Coinbase launches DEX trading feature, now available to some users in the United States

ChainCatcher news, according to official sources, Coinbase has announced the launch of decentralized exchange (DEX) trading features in its application, allowing users to trade millions of on-chain assets directly on the Base network. This feature is currently available to some U.S. users (excluding New York State) and will initially support Base native assets such as Virtuals AI Agents, Reserve Protocol DTFs, SoSo Value Indices, Auki Labs, and Super Champs.

Users can initiate trades using their Coinbase balance or USDC, with the platform integrating self-custody wallets and subsidizing network fees to provide a seamless trading experience. Additionally, Coinbase will seek the best prices across multiple DEXs (such as Aerodrome and Uniswap) through a DEX aggregator and provide on-chain risk alerts to filter out malicious assets.

The official statement indicates that there will be a gradual expansion to support more Base assets in the future, with plans to integrate other networks such as Solana to further enhance global user access to the DEX market.
