Coinbase Taps Chainlink for Tokenized Stock Adoption

Coinbase has partnered with Chainlink to bring tokenized stocks deeper into decentralized finance (DeFi). This integration will allow shares of companies like Apple and NVIDIA to be used as collateral, liquidity, and building blocks for other protocols in DeFi.

The partnership is significant because it enables crypto users outside the US to access blockchain-based versions of US stocks. Tokenized equities have been gaining traction this year, with a market capitalization of around $1.7 billion by the end of June 2026, up from $329 million in June 2025.

Chainlink will provide reliable price feeds for Coinbase's tokenized stocks, which are currently sitting idle in wallets. This integration is expected to facilitate their use in DeFi applications.
