Retail crypto users often lack access to traditional equities via blockchain. Coinbase is working to change that.
Coinbase is pursuing SEC approval to offer tokenized equities in the U.S., positioning this as a strategic priority. If approved, U.S. users could trade blockchain-based versions of stocks like COIN on an on-chain “everything exchange” model.
The company is also expanding into Real-World Assets (RWA), with plans to integrate tokenized traditional instruments—such as stocks and derivatives—into its platform, enabling institutional and retail users to access tokenized markets under one roof.
As of now, U.S.-based users cannot yet trade tokenized stocks on Coinbase, but progress in regulation—especially under Project Crypto—sets a clear legal framework for these offerings to launch in the near future
