Coinbase is launching tokenized stocks, backed 1:1 by underlying assets to represent equity ownership with onchain utility. The exchange has also expanded into equities trading for U.S. users.
The move marks a significant pivot for the largest U.S. exchange, which is moving to capture the multi-trillion dollar tokenized real-world asset market. By wrapping traditional stocks into Ethereum tokens, Coinbase enables 24/7 trading, instant settlement, and direct integration with the broader DeFi ecosystem.
The launch follows a series of updates in the tokenized equity space, including Ondo expanding its tokenized stock catalog to over 430 assets and Uniswap listing tokenized securities across its platform. For earlier context on retail players entering this space, see Robinhood's tokenized stock launch.
