Coinbase and Bybit are reportedly in discussions to collaborate on tokenization, custody, and global distribution of traditional financial assets, including US stocks.
According to a source familiar with the matter, the talks are focused on building infrastructure that would allow international users to access tokenized versions of US public equities and potentially pre-IPO shares. The discussions remain ongoing and do not involve any equity investment or acquisition between the two firms.
The clarification follows earlier reports suggesting a deeper partnership tied to Bybit’s entry into the US market. However, sources indicate that Bybit’s US expansion plans are separate and will involve a different local partner responsible for regulatory compliance and licensing.
Instead, the collaboration with Coinbase is said to be global in scope. Bybit’s strong presence in international markets, particularly across Asia, combined with Coinbase’s regulatory footing in the United States, could create a complementary framework for distributing tokenized financial products.
The goal is to make traditionally restricted assets more accessible. US equities remain among the most sought-after investment products worldwide, but access can be limited by regulatory, geographic, and operational barriers. Tokenization offers a potential solution by converting these assets into blockchain-based representations that can be traded more easily across borders.
The discussions also include custody solutions, a key component in ensuring that tokenized assets are securely stored and compliant with regulatory standards. By leveraging blockchain infrastructure, both companies are exploring ways to streamline how assets are issued, held, and transferred.
