Today's Top Headlines

Coinbase aiming to be the Number 1 financial All-in-one App.

During Tuesday’s ‘System Update’ livestream Coinbase announced they will be adding Stock and ETF trading to their platform (US). They also announced the heavily rumoured prediction markets via Kalshi for events like elections and sports. The Coinbase app now integrates Solana tokens, DEX trading, AI portfolio advice, Custom Stablecoin Creation, and borrowing against your Bitcoin and Ethereum.

There was no launch of the Base token like a lot of people were hoping for, however Coinbase did take the Baseapp live for everyone rather than invite only, and announced a competition to win a share of $2M if you join before December 21st.  You can join the Baseapp here
