Coinbase Brings On-Chain Access to U.S. Stocks via Base Blockchain
Coinbase has launched tokenized versions of four U.S. technology stocks on its Base blockchain, giving eligible users outside the United States access to these assets on-chain.
The launch includes tokens tracking Nvidia, Apple, Meta, and Alphabet, all backed 1:1 by underlying shares held by Alpaca Securities, a SEC-registered broker-dealer.
Coinbase's Abu Dhabi-based on-chain entity serves as issuer for the assets, which trade 24/7 with Chainlink price feeds operating 24/5 and incorporating dividend and stock-split adjustments.
