Coinbase Plans Domestic Launch of Tokenized Stocks and On-Chain Assets

Pending SEC approval, the exchange will introduce tokenized real-world assets to U.S. users as the first step toward a phased global expansion.

Overview

  • The new offerings include tokenized U.S. equities, derivatives, prediction markets and early-stage token sales integrated into Coinbase’s core trading app.
  • Coinbase VP of product Max Branzburg says the platform will become an on-chain “everything exchange” where traditional and crypto assets trade in a single ecosystem.
  • The announcement follows the SEC’s introduction of Project Crypto to modernize securities rules for on-chain trading.
  • The U.S. debut is slated for the coming months, after which Coinbase will pursue jurisdictional clearances for a gradual international rollout.
  • The expansion positions Coinbase in direct competition with Robinhood, Gemini and Kraken in the real-world asset tokenization market.
