Coinbase is exploring the idea of offering tokenized shares of its stock, COIN, to U.S. users on its Ethereum layer-2 network, Base. Currently, these tokenized shares are available to non-U.S. users via platforms like Backed. Jesse Pollak, a Base developer, mentioned that while there are no concrete plans yet, Coinbase is in an exploratory phase, focusing on navigating U.S. regulations. The global market for tokenized real-world assets is a $30 trillion opportunity. Analysts emphasize the need for clearer U.S. regulations to boost crypto adoption, especially for tokenized securities like COIN.
