Coinbase to Launch 1:1 Backed Tokenized US Stocks With Dividend Payments

Coinbase has announced plans to launch tokenized shares of US-listed companies, marking another major step in the growing convergence of traditional finance and blockchain technology. The company said the digital shares will be backed one-to-one by actual stocks, allowing investors to own real equity rather than synthetic products or derivatives.

According to the announcement, users will be able to buy, trade, hold and redeem tokenized shares directly onchain. Investors who hold the tokenized stocks will also be eligible to receive dividend payments, similar to traditional stock ownership.

Tokenized Stocks Gain Momentum Across Crypto Industry

The move comes as interest in tokenized securities continues to grow among major crypto platforms. Several exchanges and trading firms are exploring blockchain-based access to US equities, driven by demand for faster settlement and broader market accessibility.

24/7 Trading Could Transform Market Access

One of the key advantages of tokenized stocks is the potential for around-the-clock trading. Traditional stock markets operate during limited hours, while blockchain networks allow transactions to take place at any time.

The launch also comes as regulators and lawmakers continue discussions on how tokenized securities should be regulated. As the market develops, tokenized stocks are increasingly being viewed as a bridge between conventional financial markets and digital asset ecosystems.
