Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has officially rolled out Decentralized Exchange (DEX) trading directly within its mobile app for all U.S. users, with the exception of those in New York.
This new feature, which was first teased in August, allows users to trade tokens immediately upon launch, even before they are considered for traditional listing on the main Coinbase exchange.
Key Details of the DEX Launch:
- Integration: The service is enabled through integration with liquidity pools supported by leading DeFi aggregators 1inch and 0x.
- Functionality: This integration provides users with secure, non-custodial token swaps performed directly on-chain.
- Initial Offerings: At launch, users can trade a variety of Base-native tokens, including assets from projects like Virtuals AI Agents, Reserve Protocol DTFs, and Super Champs.
- Strategic Timing: The launch comes after Coinbase reported a decline in trading volume in the second quarter of the year, compared to the same period in 2024. This new feature is expected to help the exchange capture decentralized trading activity.
Coinbase announced the public rollout via X, stating the feature allows users to “Explore millions of assets, moments after they launch, right from the Coinbase app.”
