Coinbase dropped a major update at Solana Breakpoint that changes how traders access the ecosystem.
The exchange will now let users trade any Solana token directly inside the Coinbase app through a built-in DEX, without waiting for listings. Now there is straight, on-chain liquidity through the same interface people already trust.
A Better Way to Access New Solana Tokens
Coinbase Protocol Specialist Andrew explained the change:
“Millions of assets are launching on chain every day… this allows you to trade any token on Solana… the moment they become available on chain.”
Users can pay with USDC, a bank account, cash, or even a debit card – making Solana’s rapid-fire token market far easier to access.
For many traders, the biggest win is safety. Instead of racing to find early tokens through unfamiliar platforms, the Coinbase app now pulls liquidity straight from Solana DEXs. It’s the same experience, just with a much wider set of assets.
A Win for Developers Too
This update also changes the game for builders. Andrew noted that “if your token has sufficient liquidity,” it becomes instantly reachable by millions of Coinbase users with no centralized listing required.
It removes one of the biggest hurdles for new teams: visibility. If the token trades, people can find it.
Coinbase Doubles Down on Solana
The company also confirmed deeper support is coming. Soon, Solana assets will appear natively in the app, sitting alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum instead of being treated as an add-on.
Breakpoint brought more momentum, with Ellipsis Labs launching Phoenix Perpetuals, a Solana-native perps DEX offering gasless trading and instant onboarding.
A Shift in How Exchanges Operate
Coinbase is signaling a broader shift. Exchanges are moving from deciding what gets listed to giving users direct access to whatever the blockchain produces. And with Solana’s growth running hot, the timing fits.
