PANews reported on January 4 that according to Cointelegraph, Base developer Jesse Pollak tweeted that Coinbase is considering offering tokenized COIN shares to US users of its Base network. Pollak said that non-US users can already obtain tokenized COIN shares through protocols such as Backed (a tokenized RWA platform). Pollak said that implementing COIN on Base is "something to be studied in the new year," adding that eventually "every asset in the world will be implemented on Base." Coinbase "has no specific plans yet" and is currently in the "exploratory phase," and the exchange is working to understand how to comply with US regulations. "We need regulatory clarity and improvements to make the on-chain platform an open platform to unlock this functionality for everyone."
