Coinbase has launched a service in Britain that allows eligible users to trade about 4,000 U.S. stocks 24 hours a day, five days a week. From Aug. 6, qualified customers can buy, sell and manage U.S. shares in the Coinbase app alongside cryptocurrency and fiat holdings. Users can top up instantly with pounds or USDC, with no fees, and invest from 1 pound using fractional trading. Coinbase called it Britain’s first crypto-native U.S. stock trading app.

Coinbase has secured an investment services authorisation in Britain and expanded its local offering from spot crypto trading to stocks and derivatives. The approval will allow UK users to trade financial products alongside cryptocurrencies on the Coinbase platform. Institutional investors and advanced traders will be able to access perpetual futures linked to cryptocurrencies, stocks and commodities, while retail users can trade stocks. Coinbase said further launches may depend on regulatory approvals and UK rules.
