Coinbase's Layer 2 network, Base, core developer, Jesse Pollak, has hinted at the possibility of "tokenized COIN shares, and access for US users" via a thread on his personal handle. Currently, tokenized COIN shares are available to non-US users through protocols like tokenized real-world asset (RWA) platform, Backed. If implemented, this move would provide a more accessible and efficient way for US users to participate in the Coinbase ecosystem. However, it also raises regulatory concerns, as the SEC has not provided clear guidance on the legality of tokenized securities. Despite the uncertainties, Coinbase's exploration of tokenized COIN shares signals the growing interest in tokenizing real-world assets. This trend could have significant implications for the future of the financial industry, enabling greater accessibility, liquidity, and transparency in traditional asset classes.
