Coinbase announced on June 16, 2026 that it will introduce tokenized U.S. stocks for non‑U.S. customers in July 2026, marking the first rollout of 1‑to‑1 backed equity tokens on its platform.
Product Overview
The new offering is part of Coinbase’s “Everything Exchange” upgrade, which consolidates stocks, crypto assets, and other securities under a single login and app interface. Each token will be directly linked to one underlying share, ensuring a one‑for‑one correspondence between the digital token and the physical stock.
Investor Benefits
Token holders will obtain full shareholder rights on‑chain, including entitlement to dividend payments and voting privileges. The blockchain‑based tokens enable 24‑hour trading, the ability to lend shares for yield, and the option to use the tokens as collateral for loans. Additionally, investors can transfer tokens to another party with the ease of sending a text message, expanding the utility of traditional equities in the crypto market.
