Coinbase launches Everything Exchange in Canada with stocks and crypto
In brief
- Coinbase expands Everything Exchange into Canada with crypto, stocks, ETFs, and prediction markets in one account
- Company became Canada's first registered international crypto exchange in April 2024 and enters phase two expansion
- No hard launch date set; Coinbase coordinates with Canadian regulators for platform rollout
Phase Two for Coinbase Canada
Eric Richmond, CEO of Coinbase Canada, framed the Everything Exchange as the next chapter for the company's presence north of the border. "I think chapter one of Coinbase in Canada was really about being a crypto exchange," Richmond said. "But now phase two of that is the Everything Exchange. How do we create that one place for Canadians to have their entire financial experience in one app that's underpinned by this technology that makes things frictionless, seamless, and 24/7?"
No hard launch date has been set for Canada, but Coinbase says it is working closely with local regulators to get there. The Bank of Canada is expected to finalize stablecoin implementing regulations in 2027, which could smooth the path forward.
What's on the Roadmap
Coinbase's Everything Exchange roadmap now includes nearly 10,000 stocks and ETFs on one platform. The company already opened stock and ETF trading to eligible American users in February 2026. Tokenized stocks—shares in real companies recorded on a blockchain instead of a traditional brokerage system—are supposed to be coming to non-U.S. customers this month.
On the prediction-markets side, Coinbase launched prediction markets in January through Kalshi, a federally regulated prediction market operator now valued at $22 billion. The bet is that Canadians want one app for everything—crypto, equities, and wagers on future events—rather than juggling separate accounts.
The Everything Exchange represents Coinbase's attempt to compete not just with other crypto platforms but with traditional brokers and banks. It's a bigger swing than pure-play crypto trading, and Canada is the testing ground for what could become a global template.
