Leading crypto exchange Coinbase has announced the launch of Verified Pools, a dedicated set of liquidity pools accessible only to verified users. The initiative aims to enhance security, transparency, and efficiency in digital asset trading by integrating identity verification with smart contract technology.
According to Coinbase’s official statement, Verified Pools will be available to individuals and institutions in eligible jurisdictions, including:
- United States
- Singapore
- Netherlands
- British Virgin Islands
- Cayman Islands
- Channel Islands
Users can connect to the Verified Pools using:
- Coinbase Prime Onchain Wallet
- Coinbase Wallet
- Any wallet with Coinbase Verifications credential
By limiting access to verified participants, Coinbase aims to reduce counterparty risk while maintaining the openness and efficiency of onchain markets.
Coinbase’s Verified Pools are developed on Layer 2 Base, a scalable blockchain incubated by Coinbase. The system is powered by Uniswap v4 for developer flexibility and further optimized by Gauntlet, a risk management platform specializing in onchain financial modeling.
What’s Next? Coinbase to Launch 24/7 Bitcoin & Ethereum Futures
In addition to Verified Pools, Coinbase is preparing to introduce round-the-clock Bitcoin and Ethereum futures trading on its derivatives exchange. According to reports, this feature is expected to roll out in the coming weeks.
As one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges by spot trading volume, Coinbase continues to expand its services. Data from PRIME’s Data Dashboard reveals that in February, Coinbase recorded $125.6 billion in spot trading volume, contributing to $1.77 trillion in total monthly transactions.
With security-focused Verified Pools and upcoming futures trading expansions, Coinbase is strengthening its position as a leading force in the digital asset ecosystem.
