Coinbase integrates DEX trading via Base into its app, expanding access to millions of tokens and streamlining decentralized trading with a built-in wallet and fee sponsorship for select U.S. users.
On August 8, Coinbase announced the integration of decentralized exchange (DEX) trading into its app via the Base platform, allowing select U.S. customers (excluding New York) to trade Base-native tokens instantly. The rollout expands access from a limited list of 300 assets to millions by routing trades through protocols such as Aerodrome and Uniswap. Coinbase simplifies the trading process with a built-in self-custody wallet, sponsors all network fees, and allows funding through Coinbase balances or USDC. The company is deploying support in batches, with plans to index additional Base assets, expand to other networks like Solana, and extend DEX access globally. Jesse Pollak emphasized that the move levels the playing field for Base builders.
