Chainlink Enables Coinbase Tokenized Stocks as DeFi Collateral on Base
Chainlink (LINK)
CoinGape.com reports that Chainlink is enabling Coinbase Tokenized Stocks to function as collateral across DeFi protocols on Base. This integration extends tokenized U.S. equities beyond trading into lending, borrowing, and other on-chain financial applications. Chainlink provides the pricing infrastructure via Data Feeds, allowing applications to access continuous market prices for tokens like NVDAc, METAc, AAPLc, and GOOGLc. Lending protocols use this reliable price data to determine borrowing limits and manage liquidations when collateral values fall. Coinbase issues these assets as B20 tokens on Base, representing exposure to underlying publicly traded U.S. equities. The development allows holders to access liquidity without immediately selling their assets by depositing them into supported lending protocols. This expands the utility of tokenized stocks from simple holding or trading to active building blocks within the Base DeFi ecosystem.

This short-term bullish signal contrasts with the 24-hour buy ratio of 49.3% and a negative volume delta of -$533,480, suggesting that longer-term selling pressure has dominated the day. The 4-hour metrics show a stronger buy ratio of 54.0% and a positive volume delta of $246,923, implying that buying interest is building in the intermediate term. While the 24-hour CVD is negative at -$800,271, the recent shift to positive deltas in the 1-hour and 4-hour windows suggests a potential reversal of the day's downtrend.
