Coinbase has reached a milestone with its tokenized stocks on the Base platform, recording approximately $850 million in weekly decentralized exchange (DEX) volume. The development was shared by Token Terminal on social media, pointing to growing interest in tokenized equity markets.
The tokenized stocks on Base consist of B20 tokens, where each token represents a 1:1 beneficial claim on a U.S. share held in regulated custody and is available outside of the United States. Trading activity has been concentrated primarily on the Aerodrome platform, which has handled the majority of the volume since the launch.
The strong volume highlights increased market engagement with Coinbase's tokenized equities. This activity has also drawn attention to market expectations surrounding a potential Base token launch, though current market pricing places the odds of a launch by the end of 2026 at a low 1.9% YES.
