Coinbase to Launch 1:1 Tokenized US Stocks, Adds New Token Launchpad
COIN sits 21% above its 52-week low of $139.36.
Summary
Coinbase is launching 1:1 tokenized U.S. stocks, enabling on-chain buying, trading, and automatic dividend payments. The company also added a 'Launches' tab to its exchange, providing early access to new tokens and noting upcoming pre-IPO trading for Anthropic and OpenAI. These product expansions are significant, especially following the company's recent Q1 2026 net loss and workforce reduction. The move into tokenized traditional equities could open substantial new revenue streams and attract a wider user base, diversifying its offerings beyond core crypto trading.
