Coinbase Brings Tokenized Stocks to Its Ethereum Layer-2 Network

Coinbase has made a significant move in the DeFi ecosystem by launching tokenized stocks on its Ethereum layer-2 network, Base. This feature is currently available to eligible users outside of the U.S.

The initial rollout includes major U.S. companies such as Nvidia, Meta, Apple, and Alphabet, with shares represented as tokens on the Base platform.

Aerodrome is providing immediate liquidity on a Base-native decentralized exchange (DEX), enabling on-chain depth from day one. This move expands access beyond Coinbase's interface and underscores the growing capabilities of Base's DeFi stack.
