According to @StockMKTNewz, citing The Wall Street Journal, Coinbase (COIN) is launching a platform that will let individual investors buy digital tokens before those assets list on the Coinbase exchange (source: The Wall Street Journal). For trading, this introduces a pre-listing access phase around Coinbase-related token launches, enabling equity and crypto traders to track upcoming offerings, allocation terms, and listing dates to plan liquidity and execution around initial trading on Coinbase (source: The Wall Street Journal). Near term, COIN traders can watch for official details from Coinbase on eligible tokens, jurisdictional availability, and fee structure to assess the scope and timing of the rollout (source: The Wall Street Journal).

According to @EricBalchunas, there are about 19,000 private equity funds globally, which he notes is more than the number of McDonalds restaurants worldwide and roughly double the total of ETFs and mutual funds combined (source: @EricBalchunas, X, Oct 1, 2025). He adds that this scale helps explain why private equity managers are eager to democratize their holdings, as paper gains alone are insufficient without broader distribution or liquidity (source: @EricBalchunas, X, Oct 1, 2025). For traders, the source flags a structural push toward wider retail access to private-market exposures, a backdrop to monitor for product supply and investor access trends; no direct crypto-market linkage was provided by the source (source: @EricBalchunas, X, Oct 1, 2025).

According to Coinbase International Exchange, non-US perpetual futures are now available to retail traders via Coinbase Advanced and to institutions via Coinbase International Exchange, limited to eligible jurisdictions only.
