Coinbase DEX Trading Launch: Expands Access for U.S. Native Users

Coinbase DEX Trading Launch Unlocks Millions of Base Network Tokens

Crypto exchange Coinbase has officially launched decentralized exchange (DEX) trading inside its app for U.S. users, excluding those in New York. Coinbase DEX Trading Launch feature, first announced in August for select users, is now available nationwide, marking a major milestone in Coinbase’s strategy to merge centralized ease of use with decentralized market access.

Faster Access to Million of Tokens

Until now, its users were limited to about 300 listed assets. With this Launch, that expands to millions of Base-native and on-chain tokens that can be traded immediately after-launch, no waiting for official listing. 

Early supported projects include Virtual AI Agents, Reserve Protocol DTFs, SoSo Value Incides, Auki Labs, and Super Champs.

Key Features of Coinbase-DEX Trading

• Faster Access: New tokens are tradable the moment they launch.

• Smooth Funding: You can use coinbase-balances or USDC to fund trades.

• Zero Network Fees: The exchange covers gas fees for DEX-trades. 

• Non-Custodial: Users keep full control via Coinbase’s integrated self-custody wallet.

• Transparency: Built-in risk data flags suspicious or malicious token. 

Coincide With New Listing: Market Impact

The DEX launch comes along with the listing of 3 new tokens: LINEA, SYND, and NOICE, which are set to go live tomorrow. Notably, NOICE, the only Base-native token among them, has already shown the strongest early price gains.

When DEX-trading was first teased in August, several Base tokens rallied. So, now it is also possible for Coinbase's to play a similar role for Base projects that Binance played for BNB, by providing early liquidity and massive user exposure.

A Bigger Picture Ahead With Expansions

By launching decentralized exchange trading, Coinbase's transforming its app into a one-stop on-chain trading hub. The project also confirmed that Solana network support is next on the DEX-roadmap, followed by more blockchains and global market expansions. 

This rollout represents one of the company’s most ambitious steps toward becoming a hybrid gateway between regulated centralized platforms and the rapidly decentralized ecosystems.
