Coinbase Brings Regulated Tokenization to Real-World Assets

p>Coinbase has expanded its services to include tokenized real-world assets on its Base blockchain. The company's new 'Coinbase Tokenize' platform allows institutional clients to bring equities and securities onto the blockchain with regulated custody and direct economic exposure.

The platform provides a range of functions, including issuance, regulated custody, lifecycle management, distribution, and trading of tokenized assets. Each token is backed 1:1 by underlying securities held in regulated, bankruptcy-remote custody.

According to Coinbase, the platform operates on the Base blockchain and supports both permissioned and permissionless functionality, offering onchain settlement and integration with DeFi protocols.
