Coinbase has officially launched its decentralized exchange (DEX) service for a select group of users in the United States. This marks a significant step for the cryptocurrency giant into the world of decentralized finance (DeFi). DEX Trading on Coinbase App The initial rollout allows users to trade digital assets directly from their Coinbase app, leveraging the Base chain, Coinbase's own Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution. This integration promises faster and more cost-effective transactions compared to trading on the main Ethereum network. Benefits of Using Coinbase DEX By offering a DEX within its familiar app, Coinbase aims to bridge the gap between centralized and decentralized trading, providing a user-friendly experience for both newcomers and experienced DeFi users. Select users can now explore the world of decentralized trading with the security and convenience of the Coinbase platform. More widespread availability is expected in the near future. ```
