Tokenized stocks are now live on Base – issued by Coinbase and available to eligible non-US users. Programmable equities change what finance can do. For the first time, equities are programmable, composable, and available onchain.

But it’s still early. Once equities work as native onchain assets, the design space opens up fast, and most of it is still unbuilt. The next wave of crypto-native and fintech builders will shape better financial primitives and unlock entirely new use cases.

We’re excited to back the teams building it.

Neobrokerages

Tokenized stocks make it possible to build new brokerage experiences for users who have historically had little or no access to US markets. In many emerging markets, access has been limited by high fees, weak infrastructure, and products that were never designed for local users. We think the opportunity here goes beyond simply putting stocks onchain.

Builders could combine tokenized stocks with fiat onramps and local stablecoins, so a user moves between them without ever thinking about the plumbing underneath. Ownership should feel simple and frictionless.

Personalized Index Creation

Tokenized stocks unlock a new kind of portfolio construction by combining two things that have not really existed together before. First, single-name, composable stocks with deep underlying liquidity. Second, intelligent interfaces powered by AI.

That combination makes it possible to understand and manage highly specific preferences at the individual level. Users should be able to express exactly what they want exposure to and what they do not, and have that translated into a portfolio that is fast, programmatic, and cost-efficient. That was difficult to do with traditional offchain index managers, which usually need scale to make the economics work. As a result, they tend to optimize for broad products, not personal ones. Tokenized stocks open the door to more personalized portfolio construction.

Gifting and Rewards

We already move value between people all the time through gifts, rewards, referrals, and incentives. Tokenized stocks open new use cases for those transfers because the value being shared can be programmable rather than static:

- Personal: new ways to structure gifts of investments to friends and family, including time-locked structures. 

- Corporate: a new tool for loyalty and retention, where businesses can distribute ownership directly to customers instead of relying on cash or points. This can power rewards, referrals, cashback, and other programs that strengthen the customer relationship over time.

Yield Stripping and Credit on Productive Assets

Some tokenized stocks may have yield-generating mechanics associated with them. That makes them productive assets, and productive assets create a much larger design space.

When an asset produces income, builders can create new ways to separate the principal from the yield, or trade them independently. That opens up products for users who want income, price exposure, or upfront liquidity.

That also changes what credit can look like. Once assets are productive, lending can become more dynamic too. We’re interested in lending models that take future yield into account, including self-repaying structures and other borrow products built around assets that keep generating value over time. There is design space for more composable products on top of this, in combination with derivatives, perps, options, and other structures that blend price exposure with yield generation to create new payoffs and lending primitives.

Memes and Agents

Tokenized stocks can bring crypto-native mechanics to equities, opening up a new class of market participants and products. A good example is memestocks: tokens that trade on attention the way a memecoin does, linked to an underlying equity. Once equities are programmable, they can be combined with memes, agents, and prediction markets to create entirely new kinds of products.

Memestocks can do more than mirror traditional stocks. They can create direct linkages between memes and stocks, such as liquidity pairs that tie a meme token and an equity token together, or trading mechanisms that route fees into purchases of the underlying stock. They can also help bottom-up communities bootstrap interest in small- and mid-cap names, giving retail a way to coordinate around companies and build support organically.

Once crypto, stocks, meme tokens, prediction markets, and agent-managed portfolios all live onchain, builders can create novel hybrids across asset classes: conditional markets on tokenized stocks, or futarchy-style decision markets for real corporations. Agents with wallets can allocate into tokenized stocks on their own, turning the token into exposure to a live portfolio as it accrues value. In that world, retail participation gets new mechanisms to coordinate, signal preference, and interact with markets.

Base exists to bring the world’s economy onchain: a new financial system where any asset can be traded, borrowed against, and available globally, 24/7. This week, we took a big step towards that vision as tokenized stocks issued by Coinbase, built on the B20 standard, are now live natively on Base. These are real shares, held 1:1 by a regulated custodian, owned outright by whoever holds the token.

Billions of dollars of traditional assets have already moved onchain, from fiat to treasuries, because the technology is faster and cheaper. Stocks are next. Users can now hold tokenized, fractional shares of companies like Apple and NVIDIA directly in their self-custody wallets, access deep liquidity on Aerodrome, and use them across the Base DeFi ecosystem. That opens up new opportunities for builders.

Why This Matters for Builders

A chain is only as useful as the assets that live on it.

For a decade the best assets onchain were crypto-native, so what you could build was mostly limited to crypto. Now household-name equities are here too, and they can be integrated into the same financial rails builders already use. Here are some of the things this opens up:

- New products, new customers. You can build things that weren’t possible with only crypto assets, like an app where someone holds Apple next to their stablecoins and borrows against it. And you can serve people who want stocks rather than crypto, reaching a much larger global market.

- Better raw material for DeFi. Stocks bring yield: they pay dividends, and lending shares to other investors is one of the oldest and largest yield businesses in finance, with trillions of dollars of stock on loan at any time. Stocks can also be better collateral for securing loans, powered by Aave on Base. This significantly widens the product set that lending protocols can serve.

- Your work compounds. Because these are standard tokens on Base, what you build plugs into what everyone else builds. A stock in a DEX pool can be borrowed against in a lending market, and that position can sit inside a structured product someone else runs. And this is only the first wave. More stocks are coming so what you build now is set up for every asset that follows.

- Whole industries are moving onchain. The large businesses of traditional finance are moving onchain: market making, stock lending, margin and credit, indexing, derivatives, and more. Every business built on TradFi rails is up for grabs onchain.

- What no one has built yet. Agents are becoming paying customers on Base. Programmable, always-on tokenized stocks are a new primitive for the agentic economy, and what gets built with them is still wide open. Teams like Virtuals and Treasures are already wiring tokenized assets into agentic trading.

If you’re looking for funding, the Base Ecosystem Fund is backing teams in these areas, from portfolio-backed credit to new onchain markets (Request for Builders).

The Base Ecosystem Showed up for Day One

We’re launching alongside a deep ecosystem of builders. Everything that makes a stock accessible and useful onchain is live on Base today. The following third-party protocols and services have publicly announced support for the B20 standard.

Third-party incentive programs from participating protocols may be available around the ecosystem covering trading, liquidity, and other incentives. A list of venues and contract addresses is at base.org/stocks.

Why Stocks Are Better on Base

A Coinbase Tokenized Stock is a real share that you actually own, onchain. Authorized participants, which are institutional market makers, buy the shares. Those shares go to Alpaca, a regulated broker and custodian, in a bankruptcy-remote structure supervised by Abu Dhabi Global Market’s (ADGM) regulatory authority. If you hold the token, you hold a direct claim on the share. Coinbase Tokenized Stocks are the real deal.

For a user that means:

- Globally accessible: Non-US users in eligible jurisdictions with an internet connection and a wallet can get exposure to leading US stocks without a brokerage account, local market access, or settlement delays.

- Available 24/7: Markets shouldn’t sleep. Tokenized stocks can trade across always-on AMM pools, so users can react to an earnings call at 3am, a macro event, or weekend news, instead of trading hours designed for a pre-internet era.

- Built for DeFi: Traditional stocks sit idle in a brokerage account. On Base, they become liquid, programmable building blocks. Use your tokenized NVIDIA stock as collateral for an onchain loan on Aave, supply Apple to a decentralized exchange to earn yield, or build automated trading strategies.

Once minted, these are standard B20 tokens: hold, transfer, and trade, with no whitelisted wallets and no platform lock-in. B20 extends the ERC-20 standard, so they already work with the wallets, routers, and protocols you run today. Dividends and splits are handled by an onchain multiplier, so balances never change and DeFi positions don’t break. Full integration details are in the technical docs.

This Is Just the Beginning

We’ve seen this before. In September 2018, Coinbase and Circle launched USDC. To many, it felt inevitable that the world would want a dollar that was global, programmable, and onchain, and it was: stablecoins have grown to hundreds of billions in market cap, they move trillions a year, and financial institutions around the world now use them.

Tokenized stocks bring the same properties onchain – global access, 24/7 trading, and full composability across DeFi – capabilities not possible with a traditional share.

The best assets in the world are coming onchain, and they are coming to Base, because this is where the liquidity, the users, and the builders already are. More Coinbase tokenized stocks will land over the coming weeks, and other real-world assets are also coming to Base soon. 

The financial system is being rebuilt onchain, and the builders on Base are the ones making it happen. To get started go to base.org/stocks.

Let’s build.

At Base, our goal is to build the secure, trusted infrastructure for global finance: an economy that runs 24/7 with deep liquidity to power any transaction at scale. But infrastructure is only as powerful as the applications built on top of it. It is the entrepreneurs and founders, the builders creating real-world use cases, who ultimately make the difference.

The Base Ecosystem Fund exists to find and enable these exceptional builders. We provide pre-seed and seed-stage capital, combined with dedicated, hands-on support from the Base team, to give the best founders the resources they need to succeed.

Our High-Conviction Focus: Global Onchain Finance

The Base Ecosystem Fund believes that global finance is the defining, killer use case for blockchains. This spans the full spectrum of financial activity, including payments, stablecoins, credit, trading, tokenization, derivatives, prediction markets, agents, and more.

Rather than keep our theses behind closed doors, we are sharing the active areas we are most excited about right now. These represent the specific ideas we want to see emerge, scale, and fundamentally grow within the Base economy.

Tokenization

Alternative Yield-Bearing Assets

As tokenization proliferates and asset coverage expands, we are particularly excited about bringing productive, yield-bearing assets onchain. This includes short-duration working capital instruments such as stablecoin pre-funding, invoice financing, trade finance, and revenue-based financing, as well as longer-duration assets such as REITs, royalties, licensing income, and private credit funds. Delivery models can span from wrapped off-chain funds and native onchain issuance to stablecoin vaults that deploy into targeted opportunities. What matters most is partnering with deep domain experts who possess the vertical-specific underwriting capabilities to originate and manage these assets responsibly. These alternative assets introduce genuinely uncorrelated, productive yield for holders while unlocking the full structural benefits of composability, liquidity, and distribution.

Tokenized Portfolios as Collateral

Most brokerages offer margin lending, but far fewer offer Securities-Backed Lines of Credit (SBLOCs). This is because many brokerages aren't banks, and funding loans at scale is expensive, making SBLOCs historically a high-net-worth product. This leaves tens of millions of everyday brokerage users with no access to non-margin credit against assets they already own. Tokenizing these portfolios and moving them onchain bypasses those traditional hurdles. With programmatic credit drawn against customer holdings via DeFi lending protocols, we can remove the balance sheet constraints that have historically made SBLOCs uneconomical at scale. The ideal model is B2B2C: an end-to-end solution handling everything from asset tokenization to credit deployment, giving brokerages a way to embed credit they couldn't otherwise fund, and giving their customers liquidity they've never had access to before.

Stablecoins & Emerging Markets

Stablecoin Distribution in Cash-Centric Emerging Markets

In under-financialized emerging markets with de jure or de facto dollarization – such as Argentina, Cambodia, Ecuador, Lebanon, and Venezuela – the US dollar serves as the primary unit of account for capital. Yet, this wealth remains structurally trapped in physical cash with little to no access to yield or credit. A large opportunity exists to make this capital productive by connecting local physical cash networks to stablecoins. By meeting end users where they are and building directly on existing cash-centric behaviors, these distribution networks can serve as a highly defensible wedge to leapfrog subpar legacy banking solutions with direct flows between paper currency and stablecoins, setting the stage for frictionless access to noncustodial yield and financial services.

Local Stablecoins

Despite the dominance of USD stablecoins today, there remains a large opportunity to drive adoption of local stablecoins as first-class assets. Many local fiat rails remain slow, costly, and, in some jurisdictions, subject to burdensome taxes. Savers who prefer to hold local currency are typically locked out of competitive rates unless they hold large balances at traditional banks. Enterprises and merchants operating in corridors where sender and recipient share the same currency face unnecessary FX intermediation steps, and merchants remain dependent on third-party payment solutions. Moreover, tokenizing local assets remains highly constrained until the corresponding local currency liquidity exists onchain. Local stablecoins address this by enabling faster, cheaper onchain payments that can pass yield directly to end users while allowing merchants to settle natively. They also eliminate FX friction by enabling direct currency pairs and serving as the essential quote pair for tokenized local assets.

Credit

Unsecured Consumer Credit

Punitively high costs of capital and rigid legacy underwriting metrics continue to lock millions out of the global credit market. Unlocking broader access and lowering the cost to borrow requires a shift from basic credit scoring to a comprehensive, verifiable, multi-signal underwriting framework. Utilizing zkTLS enables secure verification of offchain data – such as salary, bank accounts, and assets – to be paired alongside onchain collateralized credit histories. To scale safely, this stack can integrate localized collections partnerships and legal or credit-reporting recourse. Capitalizing on this market means building the underlying underwriting engine and capital aggregation infrastructure to sell into existing wallets, fintechs, and neobanks, meeting users where they already transact to structurally drive down capital costs across the board.

Multi-Party Credit

Merging multiple credit histories into a single, unified profile unlocks massive, historically untapped lending opportunities like intra-family lending and remittance-backed credit. By leveraging smart contract vaults, stablecoins, and zkTLS, lenders can make multi-party underwriting automated, secure, and frictionless. This enables them to safely service lower-credit borrowers by enforcing joint recourse through a high-credit guarantor, such as a parent backing an entrepreneur or an international remittance sender backing a local recipient. To make this a reality, we are looking for teams building the infrastructure and consumer applications for merged-profile credit rails, multi-party debt, and programmable shared recourse.

Prediction Markets

Conditional Asset Markets

Conditional asset markets have the potential to achieve significant scale by enabling the trading of state-contingent outcomes, where participants trade positions across potential future states, with only one market realized upon settlement. By isolating how specific events impact particular assets, this mechanism enables precise hedging across liquid assets of all kinds, rather than forcing investors to speculate on raw event probabilities. Crucially, this structure produces highly valuable information, revealing exactly how the market values the future of those assets across different circumstances.

Verticalized Prediction Markets

Verticalized prediction markets represent the move beyond generic platforms toward domain-specific information and execution hubs. While this shift to date has largely been concentrated in sports, other sectors remain underdeveloped. We see strong potential in dedicated platforms for politics, where real-time data and social mechanics can improve forecasting accuracy; culture & media, where embedded tools can turn passive audiences into financially engaged participants; institutional risk & insurance, where programmatic hedging can help underwriters manage tail risks through market-driven pricing; and clinical trials, where specialists use market mechanisms to surface the most effective therapies and techniques. By attracting domain-specific market participants, these venues can achieve a quality of price discovery that generalist platforms cannot replicate.

Legacy & Institutional Markets

Foreign Exchange Markets

Traditional FX markets heavily favor large institutional players, leaving cross-border enterprises and SMEs to face high costs, opaque pricing, and restrictive capital requirements when trading major, minor, or exotic currency pairs. Using programmable rails, stablecoins, and derivatives, the status quo can be disrupted by rebuilding the entire suite of global currency markets. These can span spot, forwards, NDFs, futures, and options – all natively onchain. Creating 24/7 liquid FX markets can enable advanced, composable use cases built directly on top, such as seamless and accessible hedging and structured cross-currency products.

Onchain Bilateral Agreements

Traditional bilateral OTC agreements, including repos, total return swaps (TRS), and credit default swaps (CDS), are vital for institutional funding and risk transfer, but private execution breeds opacity, friction, and counterparty risk. Onchain bilateral agreements transform this model by recording contract terms, collateral, and lifecycle events on a shared ledger to enable real-time transparency and programmability. To ensure these digital contracts are structured for integration into existing legal frameworks and eventual regulatory standardization, an orchestration protocol can facilitate agreements via smart contracts on a permissionless rail, bypassing public DeFi's shared liquidity risks while keeping structures easy to underwrite, audit, and legally validate. Ultimately, this offers a transparent alternative to legacy infrastructure, creating a compliant pathway to migrate institutional-grade instruments onchain without sacrificing established risk frameworks or legal certainty.

Agentic Commerce

Agents for Everyday Commerce

As agent infrastructure outpaces real consumer use cases, the open problem is shifting from building agents to making them compelling enough for everyday consumers to actually rely on. There is a large opportunity in agents that take user intent and see it through to a completed transaction, rather than bolting AI on to existing commerce flows. Areas with potential for disruption include agentic shopping and checkout, booking and reservation assistants, event ticket purchasing, and coupon and discount agents. We are looking for founders building in these segments that can translate consumer demand into stablecoin and ERC-7496 / onchain checkout volumes.

SKU Tokenization

Today, merchant catalogues live in fragmented, proprietary Web2 databases, siloed and inaccessible to AI agents, fundamentally constraining agentic commerce. SKU Tokenization solves this by migrating catalogue inventory onchain as composable, programmable assets, making products universally discoverable across any wallet, aggregator, or distribution channel. This gives any agent the lowest friction path to find, evaluate, and purchase in a single atomic flow. Beyond discoverability, liquid onchain markets for tokenized SKUs unlock a new commercial primitive: the separation of selling from delivery. Merchants can sell inventory before demand materializes. Market makers (i.e., resellers) can intermediate supply. And end users can redeem purchased assets for physical delivery on their own timeline. Static product inventory becomes a tradeable, liquid asset class.

Get in Touch

While these are some of our current areas of interest, we know the strongest signal ultimately comes from high-quality founders and where they see the most significant opportunities.

Base Batches is a high-intensity accelerator designed to help the top Base builders launch and scale their startups.

Base Batches 001 started as an extended hackathon with a virtual livestreamed demo day, with the breakout app Noice taking down the top prize. Batches 002 was split into two tracks. The Builder Track consisted of a hackathon for early stage builders with a virtual support program for the top 50 teams. The Startup Track was designed for more mature teams who were actively fundraising, and Base flew 50 teams from all over the world to a live demo day as part of Devconnect in Buenos Aires. This culminated in several success stories including Charms.ai, Glider, and our overall winner Upshot going on to complete successful raises and product launches.

Like the startups in each cohort, Batches itself has evolved. Founders told us what they needed most: targeted support, and above all else, help raising. 

Therefore, Base Batches 003 featured an accelerator program with dedicated mentorship, geared towards driving funding outcomes for participating teams via a Demo Day, with many teams ultimately receiving direct investments from the Base Ecosystem Fund.

The Base Batches 003 Selection Process 

When Base Batches 003 opened applications in February, we were blown away that 1,175 teams applied. That is a 63% increase in applications from Base Batches 002, and the clearest signal yet that builders are choosing Base as the place to ship.

From those 1,175 teams, our team manually reviewed each application ultimately selecting ~120 teams who moved onto the interview stage based on a few core factors including: founder-market fit, Base-alignment, and traction. 

Each of these 120 teams were then scheduled for short 15-minute interviews with questions that assessed the teams on (among other things):

- Clarity: Can the team clearly describe the problem their product solves? 

- Demonstrated mastery: What unique, proprietary insight(s) do they have for their market?

- Velocity: How frequently do they ship products and test growth strategies?

- Founder-Market Fit: What distinct backgrounds do the founders have that make them suited to win in their market? 

And finally, our team with direct input from the Base Ecosystem Fund selected the 12 teams that participated in the Base Batches 003 cohort. These teams were concentrated in the verticals that have established Product-Market Fit in the industry: stablecoins, prediction markets, DeFi, and AI, with a few teams building directly with the x402 protocol.

The Base Batches 003 cohort directly aligns with Base’s updated Mission, Vision, Strategy for 2026 focusing on trading, payments, and ultimately teams building the apps and protocols that will grow the onchain economy and Base’s ecosystem.

And for the teams that weren’t selected: accelerator selections are a puzzle of numbers, diversity of sectors, and stage-specific constraints. They are not a verdict on your potential. Some of the most resilient protocols in crypto were built in the “quiet” periods, away from the spotlights and the hype cycles. So make sure to register your app, adopt Builder Codes to track your growth, and keep shipping.

What’s Ahead

Base Batches 003 was a seven-week virtual program that ran from April 6th to May 19th, consisting of:

- Weekly keynote sessions from top founders 

- Dedicated mentorship with experts from both within Coinbase and externally 

- Perks program from our partners including Venice, AWS, FailSafe, Alchemy, Coinbase Developer Platform, and Coinbase Business

- Product design roast sessions by Airfoil

- Weekly open office hours held by key Base leaders from across our engineering, product, GTM, and Base Ecosystem Fund

- Demo Day practice sessions and roasts

And the program concluded with a live Demo Day in SF on May 19th, where each team had two minutes to present their company to an audience of investors as they looked to close their round and scale their business (watch part 1 of pitches, watch part 2 of pitches).

Twelve teams spent seven weeks shipping harder than they ever have before. And now, they have advisors in their corner, a network of Base founders behind them, and a clear path in front of them.

This cohort represents the cutting edge of the onchain economy and will define the future of Base in 2026.

Today's our initial deadline for @ycombinator's Summer 2026 batch.
