First of all, what has been inconvenient so far?
The world of virtual currencies and blockchains can feel a bit far away. For example, if you want to trade stocks, you have to go to a bank or securities company to complete the necessary procedures, or you have to wait several days for an international transfer, and many people have probably given up because of the high fees. The traditional financial system is controlled entirely by a central institution, so it's like a bank teller with a long line. This results in long wait times and high costs.
In particular, "prediction markets" that predict and bet on future events, and systems that allow easy buying and selling of stocks through digitalization, have high regulatory barriers and are difficult for the general public to use. For example,In the past, this was only possible on offshore platforms.There are so many documents, and they tend to be avoided due to reliability and legal issues. It can be a hassle to research documents such as white papers. In such cases, it is convenient to leave the document creation to AI.GammaTry using it to quickly create a summary document.
Even elementary school students can understand! This evolution's key points

Simply put, Coinbase's new features are a "marketplace where future events are predicted and traded" and "make stocks portable like digital toys." A prediction market is like a game where people bet money on questions like, "Who will win next year's election?" Tokenized stocks turn stock certificates into digital chips on the blockchain, allowing them to be bought and sold 24 hours a day. It's as easy as buying a drink from a vending machine!
This is made possible by blockchain technology, a "magic notebook shared by everyone." Since anyone can check what's written, cheating is difficult and it's secure. Coinbase provides this in a regulated manner, so it gives you a different level of security. In technical terms, it uses DeFi (decentralized finance: a monetary system that doesn't require banks) and L2 (Layer 2: speeds up processing like a highway that avoids traffic jams), but the bottom line is that it's "faster, cheaper, with less effort."
▼How will this change things?
| Item | Current system (traditional finance) | This technology (new feature of Coinbase) |
|---|---|---|
| Speed of transactions | Market hours are limited and take from a few hours to a few days | 24-hour instant trading available |
| Costs/Fees | Brokerage fees are high,It may take a few percent | Blockchain allows for low costs, even below 0.1% |
| Ease of access | KYC (identity verification) is strict and location limited | Access from around the world with one app |
| Reliability of prediction markets | Many are unregulated and risky | Regulatory compliance for peace of mindAccurate with Kalshi integration |

But with Coinbase's tokenized stocks, you can buy and sell at any time on your smartphone. It's as easy as going to a convenience store late at night.Don't miss out on global opportunitiesNext, creators.
