Coinbase tokenized stocks go live on Base with Chainlink price feeds

The significance here is less about tokenized equities as a concept and more about the distribution stack: a major exchange issuing on its own chain, with a major oracle supplying pricing. That combination addresses the two things that have stalled earlier tokenized-stock efforts — credible settlement and reliable onchain price discovery. The immediate constraint is the eligible non-US user base, which keeps this a jurisdiction-shaped experiment rather than a global product. The open question is whether these tokens develop real DeFi utility beyond trading, since that is what would separate this from prior wrapped-equity attempts.
