United Kingdom adults already hold crypto, with roughly one quarter of non-owners indicating they would participate under clearer regulation.
