Coinbase 🛡️ (@coinbase): Crypto Mortgages, Stock Perps, and x402 Updates: March @Coinbase

Crypto Mortgages, Stock Perps, and x402 Updates: March @Coinbase Internal scorecard: New countries unlocked on DEX: 84+ x402 buildathon minutes survived: 402 ETH staking in your brokerage: yes Houses you can buy with crypto: also yes Here’s everything we shipped last month. Platform & Product Expansion A lot more everything was added to the everything exchange this month. The American Dream received a DLC update with crypto-backed mortgages. Now you can use your Bitcoin or USDC to help you buy a home without selling your assets and incurring taxes. Stock perpetual futures launched for traders outside the US. 24/7 exposure to traditional equities, no market close, no borders. Wall Street hours were always arbitrary anyway. Crypto futures officially launched in Europe. We worked alongside regulators to bring trusted, transparent derivatives to the EU market. Compliance isn't the enemy of progress. It's the unlock. DEX trading expanded to 84+ countries, including Brazil. Say olá to direct onchain access. We introduced Coinbase Token Manager - a streamlined way for founders to manage onchain cap tables, vesting, and token distribution. Less spreadsheet chaos. More building. Coinbase Prime got a serious upgrade – sharper tooling and more sophisticated access for institutions moving into crypto. Enterprise-grade infrastructure for an enterprise-grade moment. $ETHB went live. Ring the bell because ETH staking rewards are now accessible from everyday brokerage accounts. We're updating the legacy system from the inside. AI, @Base, & Developers The pipes are getting smarter and the builders aren't slowing down. @Base dropped their 2026 Mission, Vision, and Strategy — the full roadmap for where the network is headed and what the team is building toward. If you're onchain, this is required reading. We keep shipping updates to x402. New features are making instant, frictionless micropayments across the web a reality on crypto rails. The internet was always supposed to have a native payment layer. We're helping build it. We also hosted a 402-minute buildathon focused on x402. That's 6.7 hours of building native web payments. Zero bathroom breaks. Probably. Community & Culture The vibes shipped too. We dropped "Your Way Out." Our way of showing you just how broken the legacy financial system is, and what the alternative feels like. Escape room energy, but the room is TradFi. We put some fans courtside at a @warriors game. Charts are cool, but courtside is better. Blockchain to baseline seats. Not bad. Tax season is still ongoing. We hosted a space with @CoinTracker to walk the community through the noise and bring some clarity. We can't make taxes fun. But we can make them less confusing. From crypto mortgages to courtside seats to a 402-minute coding sprint with no bathroom breaks, March didn’t leave anything on the table. See you next month.
