Coinbase has integrated the 1inch Swap API into its platform to provide its user base with safer and more frictionless token exchange services.
This action solidifies Coinbase’s place in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem and improves service capabilities for millions of retail and institutional trades by making it 1inch’s most important API client.
Features of Coinbase’s Integration with the 1inch Swap API
Coinbase users may now exchange on-chain, non-custodial tokens directly within their integrated hosted wallet, thanks to the launch of the 1inch exchange API. The integration also uses 1inch’s sophisticated liquidity aggregation to extract prices from over 300 liquidity sources across key blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana.
For consumers using Coinbase to access decentralized trading alternatives, this guarantees more competitive token exchange prices in addition to improving the efficiency and speed of swaps.
Coinbase has decided to integrate the 1inch API, as mainstream clients’ demand for decentralized exchange services continues to grow. The platform is a significant retail audience for 1inch Network’s aggregation technology, employing over 25 million clients in the United States and generating daily trade volumes surpassing $500 million.
Through the partnership, users can exchange tokens non-custodially, which keeps their assets under their direct control. This enhances security and makes it easier for users to access DeFi services in the Coinbase environment they are familiar with.
Moreover, the integration reduces the entry barrier for DeFi adoption by enabling cross-chain trading, liquidity routing, and intricate multi-step token swaps, all accessible directly from the Coinbase app. This enables decentralized protocols for use by both novice and experienced traders, eliminating the need for external wallets or prior familiarity with DEX navigation.
DEX Aggregator Industry Context
New market entries on Solana and zkSync, combined with U.S. acceptance, have propelled the 1inch Network to around 60% of the DEX aggregator market share in 2025. The connection with Coinbase now gives one of the most regulated and popular cryptocurrency exchanges in the world access to its Pathfinder algorithm and liquidity pool.
The merger and other strategic alliances, as well as API integrations, are anticipated to further blur the distinctions between centralized and decentralized finance, as more exchanges vie to provide greater liquidity and cross-chain capabilities.
