Coinbase is launching an 'Everything Exchange' in Canada combining crypto, stocks, ETFs, and prediction markets after registering in 2024, and expanding its Singapore team from 150 to 200 employees by end-2026 following MAS payment institution licensing in 2023.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building a fintech app in Canada for retail investors, Coinbase just moved into your lane with regulatory blessing and 24/7 trading. Your defensibility is no longer the product—it's the customer base you own before they switch.
