Coinbase Global is trading 4.4% up at $167.50 in pre-market action following reports that the SEC’s 2026 regulatory agenda could allow platforms to offer both crypto and traditional stock trading under a single broker license.
- The potential regulatory shift would permit unified licensing, allowing crypto-native platforms to expand their service offerings and compete more directly with traditional brokerages.
- Positive sentiment is further supported by a broader rally in the crypto market, with Bitcoin and Ethereum gaining approximately 2% since the previous close.
