Coinbase Launches Non-Custodial DEX Trading in Brazil as Part of Everything App Vision
Coinbase has launched non-custodial decentralized exchange (DEX) trading in Brazil through integrations with Uniswap and Aerodrome. The platform features a built-in self-custody wallet and offers zero network fees. Base-native tokens can be traded moments after minting, expanding token access from hundreds to potentially millions within the Coinbase app without users needing to leave it.
The rollout aligns with Brazil's central bank regulations, which require crypto firms to obtain a license, report international transactions, and meet capital requirements up to $7 million. Companies have a nine-month window to comply. Foreign platforms serving Brazilian users must establish a local entity or face the risk of being barred. Additionally, self-custody wallets used for international transfers are subject to monthly reporting.
To ensure security, assets identified as malicious or fraudulent by a trusted third-party vendor will not be available through the DEX integrations.
This DEX launch in Brazil is part of Coinbase's broader "everything app" strategy that mirrors its U.S. offering, aiming to provide a comprehensive financial services platform within a single application. The article was updated on November 19, 2025.
