Coinbase Launches Tokenized Stocks on Base Ethereum Layer-2
Coinbase has made tokenized stocks available on its Base blockchain, with shares held in custody and tradeable in decentralized finance applications.
Coinbase's Base team announced that tokenized stocks are now live on the network for eligible users outside the United States. Each token represents a share held by Alpaca, a regulated broker and custodian, giving token holders a direct claim on the underlying share rather than a price-linked derivative.
The initial offering includes fractional shares of Apple and Nvidia, which users can hold in self-custody wallets, trade on decentralized exchange Aerodrome, or deploy as collateral on lending protocol Aave. The tokens can also be used in liquidity pools, automated portfolios, indexes, and derivatives.
The tokenized stocks use Coinbase's B20 token standard, which handles dividends and stock splits without altering token balances or disrupting decentralized finance positions. Base highlighted that tokenized stocks can trade continuously on automated market maker pools, allowing users to respond to earnings calls or market events outside traditional trading hours.
Coinbase unveiled the tokenized stocks initiative in June, with non-U.S. availability expected in July. The company said additional Coinbase-issued stocks and other real-world assets will be added in the coming weeks.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
