Coinbase’s new DEX trading feature offers select U.S. users (excluding New York) a blend of centralized convenience and decentralized freedom by routing trades via aggregators like Uniswap and Aerodrome.
Coinbase announced a press release via its August 8 blog introducing an in-app DEX trading feature for select U.S. users excluding New York. The feature enables near-instant swaps of Base-native tokens using aggregators such as Uniswap and Aerodrome, bypassing the traditional listing process. It offers benefits like sponsored transaction fees, elimination of fragmented liquidity, and direct funding from Coinbase balances or USDC holdings, with plans for gradual expansion including potential support for networks like Solana and international markets.
