Coinbase has launched tokenized stock products on its Base chain, allowing shares like Nvidia, Apple, Meta, and Alphabet to be used as collateral in DeFi protocols such as Aave, backed 1:1 by real stocks held under a regulated custodian in ADGM. This integration offers on-chain composability not seen in competitors, despite US user restrictions due to regulatory limits.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your fintech product just gained a new way to program real stocks as DeFi collateral on Base. US restrictions leave a gap you can exploit by targeting non-US users with composable stock tokens integrated across lending and trading protocols.
