The industry leader in crypto exchange and custody

Coinbase is a U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange and custodian that operates in 100+ countries and serves over 120M total users, with 8.7M transacting each month. Its reputation as the industry leader is built upon real-world utility and a trusted, easy-to-use experience.

Today, Coinbase’s onchain ecosystem includes:

DEX trading inside the main Coinbase App
Base App onchain social, payments, and DeFi
Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) unified toolkit for builders

All three rely on token swaps as a core primitive, and all three are powered by 0x.

Our goal at Coinbase is to build the Everything Exchange – a place for our users to trade every asset, access any market, and bring their entire financial lives onchain in a way that's trusted, compliant and accessible at a global scale. Working with 0x allowed us to integrate decentralized markets directly into multiple Coinbase products, giving users access to onchain liquidity without compromising reliability or performance.

Onchain opportunity

Users are moving onchain

Tokenization has exploded from a few hundred tokens to tens of millions across dozens of networks. Users increasingly move onchain to:

Find newly launched assets in seconds, not weeks
Access DeFi tools without giving up self-custody
Participate in SocialFi and creator economies

DEX trading volume has surged as users are routing around exchanges that can't list or support assets at onchain speed. For Coinbase, this was both:

A challenge: users churn to chase long-tail tokens on DEXs
An opportunity: to bring onchain markets into Coinbase instead of competing with them

The missing piece? Enterprise-grade exchange infrastructure that keeps up with onchain markets and meets demands for reliability, speed, and security.

Why 0x?

Expand from hundreds to millions of tokens

We enabled DEX trading directly within Coinbase Exchange, allowing users to swap any token instantly.

Reimagine the onchain experience

With 0x powering the Base App, Coinbase unites social, payments, and DeFi, so every post and creator becomes a tradable asset.

Empower builders

With Swap API built into Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP), developers get everything they need to build great apps on Base.
