Best Crypto to Buy Now: Chainlink Powers Coinbase’s…

Coinbase confirmed on August 24 that its tokenized stocks on Base — covering Nvidia, Apple, Meta and Alphabet as B20 tokens backed by real shares — now run on Chainlink Data Feeds, according to the source material. The arrangement puts Chainlink's oracle infrastructure underneath the exchange's push to bring traditional equities onchain.

Reliable pricing is the practical piece. With feeds in place, DeFi platforms can treat tokenized stocks as collateral, turning a category the source values at a record $2.3 billion into usable liquidity across Base. Chainlink supplies the pricing layer, though the LINK token trades separately from that infrastructure work.

LINK and XRP price action

LINK changed hands at $11.28 after a 12.98% weekly climb, per CoinMarketCap figures cited in the source. The commentary described a pennant near $9.75 breaking upward into support, with the $12.54 weekly high the only level standing between the token and $15, then $20. Standard Chartered's $200 target for 2030 was framed as the long-term case, supported by tokenized-asset growth. The constraint noted was scale: at an $8.5 billion market capitalisation, a move to $20 would still represent roughly a 74% gain.

XRP rose 45% over the week to $1.38, tagging $1.70 at one point, according to CoinGecko data in the source. The piece pointed to the 200-day EMA being reclaimed, with $1.34 described as a new floor and $1.70, $2.40 and $3.50 mapped as subsequent levels. JPMorgan's clearing of a Treasury fund on the XRP Ledger was presented as evidence that the rails work in practice. With a market capitalisation of about $90 billion, the source argued the asset's size limits how far it can travel in percentage terms.

The original commentary also promoted a presale token, Pepeto, tied to a team member behind Pepe, alongside the market news. Claims about that offering, including presale totals and listing expectations, could not be independently verified from the source text.

The takeaway from the news itself is narrower: two major US financial institutions — Coinbase and JPMorgan — are now running tokenized or settlement activity on public blockchain infrastructure, with Chainlink supplying part of the data layer underneath Coinbase's equity tokens on Base.
