Coinbase Unlocks Millions of Onchain Assets With New DEX Trading Integration
09.10.2025 9:00 2 min. read Kosta Gushterov
Coinbase has officially launched decentralized exchange (DEX) trading in the United States, allowing users to trade millions of onchain assets directly within the Coinbase app.
The rollout, now live across the U.S., excluding New York, represents one of the company’s most ambitious steps toward merging centralized convenience with decentralized access.
With this update, Coinbase users can instantly trade Base-native tokens and emerging onchain assets the moment they launch. To enable this, Coinbase has integrated liquidity from 1inch and 0x, bringing non-custodial token swaps and direct onchain access to millions of traders.
From 300 Tokens to Millions
Until now, Coinbase users were limited to roughly 300 listed assets. With DEX trading, that number expands exponentially to include millions of tokens available on Base, Coinbase’s Layer 2 blockchain.
Early supported projects include Virtuals AI Agents, Reserve Protocol DTFs, SoSo Value Indices, Auki Labs, and Super Champs, all accessible directly from the Coinbase app’s familiar interface.
Over the coming weeks, Coinbase plans to add more Base assets in batches, continually indexing new tokens as they appear onchain. This means users will be able to trade freshly launched assets within moments of their creation.
Simplified and Fee-Free Trading
The new DEX experience has been designed for accessibility.
- Network fees are sponsored by Coinbase, eliminating the need for users to hold native gas tokens.
- Trades can be funded seamlessly using Coinbase balances or USDC, without switching wallets or leaving the app.
- Users retain full control of their assets via Coinbase’s integrated self-custody wallet, ensuring a non-custodial experience.
Behind the scenes, DEX aggregators scan liquidity across platforms like Uniswap and Aerodrome, securing the best execution prices automatically.

Built-In Transparency and Protection
To promote secure trading, Coinbase integrates onchain data analytics that help identify risky or malicious tokens. Assets flagged by trusted third-party vendors as fraudulent are excluded from trading visibility, adding a layer of safety uncommon in DEX environments.
This approach merges DeFi freedom with Coinbase’s compliance-first model, giving users transparency while maintaining regulatory trust.
Expansion Ahead: Solana and Global Markets
Coinbase confirmed that the next step in its roadmap is DEX support for additional networks, beginning with Solana. The company also intends to expand DEX functionality to more international markets, extending onchain access to millions of global users.
By enabling DEX trading, Coinbase is positioning itself as the gateway to onchain markets, where users can seamlessly bridge between centralized ease and decentralized innovation.
