Stocks can now be traded on
@base , 24/7
Until now, all of Base's DeFi has run purely on crypto assets. Stablecoins, DEXs, lending, all of it. But compared to traditional finance, crypto is still a small part of the total market
With tokenized stocks, that same DeFi infrastructure can now work on a much larger asset class. 24/7 trading, borrowing against your stocks, earning yield on top, all of it is now possible with stocks too
And anyone can do this, not just people with a brokerage account
Almost every chain is in this race now. 11 stocks have been tokenized on Base, and in just one month DEX volume has gone from nearly zero to $55-60m a day
But tokenizing and getting lasting liquidity are not the same thing
What to watch whether this volume holds, how many people are actually trading and how big the lending market gets
