Coinbase Clears Hurdle for Tokenized Equities Trading

Coinbase Global has secured temporary approval from the SEC to trade tokenized US equities in the US, marking a significant step towards expanding its business into on-chain transactions and services.

The company reported over $1 billion in decentralized exchange volume for these tokenized stocks on its Base network, indicating growing traction in this area.

Analysts are divided on the impact of this development on Coinbase's investment narrative, with some seeing it as a positive catalyst while others caution against regulatory risks and muted trading activity.
