The post Dow Jones tags a record, then hides behind its dullest stocks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average spent Tuesday arriving late to a party the rest of the market had already begun to leave. The index tagged a fresh intraday record near 53,300 at the New York open around 13:30 GMT, then handed the gains straight back as a rotation out of artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductor names swept the tape. By the close it had shed more than 500 points from that high, finishing near 52,850 and down about 0.35%, which on Tuesday counted as resilience. The awkward part is that the record barely outlasted the opening auction, and it survived at all only because of the same stodgy, tech-light makeup that has made the index this year’s laggard.

The post Coinbase Secures UK License To Offer Equities And Perpetual Futures, Expanding Beyond Crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Coinbase has received a regulatory green light in the United Kingdom, according to the original report. The authorization permits the exchange to give institutional traders access to perpetual futures, while UK retail customers will be able to trade equities initially, with more traditional assets likely to follow. A Full-Service Platform Takes Shape The license signals a fundamental shift in Coinbase’s product strategy. Previously, the platform operated as a pure-play crypto exchange with a small selection of staking and custody services. Now it can act as a bridge between digital assets and regulated equity markets for British users. The equities offering will start with basic trading capability, but the infrastructure supports expansion into mutual funds, bonds, or structured products over time. That kind of multi-asset ambition has been building
