How do you buy tokenized stocks on Base?
One way is Catch: send USDC on Base to the address Catch shows under Add money, then buy a Coinbase stock token such as NVDAc, Coinbase's Nvidia token, 24/7, for 0.50% once per move, $0.10 minimum. The tokens are issued by Coinbase, not Catch, and Coinbase says they are not available to persons in the US and other restricted places.

What you are buying
Coinbase issues its stock tokens on Base, and Catch lists 17 of them, such as NVDAc. Coinbase describes each of its tokens on Base as a beneficial claim on an underlying share, held 1:1 in regulated, bankruptcy-remote custody separate from Coinbase.
Catch has no trading hours, and Coinbase says the tokens trade around the clock, including market holidays. While US markets are closed there is no live share price to compare with, so token prices can move away from the last close.
Your money sits in one balance, held in dollars, across Base and Robinhood Chain, and moving it between them has no Catch fee.
Other ways to buy them
Coinbase's tokenized stocks page links to base.org/stocks for trading on Base. Exchange apps on Base such as Ophis also list the tokens: you connect a self-custody wallet that holds USDC on Base and pick the token yourself.
Where Catch is not a fit
Catch sells stock tokens held in your Catch wallet, not a brokerage account. If you want a brokerage account, Catch is not a fit.
If you live in the US, Catch is not a fit: Coinbase says its stock tokens are not available to persons in the US and other restricted places. Robinhood says its Stock Tokens are not available to residents of the US, Canada, the UK or Switzerland.
Catch buys and sells the tokens onchain; it does not mint or redeem them. Coinbase limits minting and redemption to KYC-onboarded institutional partners and Authorized Participants.
No USDC yet? You can also pay by card through MoonPay, though card payments are not available in every country yet.
