Coinbase is reportedly preparing to tokenize its own stock, COIN, a move that could significantly impact the $62 trillion U.S. public equities market. Analysts suggest that this initiative positions Coinbase as a leader in the tokenization of stocks in a regulated and user-friendly manner. The concept of tokenized equity is gaining traction, with suggestions that other crypto entities such as Ripple, Chainlink, Tether, and Circle should also consider Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) as tokenized equities. This shift towards tokenization is seen as a potential transformation of financial markets, with increased interest in the integration of blockchain technology into stock trading.
