Coinbase Global Inc. has submitted a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking regulatory approval to launch a service that would allow U.S. investors to trade stocks with leverage 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without the need to actually own the shares. The application, as reported by Bloomberg Crypto, aims to bring the trading structures popular in the cryptocurrency market—such as perpetual contracts—to traditional financial markets. If approved, the service would let investors place leveraged bets on stock prices at any time, a departure from standard market hours. This move is a key step for Coinbase in applying crypto trading models to traditional assets like stocks.
Coinbase Global Inc. has filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) asking for approval to offer a service that would let U.S. investors trade stocks with leverage 24/7 without actually holding the underlying shares. Bloomberg Crypto first reported the move. The idea is to bring trading tools that took off in crypto markets—like perpetual swaps—into traditional equity trading.
If the SEC signs off, Coinbase would let investors place leveraged bets on stock prices at any hour of the day. Big shift. It would break from standard market hours and the usual settlement setup. And the filing marks a step for Coinbase as it tries to apply crypto trading models, including perpetual contracts, to traditional assets such as stocks.
