ChainCatcher message, according to official news, 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 open to a select group of 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 achieve a seamless trading experience. Additionally, Coinbase will search for 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.
Officials stated that in the future, they will gradually expand support for more Base assets and plan to integrate other networks such as Solana to further enhance global user access to the DEX market.
