Coinbase Brings Tokenized Equities to Base Blockchain

Coinbase has launched tokenized stocks on its Base network, allowing global traders to access major U.S. equities.

The platform's initial selection includes shares from Apple (no ticker mentioned), Nvidia (NVDA), Meta (not explicitly stated which Meta is referred to), and Alphabet (GOOGL).

Access to these digital securities is restricted to qualified international investors, with each token representing a 1:1 claim on actual shares custodied by Alpaca Securities.

Coinbase leverages its proprietary B20 protocol to create tokens directly on Base, its secondary-layer blockchain solution. Chainlink oracles deliver real-time pricing feeds, enabling DeFi integration across lending and exchange platforms.
