Summary
Coinbase Canada CEO Eric Richmond confirmed the company is working to bring its "Everything Exchange" to Canadian users. The idea is to offer a single app combining crypto, stocks, ETFs, and prediction markets—with no hard launch date announced. Tokenized stocks—shares recorded on a blockchain that settle instantly and trade around the clock—are planned for non-U.S. users, including Canadians, this month, with full dividend rights included. Coinbase has a new pitch for Canada: stop thinking of the company as a crypto exchange, and start seeing it as the only financial app the country needs. Eric Richmond, CEO of Coinbase Canada, told BNN Bloomberg this week that the company is pushing its "Everything Exchange" north of the border—a single platform where crypto, stocks, ETFs (funds that track a basket of assets like the S&P 500), and prediction markets (platforms where users bet real money on the outcome of real-world events, like elections or sports results) all trade from one account.
