Coinbase has significantly expanded its tokenized product offerings for non-U.S. users in 2026, moving toward an "Everything Exchange" model. These products, primarily offered through Coinbase International Exchange and Coinbase Asset Management (CBAM), leverage the Base Layer-2 network to provide 24/7 access to traditional equities, pre-IPO markets, and institutional-grade yield funds.
