Coinbase Shatters Barriers: US Users Now Trading Millions of Assets via DEX Integration
Wall Street's worst nightmare just got a software update. Coinbase—the on-ramp for normies—just plugged directly into decentralized exchanges, unleashing millions of previously inaccessible assets for US traders overnight.
No more begging for token listings. No more watching Europeans ape into that hot new DeFi coin. The floodgates are open—and the suits haven't even figured out how to short it yet.
DEX trading cuts out the middleman (sorry, bankers). Bypasses regulatory bottlenecks (oops, SEC). And delivers what crypto promised all along: open access, zero permission required.
Of course, the usual suspects will whine about 'investor protection.' Meanwhile, the rest of us will be too busy trading to notice.
Coinbase Expands On-Chain Access
According to Coinbase’s official statement, its new DEX trading feature is now rolling out to select users in the United States, excluding New York State due to regulatory restrictions. At launch, customers will have the ability to discover and trade an expanding list of Base-native tokens directly within the Coinbase app. This includes assets from leading projects such as Virtuals AI Agents, Reserve Protocol DTFs, SoSo Value Indices, Auki Labs, and Super Champs.
Coinbase plans to introduce new DEX assets in carefully managed batches. Over the coming weeks, the company will steadily grow its listings with the goal of eventually supporting the entire range of Base network assets. Users are encouraged to check the Coinbase app frequently, as more tokens are being indexed daily.
With this update, traders can now execute transactions on popular decentralized exchanges such as Aerodrome and Uniswap in just a few clicks, without ever leaving the Coinbase interface. The system leverages DEX aggregators to scan liquidity across multiple top-tier decentralized exchanges, ensuring that each trade is executed at the most competitive price available.
AERO Price Analysis: Bullish Breakout After Coinbase Announcement
Aerodrome Finance (AERO) has experienced a sharp surge, currently trading at $1.05 after reaching intraday highs of $1.08. This rally comes on the heels of Coinbase’s announcement integrating DEX trading within its platform, allowing direct access to Base-native assets like AERO.
Technically, AERO’s breakout above the $0.90-$0.95 resistance zone is a notable bullish development. Price has reclaimed all major moving averages, with the 50-day SMA crossing above the 200-day SMA — a golden cross pattern that often signals a sustained uptrend. The 100-day SMA is also turning upward, reinforcing bullish momentum.
Immediate resistance lies NEAR the $1.10 level, a key point from December’s consolidation range. A breakout above this could open the path toward $1.20 and potentially $1.35 in the short term. On the downside, $0.90 now acts as strong support, followed by $0.80 if a retracement occurs.
