Base pushes tokenized stocks backed 1:1 by U.S. equities, offering 24/7 trading, instant settlement, automatic dividends, and DeFi composability and Beryl upgrade.

xStocks already claims $25B+ in transaction volume across 50+ integrated platforms, so Base is plugging into a live distribution war for tokenized equities. The weak link is still rights and redemption: Kraken's disclosure says holders get no voting rights or legal claim to the underlying shares, while dividends auto-reinvest into more tokens. If Base money markets accept NVDAx/AAPLx collateral, the 3 a.m. liquidation path has to survive Nasdaq being closed, issuer/custodian risk, and DeFi oracle drift at the same time.
