Tokenized equities on Base

The listing follows Base's Sept. 25, 2026 notice that Coinbase Tokenized Stocks went live on Aave V4, deployed on Base, letting users borrow USDC against eligible tokenized equities. Base has spent 2026 positioning itself as a venue for real-world assets and stablecoin payments, and activated its Cobalt upgrade on mainnet on Sept. 30, 2026, adding Validity Transactions and B20 enhancements.

Base is an Ethereum Layer-2 incubated by Coinbase and built on the OP Stack. It is led by Jesse Pollak and has no native token; transactions on the network are paid in ETH.
