Coinbase is accelerating its global crypto push, expanding its Everything Exchange vision as decentralized trading inside the Coinbase app opens to users across 84 countries, unlocking access to millions of onchain tokens beyond traditional exchange listings.
Coinbase Pushes ‘Everything Exchange’ Vision Worldwide
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong shared on social media platform X on March 6 that the company’s vision of building an “Everything Exchange” is expanding globally as decentralized exchange ( DEX) trading becomes available to users across dozens of new markets.
“The Everything Exchange is going global,” Armstrong stated. “ Crypto creates economic freedom.” The remarks followed a Coinbase post on X highlighting that DEX trading within the Coinbase app is now accessible across 84 countries.
The 84 supported markets are Albania, Armenia, Angola, Aruba, Azerbaijan, Barbados, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Bahrain, Benin, Bermuda, Bolivia, Bahamas, Botswana, Belize, Congo (Republic), Côte d’Ivoire, Chile, Cameroon, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Algeria, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, Fiji, Gabon, Ghana, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Israel, Jamaica, Jordan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Cambodia, Kuwait, Cayman Islands, Saint Lucia, Sri Lanka, Morocco, Moldova, North Macedonia, Mongolia, Macao, Mauritania, Mauritius, Maldives, Malawi, Mexico, Malaysia, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Nepal, Oman, Panama, Peru, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan, Paraguay, Serbia, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, Senegal, Suriname, El Salvador, Togo, Thailand, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Türkiye, Trinidad and Tobago, Ukraine, Uganda, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, British Virgin Islands, Vietnam, South Africa, and Zambia.
The rollout expands Coinbase’s integrated onchain trading by connecting users directly to decentralized liquidity pools through the Coinbase interface. Rather than relying only on the roughly 300 assets listed on centralized exchanges, the feature provides access to millions of tokens created on blockchain networks as they launch. The system primarily operates on Base, Coinbase’s layer-2 network, while also supporting Ethereum and Solana. Users trade through an integrated self-custody wallet, meaning transactions occur peer-to-peer on the blockchain while users retain control of their assets.
The expansion aligns with Coinbase’s broader “Everything Exchange” strategy introduced by Armstrong during the Coinbase System Update 2025 event on Dec. 17, where he outlined plans to bring assets such as stocks, prediction markets, and real-world assets onchain. The strategy expanded further in February when Coinbase rolled out commission-free U.S. stock and ETF trading to eligible users through a partnership with Apex Fintech Solutions, allowing equities and crypto to be managed within the same account. Coinbase also integrated stock research and trading through a partnership with Yahoo Finance. The company has indicated a longer-term objective of eventually tokenizing equities, which could enable continuous global trading and allow stock holdings to interact with decentralized finance applications.
