Coinbase Unveils SEC-Registered AI Advisor and 21 New Products in System Update
On June 16, Coinbase unveiled its most extensive product launch to date, termed the "System Update," which features 21 new products and enhancements spanning trading, lending, payments, and on-chain infrastructure. A key highlight is Coinbase Advisor, an SEC-registered AI investment tool available initially to Coinbase One members in the U.S., offering tailored multi-asset suggestions without the ability to execute trades. Additionally, Coinbase is merging its U.S. spot exchange with international derivatives to create a global liquidity pool, asserting itself as the first CFTC-approved exchange for regulated global crypto derivatives. The update also broadens the range of tradable assets and includes a collaboration with Better for Bitcoin-backed mortgages. Coinbase commenced stock trading in December 2025 and introduced commission-free U.S. stock trading in February 2026.
