Coinbase Now Accepting Your Stock Portfolio's ACATS — Robinhood, Is That You? 🚪
Coinbase is opening its doors to existing stock portfolios, enabling U.S. users to transfer securities directly onto the exchange through the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS). The feature, announced Tuesday, allows holdings to move between brokerages without being sold and builds on the stock and ETF trading service Coinbase launched earlier this year, which initially provided access to roughly 6,000 securities. A Coinbase spokesperson confirmed the transfer mechanism to Cointelegraph.
The expansion is delivered through Coinbase Advanced, the platform's active-trader interface, and includes zero-commission trading, TradingView charting tools, fractional shares and up to 3.5% rewards on eligible USDC (USDC) balances. The offering positions Coinbase to compete more directly with traditional brokerages and fintech platforms such as Robinhood by letting users manage stocks, ETFs and cryptocurrencies from a single account.
Tuesday's announcement also introduced a broader lineup of products, including crypto and stock options, thematic equity index perpetual futures, pre-IPO perpetuals and expanded prediction markets. Some features are available immediately, while others will roll out over the coming months. Coinbase separately launched 24/7 stock perps for non-U.S. traders.
The push beyond crypto comes as Coinbase seeks to diversify revenue streams that have historically tracked digital-asset cycles. The company posted stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter 2024 earnings, with a post-election rally driving a 130% jump in revenue. It later reported a surprise loss in the first quarter of 2026, posting a loss of $1.49 per share on $1.41 billion in revenue, missing analyst expectations of 27 cents per share on $1.52 billion in revenue, as weaker cryptocurrency prices weighed on trading activity.
