Promote with Leviathan NewsTL;DR: In February, Coinbase pushed further into becoming a full financial stack, launching 24/5 U.S. stock trading with zero commissions, unified crypto–stock portfolios, and Yahoo Finance distribution, while making stablecoins productive through Bitcoin rewards on USDC and expanding crypto-backed loans. On the infrastructure side, Coinbase doubled down on the agent economy with agentic wallets, onchain developer incentives, stablecoin startup funding via Base, and machine-to-machine USDC payments, all while navigating new tax rules, reporting standards, and high-visibility cultural moments that signal crypto’s deeper merge with mainstream finance.
