Coinbase Secures UK MiFID License to Offer Derivatives and Equities

Coinbase has obtained a UK Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) investment services license, enabling retail clients to trade stocks on the platform for the first time and allowing institutional and professional clients regulated access to derivatives products. The license positions Coinbase alongside traditional investment firms under the Financial Conduct Authority's regulatory framework. Coinbase's derivatives segment reported daily trading volumes of $2.38 billion and open interest of $29.37 billion, reflecting significant institutional demand that the new authorization better positions the exchange to serve from within UK regulatory structures.
