Coinbase Launches Easy Access to DEX Trading in Brazil
TLDR: Brazilian users will soon be able access millions of crypto assets directly in the Coinbase app through DEX trading.
Coinbase users in Brazil historically have had to navigate the more complicated user interface of decentralised protocols to access the millions of assets launched onchain everyday. Coinbase users will soon be able to access these assets through our decentralised exchange (DEX) trading integration within moments of their creation, all within the trusted interface of the Coinbase app. This will increase the number of assets they can trade on Coinbase from 300 to tens of thousands, and potentially millions in the future.
DEX Trading Details
As of November 19, 2025, DEX trading is progressively rolling out to users in Brazil, giving users access to the growing list of Base-native tokens launching onchain everyday. Built on the idea of the “DeFi Mullet” – Coinbase in the front, powered by DeFi in the back – Coinbase’s DEX integration abstracts away the complexities of decentralized protocols, providing users with a simple yet powerful gateway to onchain markets.
The core benefits and changes include:
Faster Access to More Assets - Trade assets on the Base network within moments of being indexed onchain—no more waiting for listings. We also plan on expanding our offering to more networks, like Solana.
Simplified and Seamless DEX Trading - Makes every trade as simple as possible by providing an integrated self-custody wallet to make DEX trades and sponsoring all network fees. Users can also seamlessly fund their trades, track performance, and manage their portfolio — all within one unified interface.
“Defi Mullet” - Using our DEX integration, users can trade on popular DEXs, like Aerodrome and Uniswap, without leaving the familiar ease of the Coinbase interface. When users submit a trade, DEX aggregators automatically scan the available liquidity across top DEXs to find the best prices.
Transparent and Informed Trading - Consistent with Coinbase’s position as the most trusted crypto exchange, Coinbase’s easy access to DEX trading platforms shows users key market data and risk insights where available from onchain data. Meanwhile, assets that are identified by a trusted third-party vendor as confirmed malicious or fraudulent assets will not be available. Importantly, Coinbase does not hold or review the assets available through our DEX trading integration.
The Next Step Towards an App to Exchange Everything
DEX trading is the latest step in a bold push by Coinbase to build an app to exchange everything, which will allow users to trade anything from anywhere in the world with 24/7 access.\As regulatory clarity continues to mature globally, we are looking forward to updating our users on new and expanded services in line with this vision.
