Tokenized equities move deeper into crypto platforms
The surge in activity comes as crypto platforms introduce new ways for investors to trade, hold and use tokenized equities onchain.
On Aug. 24, Coinbase’s tokenized US stocks went live on Base, allowing eligible non-US users to trade the assets around the clock and use them across decentralized finance applications. The B20 tokens include companies such as Nvidia, Apple, Meta and Alphabet and can be held in self-custody wallets.

A day later, Bitwise launched automated portfolios built from Coinbase’s tokenized stocks, allowing eligible non-US investors to follow preset strategies while keeping the underlying assets in their own wallets. The initial portfolios target the “Magnificent Seven,” robotics and artificial intelligence sectors.
Other platforms have also expanded how tokenized stocks can be used. In July, Bybit added tokenized shares of Nvidia, Apple, Tesla and other US companies as collateral for margin loans, while Robinhood-backed DEX Arcus launched more than 95 stock tokens and perpetual markets on Robinhood Chain.
