Chainlink is delivering continuous pricing for Coinbase Tokenized Stocks as its official oracle infrastructure, enabling millions of Base users to lend, borrow, and trade the largest publicly traded U.S. equities onchain.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Coinbase, the largest publicly traded digital asset exchange in the United States, has selected Chainlink as its official oracle infrastructure powering its newly launched Tokenized Stocks, unlocking utility and distribution across the Base DeFi ecosystem.

Through Chainlink Data Feeds, builders across the Base ecosystem have access to continuous pricing for Coinbase‘s tokenized stocks, including NVDAc, METAc, AAPLc, GOOGLc, and more. This data enables leading DeFi protocols, including lending markets, decentralized exchanges, and structured product platforms, to support tokenized equities as collateral, transforming tokenized equities from standalone tokens into fully composable building blocks.

Coinbase Tokenized Stocks are real equity securities issued as standard B20 tokens on Base. Each token is backed 1:1 by an underlying share held in regulated custody with Alpaca under the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) framework. With Coinbase as the issuer, Chainlink delivers the essential market data infrastructure required to unlock onchain utility and distribution across the Base ecosystem.

Tokenized equities represent one of the fastest-growing categories of real-world assets, reaching a record $2.3 billion by mid-July 2026. However, without institutional-grade market data, the utility of tokenized equities are limited to simple transfers and swaps. By selecting Chainlink as its official oracle solution, Coinbase is unlocking advanced 24/7 collateral management use cases, enabling millions of Base users to earn yield and borrow against U.S. stocks.

“Base has built one of the most vibrant DeFi ecosystems out there, and Chainlink’s oracle infra unlocks new utility for tokenized assets. With institutional-grade market data now live onchain, we’re giving millions of users access to financial primitives that, until now, were locked behind traditional gatekeepers. This is the kind of move that positions Base as the go-to chain for real-world assets.” — Antonio Garcia-Martinez, Head of Growth, Base.

“Tokenized assets only reach their full potential when the broader ecosystem can build with them across DeFi. We’re excited to see Coinbase select Chainlink as its official oracle infrastructure for Coinbase Tokenized Stocks. With Chainlink, Coinbase leverages the secure, reliable pricing data required to unlock the utility and distribution of tokenized stocks across DeFi, while accelerating the convergence of TradFi and DeFi.” — Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer, Chainlink Labs

This development marks a major milestone in the convergence of traditional capital markets and onchain finance. As one of the world’s most trusted digital asset platforms bringing equities onchain at scale, Coinbase is accelerating mainstream access to the onchain economy, with Chainlink providing the critical infrastructure required to unlock utility and distribution for tokenized stocks across DeFi.

Coinbase Tokenized Stocks are only available in eligible jurisdictions outside of the U.S.

LeanDNA Launches Demand Scenario Modeling in APEX, Replacing Spreadsheet Guesswork With Real-Time Production Feasibility

Published

47 minutes ago

August 25, 2026

New capability lets production planners test demand changes against live supply and BOM data in minutes, without exporting ERP data or risking live system records.

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LeanDNA, a leading intelligent supply chain execution platform, today announced the general availability of Demand Scenario Modeling (DSM), a new capability within its APEX platform that lets production planners, buyers, and supply chain managers instantly test demand changes against real supply and Bill of Materials (BOM) data, without spreadsheets or system risk.

When forecasts shift, most production planners still turn to spreadsheets to find out whether production can support it: exporting ERP data, flattening multi-level BOMs, and reconciling supply just to answer one question — can we build this? The process is slow, error-prone, and disconnected from real-time system data, and it often produces false shortages that obscure the actual constraints.

Demand Scenario Modeling replaces that manual exercise with what-if analysis built directly into APEX. Production planners can model a demand change and immediately see which components truly constrain production, how many units can realistically be built, and where shortage risk increases, turning a process that has historically taken hours into a workflow measured in minutes.

Because DSM runs in a sandbox environment connected to live ERP and BOM data, planners can test and compare multiple scenarios, adjust quantities and dates, and recalculate instantly, without posting temporary plans or manipulating live records to get an answer. That combination of speed and system safety is central to how LeanDNA has built the capability.

“Production planners shouldn’t have to choose between speed and safety when they’re testing a demand change,” said Andy Ellenthal, CEO of LeanDNA. “Demand Scenario Modeling gives them both: an answer in minutes, grounded in the same supply and BOM data running their factory, without ever touching a live ERP record. It replaces guesswork with a repeatable way to say yes, no, or not yet with confidence.”

Demand Scenario Modeling is available now to APEX customers and is purpose-built for the tactical-to-mid-horizon planning window — roughly one to twelve months out — where production teams most often need to turn a demand question into a production commitment.

APEX, the AI-powered expert execution platform from LeanDNA, transforms data into optimized decisions and action.
