Uniswap has surpassed $300 million in cumulative tokenized-equity trading volume on Base, extending the rapid buildout of decentralized markets around Coinbase-issued stocks on the Ethereum Layer 2. The milestone measures gross trading volume processed through Uniswap rather than $300 million of new capital or liquidity deposited into the protocol. Uniswap described the threshold as “still day one,” signaling that it views tokenized equities as an early-stage market despite the accelerating turnover.
Base launched Coinbase-issued tokenized stocks in August for eligible users outside the United States, initially including equities such as Apple, Nvidia, Meta and Alphabet. The B20 tokens are backed 1:1 by corresponding shares held in regulated custody and can move through compatible on-chain applications, giving them utility beyond a conventional brokerage interface. SatoshiPick previously examined the launch of Coinbase tokenized stocks on Base and the Chainlink pricing infrastructure supporting their use across DeFi.

Base Trading Expands Beyond a Single DEX
Uniswap’s $300 million milestone does not make it the only major tokenized-equity venue on Base. An earlier 30-day Token Terminal snapshot showed approximately $562.7 million in network-wide tokenized-stock DEX volume, with Aerodrome handling about $402.8 million and Uniswap v3 and v4 contributing approximately $156.4 million. That earlier distribution showed liquidity concentrated across two major venues rather than exclusively on Uniswap. The market has continued evolving since that snapshot, making the new $300 million cumulative Uniswap figure a separate measurement rather than a direct replacement for the earlier 30-day total. Base’s prior $562.7 million tokenized-stock volume provides context for that venue split.
The broader tokenized-equity sector has also been generating increasingly large DEX turnover. Token Terminal data captured in early September showed about $14.1 billion in 90-day trading volume across the tracked market, with Uniswap at $6.6 billion, PancakeSwap at $5.5 billion and Raydium at $2.0 billion. Those figures are historical rolling-window snapshots and should not be treated as current cumulative totals, but they demonstrate that on-chain equity trading is already distributed across several networks and execution venues.
Raydium provides another example of that expansion. The Solana DEX crossed $3 billion in cumulative tokenized-equity volume on June 27 after taking almost a year to reach its first $2 billion and roughly one additional month to add the next $1 billion. The acceleration illustrated rising turnover on Solana, but cumulative volume does not establish an equivalent amount of unique capital or long-term investor demand. The same assets and liquidity can trade repeatedly, increasing gross volume without proportional growth in holdings or users.
Tokenized Equities Move From Issuance Toward DeFi Use
The more consequential development is that tokenized stocks are increasingly moving beyond simple issuance. Binance Research found that tokenized-equity DeFi TVL increased from $21.6 million at the beginning of 2026 to $289.1 million by September 9, with most deployed capital sitting in liquidity pools and lending markets. That distinction separates assets merely existing on-chain from assets being actively used in financial applications. Trading activity has also grown considerably faster than the underlying tokenized-equity market capitalization, increasing the importance of liquidity retention and repeat usage when assessing adoption.
Uniswap has already demonstrated how quickly new distribution channels can generate turnover on other networks. Its deployment on Robinhood Chain surpassed $10 billion in total protocol volume during the network’s first month, although that figure covered all Uniswap activity rather than tokenized stocks alone. The comparison shows the scale that established DEX infrastructure can reach while also reinforcing the need to separate total protocol volume from asset-specific trading. SatoshiPick tracked that Uniswap Robinhood Chain volume milestone as liquidity expanded across the new network.
The next meaningful milestone on Base is therefore not simply another cumulative-volume threshold. Sustained tokenized-equity liquidity, repeat trading, holder growth, lending utilization and activity across multiple stocks will provide stronger evidence of durable adoption than gross turnover alone. For now, the confirmed development is that Uniswap has processed more than $300 million in tokenized-equity trades on Base, adding another active venue to an on-chain stock market that is increasingly competing across Base, Solana, Robinhood Chain and other blockchain environments.
