Base is about to start exploring token issuance. Coinbase has reportedly always wanted to issue a token but ultimately chose to go public. Under Trump's new policies, the conflict between going public and issuing tokens seems to no longer be an issue. This means that in the future, exchanges that issue tokens might also be able to go public in the U.S. (Binance, OKX, HashKey, etc.); publicly listed exchanges and companies might also be able to issue tokens. Public companies could hold tokens while simultaneously serving as a DAT treasury, creating a flywheel effect between the two.
