Coinbase Global is trading 6.3% up today at $172.50 following reports that the SEC’s 2026 regulatory agenda could enable platforms to offer both crypto and traditional stock trading under a single broker license.
- The potential regulatory shift is viewed as a major boost to the company's business model, as a unified license would streamline operations and expand service offerings.
- Sentiment is further supported by a broadly positive crypto market, with Bitcoin and Ethereum both gaining over 2% since the previous close, lifting crypto-exposed equities.
