Coinbase DEX Goes On-Chain: The Perfect Storm for Alpaca Network
Aug 11, 2025
Coinbase’s new in-app DEX is going live today. Instead of waiting months for a centralized listing, any token with liquidity on Base is now a single tap away for millions of retail users. CEO Brian Armstrong summed it up “millions of assets, instantly tradeable” inside the blue app. With that move, Coinbase becomes a supersized liquidity router, funneling CeFi traffic straight into DeFi rails.
What it means for Base
Liquidity upgrade – Aerodrome has already pushed past $1 B TVL, and deeper pools follow every fresh wave of Coinbase users.
Discovery on autopilot – If your pair is liquid, you appear in the Coinbase search bar. No gatekeepers, no listing queue.
UX leap – One-click swaps with gas abstracted away turn first-time DeFi users into repeat traders.
How Alpaca Network is Positioning to Win
This shift doesn’t just benefit the Base ecosystem broadly, it directly amplifies Alpaca Network’s strategy.
Here’s why we’re uniquely positioned:
1. Narrative Fit
Alpaca isn’t just another token on Base, we’re building the foundation for onchain AI model ownership. With Modelz.io, users can tokenize, launch, and back open-source models through IMOs.
We combine the hype of memecoins with real AI infra and that intersection is exactly where Coinbase is sending traffic.
2. Ready Liquidity
We’re already live with PACA–USDC pools on Aerodrome and Uniswap v3, and those pools are being topped up next week, representing over 20% of the circulating marketcap.
Anyone discovering PACA through Coinbase can swap in seconds with no liquidity gaps, no friction, and no confusion.
3. Perfect Timing
The Modelz.io platform is live just as Coinbase opens the floodgates. Our staking dashboard, inference rewards, and community quests are in motion.
When new users arrive, we're not waiting for attention, we’re already capturing it.
Modelz Loop: Liquidity and Revenue in Motion
The Modelz Mainnet went live on July 10, 2025, and in its first four weeks community members have already tokenized 43+ open-source models, pushed cumulative market cap past $1 million, and 4 models graduated achieving “Singularity” moving into locked Uniswap pools.
Here’s why that matters for the Coinbase on-chain wave:
Liquidity flywheel. Every PACA swap coming from Coinbase feeds the bonding curves that fund new MODEL tokens; once a curve raises 6.28 M $PACA (2 π M) an automated Uniswap v3 pool spins up, instantly deepening on-chain liquidity just as millions of new wallets arrive
Revenue flywheel. After a pool is live, any builder who plugs the model into an app streams inference fees back to MODEL holders, which in turn strengthens PACA staking yields and incentivizes the next wave of model launches .
Bottom line: Every Coinbase swap adds to bonding curves, which speeds up MODEL launches and unlocks more fee-sharing. All of it drives stronger demand for $PACA.
Why This Moment Matters
Coinbase just made every Base token instantly accessible to millions of users. No listings, No delays. If your token has a bit of liquidity, it’s there.
That shift plays directly to how Modelz.io was built.
With deep $PACA liquidity already live, and real usage flowing through the Modelz platform, every new swap helps launch more models and every model generates value for the network.
Now, anyone can step into that loop in seconds, directly through one of the largest retail exchanges in the world.
