Coinbase has launched a new feature that allows its users to trade Base-native tokens directly using their existing balances. This functionality is a result of a strategic integration between the Coinbase App and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) that support these tokens.
This new integration provides a significant advantage for developers, as it gives them immediate access to millions of traders without needing an official listing on the exchange. The company plans to extend this feature to other networks, with Solana (SOL) being the next in line.
The market has already responded positively to this development, with the overall market cap of the Base ecosystem's top tokens climbing by 3.7% to approximately $84.7 billion. Leading the charge were tokens like Aerodrome Finance (AERO) and Brett (Based) BRETT. AERO, which is the largest DEX on the Base network, saw its price surge by over 30% in the last 24 hours.
This move positions Coinbase to attract more altcoin traders in the upcoming 2025 altseason. By opening its platform to millions of tokens beyond its initial list of 300, Coinbase is now better equipped to compete with other major global exchanges like Binance and Bybit.
