Branzburg also announced a partnership with Kalshi for prediction markets, which begins today for select international users, with U.S. availability planned later.
Perpetual futures for stocks will follow early next year, and will be initially available outside the U.S.
The move positions Coinbase to compete more directly with popular retail broker Robinhood and diversify revenue beyond crypto amid market volatility.
