Coinbase brings tokenized Apple and Nvidia shares to Base

JUST IN: Tokenized Apple and Nvidia shares can now be traded directly from crypto wallets on Base.
Coinbase has launched tokenized stocks on the network, with each token backed 1:1 by real shares held through regulated custodian Alpaca.
Unlike traditional shares, the tokens can interact directly with Base's onchain ecosystem, including trading, lending and other DeFi applications.
The launch pushes tokenization beyond simply replicating stock exposure by making traditional equities programmable within crypto infrastructure.
If adoption grows, tokenized stocks could become one of the biggest bridges between traditional markets and DeFi.
