Fact Check
The claim is well-supported by multiple independent sources. The CoinDesk article by Ian Allison (the primary source) directly confirms all key elements: Coinbase selected DFlow as its primary Solana trading router, trade failures were sharply reduced (specifically from 1-in-30 to 1-in-250, an 8x improvement), liquidity access for smaller-cap tokens was expanded, and execution prices improved. The X post by @SolanaFloor and the Odaily newsflash both corroborate these facts independently. The claim's description is an accurate, if slightly simplified, summary of the CoinDesk reporting. No conflicting evidence was found.

The update adds more specific performance data than earlier reports and indicates the routing change also improved execution prices and expanded liquidity coverage for smaller-cap Solana tokens. The development highlights how order-routing infrastructure can affect completion rates, available liquidity, and trading quality on crypto platforms.
