Coinbase tokenized stocks now live on Ledger hardware wallets, enabling 24/7 trading outside the U.S.
Tech & Launches ·
Coinbase's tokenized stocks are now accessible through Ledger hardware wallets, enabling trading outside regular market hours and beyond U.S. borders. This integration connects Coinbase's stock-tracking tokens with Ledger's self-custody infrastructure, allowing users to hold and transact these assets on a hardware device rather than through a centralized exchange account.
Tokenized stocks represent ownership claims on real equities, recorded on blockchain rails. By pairing them with Ledger's offline key storage, the integration gives users direct control over their holdings while maintaining 24/7 market access—a capability unavailable in traditional equity markets, which operate on fixed schedules. The arrangement extends this functionality to users outside the United States, where conventional stock market participation often faces geographic restrictions.
It remains unclear which specific equities are included in the initial rollout, how many Ledger device models support the feature, or whether additional custodial integrations are planned. Regulatory treatment of tokenized stocks across jurisdictions outside the U.S. has not been specified.
