Coinbase rolls out tokenized stocks on Base, debuting Apple, Nvidia, Meta and Alphabet under new Abu Dhabi regulatory framework

Coinbase's launch of tokenized U.S. equities on Base under an Abu Dhabi regulatory framework signals accelerating convergence between crypto rails and public markets. If distribution scales, it could broaden access, deepen on-chain liquidity, and increase activity on Base while diversifying Coinbase's product set beyond spot/derivatives. The move also highlights intensifying regulatory arbitrage and competition for tokenized real-world assets.
