Coinbase, one of the world’s largest and most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges, has updated its flagship mobile application to directly support decentralized exchanges (DEXs) operating on Ethereum’s Base layer 2. This highly anticipated feature allows users to trade tokens on Base DEXs like Aerodrome via simple, intuitive mobile mechanics, all while keeping the process fast and low-fee compared to Ethereum mainnet.
The significance is twofold. First, millions of users (most of whom have little experience with manual wallets or DeFi protocols) can now access decentralized finance (DeFi) without leaving a secure, compliant environment. Second, integrating DEX functionality within the Coinbase app brings enormous liquidity and new trading opportunities to Base, helping this Ethereum rollup network achieve greater decentralization.
By linking DeFi capabilities with familiar features such as portfolio balancing, real-time tracking, and customer support, Coinbase is accelerating the merger of centralized and decentralized finance (CeFi and DeFi). The move could drive a dramatic uptick in daily active users on Base DEXs, boost adoption of USDC and other stablecoins, and make advanced trading techniques more broadly available.
For users, this means cutting out confusing interfaces, complex bridging procedures, and excessive fees—paving the way for a new class of DeFi participant. Experts suggest that, with its regulatory standing and brand strength, Coinbase is in a unique position to become a “DeFi gateway” for retail and institutional clients alike.
