Jesse Pollak Invites Tokenized Non-US Equities to Build on Base

Jesse Pollak, who leads base, issued an open call on 2026-09-13 asking teams tokenizing non-US equities and stocks to contact him about building on the Coinbase-incubated Layer-2 network. Pollak said he wants to help such teams and invited followers to reach out directly or tag anyone they know working on the effort, framing it around global capital markets.

The message points to a slice of the tokenization market distinct from US equity products, which have drawn most of the attention from crypto and brokerage platforms so far. Base has been signaling interest in tokenized assets more broadly: on 2026-09-10, base amplified remarks describing the B20 token standard as an ERC-20 continuation built for tokenized assets, and framing Coinbase Tokenized Stocks as a route to onchain share ownership.

What Base Is

Base is an Ethereum Layer-2 network built on the OP Stack and incubated by Coinbase. It has no native token — transactions are paid in ETH — and the network has positioned itself around consumer apps, DeFi, payments and onchain finance.

The post did not name specific teams, markets or timelines. Pollak's phrasing suggests an intake-style outreach rather than a formal program, with no details yet on onboarding terms, standards or which jurisdictions' equities would be targeted first.

What to Watch

Whether tokenization teams respond publicly, and whether Base follows with formal support — such as technical standards, listings or liquidity venues — for non-US equity assets. Base's prior tokenized-asset messaging has centered on Coinbase-issued products, so any expansion to third-party non-US equities would mark a broader approach to global capital markets.
