Webull has partnered with Coinbase to significantly expand its cryptocurrency operations. The key partnership began in May 2025, when Webull Pay (Webull’s payment and crypto arm) integrated Coinbase’s Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform.
This provides institutional-grade infrastructure for custody, advanced trading, USDC integration, staking, and support for a wide range of assets. The integration launched in June 2025 and has enabled Webull to: Reintroduce and enhance direct crypto trading in its main app for U.S. users including 24/7 trading for over 50 tokens like BTC, ETH, and SOL, with plans for more.
Scale to support around 101 cryptocurrencies currently, with a roadmap toward 300+. Achieve faster time-to-market, higher trading volumes, and greater product flexibility. A recent update as of March 2026 highlights this ongoing collaboration, with Coinbase’s case study noting how it powers Webull’s growth for millions of global users, including scalable solutions across geographies.

This builds on earlier expansions, such as Webull’s partnership with Coinbase Derivatives starting in late 2024 and expanded in October 2025, which added crypto futures trading for assets like Dogecoin (DOGE), Solana (SOL), XRP, Litecoin (LTC), and nano variants—offering U.S. users more ways to diversify and manage risk in fast-moving crypto markets.
These moves position Webull as a more comprehensive platform blending traditional investing (stocks, ETFs, options) with robust crypto features, leveraging Coinbase’s trusted backend to compete in the evolving fintech/crypto space.
Coinbase Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) is Coinbase’s institutional-grade infrastructure platform designed to help banks, brokerages, fintechs, payment firms, and other enterprises build and launch digital asset products without developing the complex backend themselves. It’s often compared to “AWS for crypto,” providing modular, API-driven tools for custody, trading, stablecoins, staking, and more, while allowing partners to maintain their own branding, user relationships, and front-end experience.
Launched and expanded in mid-2025 (with a major unification announcement around June 2025), CaaS unifies Coinbase’s existing infrastructure offerings into a single, scalable solution. It powers crypto features for over 200 leading institutions globally, enabling faster time-to-market, high security, regulatory compliance, and seamless scaling.
CaaS offers a comprehensive suite of “crypto primitives” via APIs and integrations, tailored to different use cases: For Brokerages and Exchanges (like Webull): Institutional-grade spot trading with multi-venue liquidity, streaming quotes, and RFQ execution. Sub-custody for client assets (secure storage with Coinbase handling the heavy lifting). Yield/staking services (earn rewards on held assets). Support for a wide range of assets (hundreds, including major tokens like BTC, ETH, SOL).
Advanced tools like derivatives, perpetuals, and tokenization in some configurations. Regulated, secure digital asset products with compliance built-in (KYC/AML, risk controls). Embedded trading and custody for client portfolios. Stablecoin infrastructure, especially USDC (Coinbase’s own stablecoin).
Real-time 24/7 settlements, fiat-to-crypto on/off-ramps, treasury management, and global payments rails. Additional common elements include: Wallet infrastructure (white-label or embedded wallets). On-chain tools and payments. High-performance APIs for spot, futures, and more. Compliance and security layers; Coinbase’s regulated status as a public company ensures audits, reporting, and controls.
Partners can launch or expand crypto offerings quickly e.g., weeks/months vs. years of in-house building. Leverages Coinbase’s battle-tested custody; cold storage, MPC options in related services, deep liquidity, and institutional experience. Avoid building and maintaining expensive infrastructure.
Single integration unlocks multiple products; partners control UX, pricing, and client data. Built for regulated environments, helping navigate global rules. Webull integration as highlighted in Coinbase’s case studies, Webull Pay uses CaaS for its crypto trading relaunch/expansion: Provides custody, advanced trading, USDC integration, staking, and broad asset support.
Enabled faster rollout, higher volumes, and plans for 300+ tokens. Supports millions of users with 24/7 trading and geographic scaling. CaaS positions Coinbase as a key enabler in bridging traditional finance and crypto, powering everything from neobroker apps to bank bitcoin offerings.
