Coinbase has taken a significant step towards the Solana ecosystem by integrating the decentralized exchange aggregator Jupiter Exchange into its platform.
Thanks to this integration, Coinbase users will be able to buy and sell native tokens on the Solana network directly through the Coinbase interface. This development is seen as a strategic move to facilitate access, especially for investors interested in the Solana ecosystem.
Under the new integration, users will be able to conduct transactions using their existing Coinbase balances and payment methods defined on the platform. However, transactions will be processed through users’ self-custody wallets instead of Coinbase’s custodial infrastructure.
This structure allows users to maintain control over their assets while also providing a more secure transition into the decentralized finance (DeFi) world.
On the technical side, Jupiter Exchange will act as the transaction execution engine. Jupiter will aggregate liquidity from different decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on the Solana blockchain to determine the best price and the most efficient transaction path.
All trading transactions will be settled on-chain. Coinbase will continue to manage user login, fiat gateways, and the overall user experience.
One of the most notable aspects of this integration is that users won’t have to wait through the lengthy listing processes often encountered on centralized exchanges. This will allow Coinbase users instant access to numerous new and existing tokens within the Solana ecosystem.
According to experts, this step both strengthens Coinbase’s integration with DeFi and contributes to the Solana ecosystem reaching a wider user base.
