Coinbase has introduced tokenized stocks on the Base blockchain, utilizing Chainlink price feeds to provide real-time market data. This new offering allows eligible non-US users to trade shares of companies like Apple and Nvidia around the clock, a significant shift from traditional stock market hours.
According to CoinTelegraph, Coinbase’s B20 equities bring these popular stocks onchain, enabling users not only to trade continuously but also to integrate these assets within decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. This innovation merges traditional equities with blockchain technology, expanding trading and investment possibilities beyond conventional frameworks.
For Japanese investors, this development reflects growing global trends in tokenized assets and DeFi integration, potentially influencing local market participation and regulatory considerations as blockchain adoption advances in the region.
