Coinbase has secured an Australian financial services license, bringing the cryptocurrency exchange under Australia's formal financial regulatory framework as the country formalizes oversight of crypto platforms. The license approval enables Coinbase to expand its product offerings in the region, starting with crypto and equity perpetuals trading. Following the initial perpetuals launch, Coinbase plans to introduce futures and options trading, along with stock trading services. This expansion represents a significant move into a regulated market where Australia is establishing clearer rules for cryptocurrency exchanges and digital asset platforms.
