Coinbase Blurs Lines, Integrates On-Chain DEX into Core Product in Major US Push
In a significant move to bridge centralized and decentralized finance, Coinbase has fully integrated DEX trading into its primary exchange app for its US user base.
The feature, now publicly available, connects users to liquidity pools on the Base network via aggregators 1inch and 0x.
This strategic rollout allows Coinbase to offer exposure to nascent tokens like those from Virtuals AI and Auki Labs without the delays of its formal listing process, cementing its app as a comprehensive gateway to the crypto economy.
The deployment of this feature comes in the wake of Coinbase’s Q2 financial report, which highlighted a decrease in overall trading volume, underscoring the company’s need to diversify its product offerings and revenue streams.
