Coinbase Launches DEX Trading in Brazil, Advances 'Everything App' Vision
Coinbase has launched DEX trading in Brazil, marking a notable expansion of its product suite in a market that recently tightened rules for crypto firms. Brazil’s central bank now requires licensing and disclosure of cross‑border transactions, and Coinbase says the DEX feature will operate within that framework. The move lets users access non‑custodial trading options through the exchange’s interface, increasing on‑ramp flexibility while meeting local compliance obligations.
The rollout advances Coinbase’s broader “everything app” strategy to combine trading, wallets, and decentralized finance services under one roof. For Brazilian users, the change could widen access to DeFi while giving regulators clearer transaction visibility. The launch may also set a regional precedent as other platforms adapt to Brazil’s transparency and licensing demands, balancing innovation with oversight.
