PUMP and AERO tokens were among those that rallied on Friday following the announcement, gains that bucked the broader market trend as top coins pared gains alongside stocks. Downside momentum for leading digital assets emerged as equities also reversed gains following the latest U.S. jobs data.

DEX trading support
Coinbase’s move builds on an earlier integration that saw the top exchange add 12 cryptocurrencies as eligible collateral for futures trading. Those added in June 2025 include Aave and NEAR.
Notably, the U.S.-listed company recently expanded the leverage cap for perpetual futures on the platform from 20x to 50x. The 50x leverage on supported assets is accessible to retail users on Coinbase Advanced and institutions via the Coinbase International Exchange. Support for non-U.S. perpetual futures is available in eligible jurisdictions.
Recently, the platform integrated perpetual futures for Horizen, UMA, and GMX on both the Coinbase International Exchange and Coinbase Advanced.
In August, Coinbase announced it now supports decentralized exchange trading, with the product rolled out to select U.S.-based users. DEX trading allows users to discover and trade various Base-native tokens, including Virtuals AI Agents and SoSo Value Indices within the Coinbase app.
