Coinbase launches System Update, introducing AI investment advisors, global liquidity integration, and multi-asset trading features

Coinbase has released the latest System Update, announcing a series of product upgrades that cover AI investment advisory, global liquidity unification, options trading, and the expansion of multi-asset financial services, further transforming into a comprehensive financial platform. The core features of this update include the SEC-registered AI investment advisor Coinbase Advisor, which can provide personalized multi-asset trading and hedging strategies based on user holdings and market data, but does not execute trades directly. At the same time, the platform will introduce a globally unified liquidity pool, connecting the spot and derivatives trading systems of the U.S. and international markets.

In terms of product expansion, Coinbase will support stock and crypto options trading and strengthen its derivatives capabilities through the acquisition of Deribit. Additionally, the company has launched pre-IPO perpetual contracts covering popular targets like SpaceX and plans to expand to future IPO projects such as Anthropic and OpenAI. Coinbase has also introduced the Coinbase One Card upgrade program, where users can stake $500 to $5000 USDC to qualify for a credit card and receive 5% Bitcoin cashback when booking through the Booking.com travel portal. The platform will also gradually support the migration of stock assets to Coinbase trading.

On the trading infrastructure level, Coinbase has introduced the Transfer Protection mechanism, which prevents security risks such as wrench attacks through delayed withdrawals, and has expanded its prediction market products, launching crypto price binary options and combination prediction trading with a 15-minute cycle. Coinbase stated that its goal is to build an Everything Exchange covering trading, payments, lending, and investment, making it the primary financial account for users.
