Coinbase announces the launch of DEX trading, unlocking millions of on-chain assets

A decentralized exchange (DEX) has been launched within the Coinbase app, allowing users in the United States (excluding New York State) to directly trade millions of on-chain assets on the Base network. Users can use their Coinbase balances or USDC to trade using an integrated self-custodial wallet. The platform automatically filters major DEXs (such as Aerodrome and Uniswap) for the best prices and blocks assets identified as malicious or fraudulent. Coinbase plans to support more networks, including Solana, and expand globally.
