Coinbase's tokenized stocks exceed $1B in DEX trading volume
Summary
Coinbase's newly issued tokenized stocks have achieved over $1 billion in decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume within their first month on the Base platform. These tokenized stocks represent real shares held 1:1 by a regulated custodian, allowing for continuous trading along with built-in rights for dividends and voting. The significant trading activity also generates current transaction fees on Base, while potential future revenue sources include securities lending and a portion of DEX trading fees.
