Coinbase Integrates In-App Solana DEX Swaps, Enabling Instant Access to New Tokens

The move pushes Coinbase toward on-chain execution to counter slowing U.S. spot volumes.

Overview

  • Users can now trade Solana tokens inside the Coinbase app using USDC, bank transfers, cash or a debit card.
  • Swaps route to Solana DEX liquidity through a hybrid model, allowing users to retain control of assets during execution.
  • The update removes centralized listing waits by making any Solana token with sufficient on-chain liquidity immediately discoverable in the app.
  • Coinbase says it will add Solana assets in phases to test liquidity and demand rather than opening large batches at once.
  • Deeper Solana integration is progressing, including the planned Vector.fun acquisition, new SOL staking via Figment for Coinbase Prime, and forthcoming native Solana placement in the app interface.
