This would signal the SEC\u2019s intent not to challenge the launch under current securities laws.<\/p>\n<p>Tokenized equities, digital representations of stocks traded on a blockchain, are often touted as a way to cut costs, accelerate settlement times, and enable around-the-clock trading.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the promise, they remain largely experimental in the U.S. due to gaps in regulatory clarity and limited liquidity in secondary markets.<\/p>\n<p>Grewal did not confirm whether Coinbase has formally submitted a request to the SEC or disclosed a timeline for rollout. He noted that greater certainty from regulators could finally unlock broader institutional interest in tokenized assets.<\/p>\n<h2>Shifting policy<\/h2>\n<p>Coinbase is not alone in chasing tokenized shares. Rival exchange <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/coinbase\/\">Kraken<\/a> unveiled its own version, dubbed <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/kraken-to-launch-24-7-trading-for-tokenized-us-stocks-via-solana\/\">xStocks<\/a>, last month, but only for select jurisdictions outside the U.S. due to domestic regulatory roadblocks.<\/p>\n<p>The push comes amid a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/usa-to-become-bitcoin-superpower-as-president-donald-trump-appears-by-video-at-crypto-event\/\">friendlier environment<\/a> for crypto firms under President <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> administration. This year, the SEC dropped multiple lawsuits against major exchanges, including Coinbase, and assembled a new task force to draft modern digital asset guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>For Coinbase, branching into tokenized equities represents both a fresh source of revenue and a chance to blur the lines between traditional brokerage services and DeFi. Whether U.S. regulators will embrace that vision remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coinbase is seeking permission from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch blockchain-based equities, Reuters reported on June 17, citing the exchange&#8217;s chief legal officer, Paul Grewal.
