Coinbase Launches Tab Brings Instant Token Trading to 100 Million Users

Coinbase has launched its 'New Launches' tab, allowing users to discover and trade freshly minted Base and Solana tokens instantly within the main Coinbase app.

This feature removes a previous delay in accessing new onchain assets, which were previously only available after a formal review process.

The Launches tab is powered by automated indexing, which detects new onchain assets without any setup from token issuers. Tokens can surface in the app minutes after creation, and users can trade them directly without bridging funds or connecting an external wallet.

Coinbase's infrastructure handles Base tokens through its own Layer 2 network, while Solana tokens are integrated with Jupiter, a largest DEX aggregator in the Solana ecosystem. This integration allows Coinbase to offer onchain execution while maintaining a familiar retail experience.
