What happened.

Coinbase launched its B20 product, which puts equities such as Apple and Nvidia onchain through Base. The supplied record says the tokens use Chainlink price feeds and Alpaca custody, and that eligible non-US users can trade them around the clock and use them across DeFi.

Why it matters.

The launch is a concrete tokenization product from a major exchange, rather than only a proposal or market narrative. It also sits alongside other supplied examples of traditional assets, derivatives, and bank-distributed stablecoins moving onchain, making custody, jurisdictional limits, and DeFi composability central questions for further research.

What to watch.

The next useful receipt is product-level evidence of how the custody model, eligible jurisdictions, and DeFi use work in practice. The supplied record supports the launch and its stated features, but does not establish durable product-market fit or provide evidence about adoption.

What to watch

Watch for product-level evidence on custody, jurisdiction eligibility, and practical DeFi composability.
