Coinbase plans a prediction markets platform using Kalshi’s regulated system. Users can trade USDC or USD across sports, politics, and tech events. Move aligns with Coinbase’s goal to become an “everything exchange.” Coinbase is preparing to enter the rapidly growing prediction markets sector, leveraging the regulated infrastructure of Kalshi to build its own platform. Screenshots shared by tech researcher Jane Manchun Wong suggest the cryptocurrency exchange is creating a fully branded interface that would allow users to trade event-based contracts using USDC or US dollars.

Coinbase has been an investor in CoinDCX since 2020 and disclosed the latest infusion in October. The approval follows Coinbase’s reopening of user registrations in India after a two-year hiatus. CoinDCX reported a $44.2 million wallet-related security breach in July without customer fund losses. India’s competition regulator has cleared Coinbase’s plan to deepen its ties with CoinDCX, marking another step in the US-based exchange’s renewed engagement with the Indian crypto market. The approval allows Coinbase to acquire a minority stake in DCX Global Limited, the parent company of CoinDCX, at a time when global exchanges are reassessing their exposure to…
Coinbase argues the Commodity Exchange Act gives the CFTC exclusive authority over event contracts. Earlier cases involving Kalshi show courts have yet to settle the issue decisively. The rulings could shape how prediction markets and related financial products develop nationwide. Coinbase has taken its dispute with US regulators to court as it expands into prediction markets, filing lawsuits against authorities in Connecticut, Illinois, and Michigan. The legal challenge centres on a fundamental question facing financial markets in the United States: whether prediction markets should be regulated at the federal level as financial derivatives or treated by states as gambling products.…
Stablecoins and the Base network sit at the core of its plans through 2026. The strategy places Coinbase closer to retail brokerages and derivatives platforms. Security and support concerns remain a constraint as the platform broadens. Coinbase is entering 2026 with a platform that looks increasingly different from a traditional crypto exchange. The company is placing greater emphasis on stablecoins, its Ethereum layer-2 network Base, and a wider range of trading products that stretch well beyond digital tokens. The shift reflects how crypto platforms are adapting as growth in spot trading cools and competition intensifies. Rather than positioning itself only…

Coinbase has enabled ADA as collateral, boosting liquidity without selling. Inverse head-and-shoulders pattern hints at a potential bullish reversal. Whale accumulation strengthens confidence in ADA’s near-term outlook. After the recent surge from around $0.24, Cardano (ADA) has struggled around the $0.27–$0.28 range for several weeks now. However, recent developments and chart patterns signal a possible breakout. Coinbase integration boosts ADA utility One of the main factors driving renewed interest is the announcement that Coinbase now allows ADA to be used as collateral for loans. This new feature allows users to borrow up to $100,000 in stablecoins without selling their ADA…
Ethena (ENA) jumped nearly 20% after the Coinbase open-market token purchase news. Anchorage deal expands Ethena into institutional lending markets. The next key resistance level sits at around $0.1367. Ethena’s ENA token has recorded a sharp intraday jump of about 19.5%, pushing the price to roughly $0.1025 at press time.
