Coinbase Brings Wrapped XRP and DOGE to Base for DeFi Integration

Coinbase has taken another step toward boosting cross-chain utility by introducing wrapped versions of XRP and Dogecoin on its Layer 2 network, Base.

The new tokens—cbXRP and cbDOGE—are fully backed by their original counterparts and aim to unlock broader functionality in decentralized finance.

The move marks the official launch of Coinbase’s plan to bring select major cryptocurrencies into the Base ecosystem. With this update, users can now interact with DeFi applications using XRP and DOGE without leaving the network.
