Coinbase receives UK MiFID license, to offer derivatives and stock trading to UK users

Odaily Odaily News: Coinbase has announced that it has obtained a UK investment services license (MiFID), and will offer traditional financial product trading services to UK users in the future. Institutional and professional traders can trade perpetual contracts for crypto, stocks, and commodities, while retail users will be able to trade stocks on the Coinbase platform for the first time.

Coinbase stated that this license, together with its existing UK e-money license and crypto asset registration, forms its regulatory framework. It represents the company's most significant expansion of product capabilities since entering the UK market and will further advance its "Everything Exchange" strategy. The platform will also gradually support services such as stablecoin payments, savings, lending, and tokenized real-world assets (RWA) in the future.
