Coinbase expands unified app to support trading across stocks, commodities, crypto and FX

Coinbase said its unified app now supports trading across multiple asset classes, including stocks, commodities, cryptocurrencies, Pre-IPO perpetual futures, indices and foreign exchange. The update allows users to execute different types of trades within a single platform rather than switching between separate services. Coinbase is one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges and the first publicly listed crypto trading platform in the United States. The expansion shows the company moving beyond a single-asset crypto exchange model toward a broader financial services app, while narrowing the line between traditional finance products and crypto-native trading offerings.

Traders suspect coordinated FX action after South Korea is said to have sold dollars

South Korean authorities were said to have carried out a rare dollar-selling intervention on Thursday, according to market sources, helping lift the won to its strongest level in nine months. The move came on the same day Japan intervened in New York trading by buying yen and selling dollars, pulling the Japanese currency back from a 40-year low. That timing led some traders to suspect the two countries may have acted in concert, though no official confirmation was given. The won strengthened 2% against the dollar to 1,418.0 per dollar, its strongest level since Oct. 20 last year. The currency had fallen to 1,561.50 last month, a 17-year low, but has now gained more than 8% this month and is on track for its largest monthly rise since March 2009. A South Korean Finance Ministry foreign-exchange official declined to confirm any intervention. Earlier this month, officials in Seoul and Tokyo had both said they were in close communication on FX issues, adding to market speculation around possible joint action.
