Coinbase tokenized stocks in DeFi soar to $262M on Base platform
Published Updated 1 new report since it was first published
Stock-linked tokens in DeFi were estimated at $262.4 million across blockchains at the end of September, with the total up nearly 18-fold from the start of 2026. Base accounted for about $16 million of that total, rather than the full amount.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
Users and traders watching tokenized stocks can see that the market is being tracked as a broader DeFi segment now, not just as a Base-only story. The numbers suggest that attention will extend beyond one chain to the wider set of blockchains where these stock-linked tokens are deployed.
In practice, the Base platform is not the whole venue for this activity, even though it is part of it. What changes is the frame: the totals are being discussed across blockchains, while Base is one component within that larger market.
