Coinbase adds another piece to its compliance puzzle: Australian license secured, stock trading is about to run at 'crypto speed'! Today (April 8), Coinbase officially obtained the Australian Financial Services License (AFSL). This isn’t just another compliant region—it’s a game-changing move: Not only will they offer cryptocurrencies, but they’re also launching perpetual stock contracts, with futures and options next in line. Coinbase has made it clear: they’re bringing the 'settlement speed' and 'execution efficiency' of crypto assets to directly challenge traditional finance in stock trading and payments. With Australia being a key global financial market, this move will significantly boost crypto asset liquidity in the Southern Hemisphere.
