Coinbase has launched tokenized equity products on its Base blockchain network, letting users hold and trade representations of stocks like NVIDIA directly on-chain. The company selected Chainlink to supply the real-time price data that keeps those tokens accurately valued. Tokenized equities are currently the fastest-growing segment of real-world assets being moved onto blockchains.
This move puts Coinbase at the center of a new financial rail that could eventually compete with traditional brokerage infrastructure. Chainlink benefits directly as the chosen data layer, which validates its business model and expands its fee base. Investors holding COIN or LINK are now exposed to whether tokenized equities gain mainstream traction or remain a niche product.
Coinbase Q2 2025 earnings report, expected late July. Any SEC statement on the regulatory status of tokenized securities, which could come as an enforcement action or formal guidance at any point in the coming months.
