Coinbase’s DEX integration introduces users to the decentralized exchange experience through Base-native assets. This includes tokens from top Base projects like Virtuals AI Agents, Reserve Protocol’s decentralized token folios, and SoSo Value indices. DTFs are tokens that offer redeemability for a basket of assets at a 1:1 ratio.
With Aerodrome Finance (AERO) the leading DEX protocol on Base, it’s no surprise the native token skyrocketed on the bullish news. Aerodrome is set to offer trading infrastructure to millions of users via Coinbase, the largest U.S.-based crypto exchange.
