At the 2025 Coinbase State of Crypto Summit, the integration of USDC payments on the Layer-2 Base network was announced, marking an important step in the development of the crypto economy.
Launch of USDC Integration
At the Coinbase Summit held on June 12, 2025, the announcement was made about integrating USDC payments through the Base network in collaboration with Shopify. This allows merchants in over 30 countries to accept cryptocurrency with no foreign exchange fees. Jesse Pollak, the Creator of Base and Head of Protocols at Coinbase, called this integration a "watershed moment," stating that this is "day one of a new on-chain financial system."
DEX Integration into Coinbase App
Coinbase announced the integration of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Aerodrome into its main app, providing access to DeFi for millions of users. Aerodrome's official account also confirmed this integration, allowing Coinbase users to trade various assets on-chain.
Analysis and Price Prediction for AERO
As of June 13, 2025, the price of AERO is approximately $0.6267 after a 13.3% daily increase. Technical analysis suggests that AERO could test the resistance level of $0.80 and the psychological level of $1. Recorded trading volumes on the DEX surged to $663.9 million, and revenues reached $1.7 million in a short timeframe.
The launch of USDC integration and the connection to DEX on Coinbase open new horizons for cryptocurrency activity, enhancing user experience and increasing the accessibility of crypto services.
