October in Coinbase Wallet
Coinbase Wallet published its monthly product round-up on 2 November 2026 as an X article titled "Trade More, With Less Hassle: October in Coinbase Wallet". Its theme is taking extra steps out of trading.
The headline number is about the loyalty program, which gives qualifying traders part of their swap fees back in USDC each week. Coinbase Wallet says it paid out more than $72,000 in USDC in the first week alone. Prediction markets powered by Polymarket and Anthropic pre-IPO perps, both covered earlier, are also listed, with geo restrictions.
No gas token needed for swaps
The most practical change for everyday users: you can now pay the network fee for a swap with USDC, USDT or USDG on supported networks. Until now, swapping on a network usually meant holding a little of its native coin, such as ETH, just to pay for gas. Coinbase Wallet did not list which networks are supported.
Trading tools and safety
The perps leaderboard now shows what top traders are holding: tap a trader to see their positions. Your own buys and sells now appear directly on price charts, prices update in real time across the app, and Pulse Mode was redesigned so everything needed to set up a trade sits in one place (geo restrictions apply).
Two changes target execution. Eligible Ethereum swaps are sent privately, which helps stop bots from jumping ahead of your trade, a practice known as front-running. And the wallet now supports larger Solana transactions, so more complex swaps can go through.
Smaller improvements
The Android app opens faster and switches tabs more quickly, the design has been refined further since the rebrand, and you can now hide NFTs you do not want to see. Hidden NFTs stay in your wallet, just out of view.
Our take
Paying gas in stablecoins removes one of the most common stumbling blocks for new self-custody users, the failed swap because you hold no ETH. Private Ethereum swaps are a quiet but real protection. Copying positions from a leaderboard is a different matter: seeing what a top trader holds tells you nothing about their risk limits, so treat it as information, not a signal.
