Coinbase has launched Verified Pools, a pool of verified knowledge of knowledge (KYC) designed to improve the adoption of DEFI while reducing counterparty risks.
This new initiative offers institutional and retail traders that are in accordance with chain liquidity.
CEO of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, stressed that some digital assets require specific regulatory approvals under American law. He noted that the checked pools allow users to obtain verified assets and to negotiate safely on the chain, creating a new standard for compliant DEFI engagement.
Checked swimming pools
The checked pools will allow users to connect their portfolios – co -cash portfolio, ONCHAIN prime portfolio or third party wallet – to Coinbase check information. This identifier acts as a confidence badge, checking users before interacting with liquidity pools.
The pools are built on the basis, the layer 2 blockchain of Coinbase and operate Uniswap V4 to improve the features of the smart contract.
In addition, Coinbase has teamed up with Gauntlet, a risk management platform, to optimize liquidity pool configurations and ensure the overall health of the market.
Currently, verified swimming pools are available for users from the United States, Singapore, the Netherlands, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands and the Anglo-Norman Islands.
Growing institutional interest
The launch of verified pools coincides with the growing institutional interest for the crypto.
A recent Coinbase and Ey-Parthenon report revealed that institutional investors plan to increase their exposure to digital assets in 2025.
The survey, carried out in January, gathered information from more than 350 institutional investors. He revealed that most already hold crypto and intend to allocate at least 5% of their portfolios with digital assets.
The study stresses that institutional investors consider the crypto as a main opportunity for risk adjusted to risk over the next three years. While Bitcoin remains dominant, investors also diversify in altcoins such as Solana and XRP.
In addition, the report suggests that the interest in digital assets could further increase if ETF Spot Altcoin receive approval from the United States.
The report noted that institutional feeling is motivated by the expectations of greater regulatory clarity, which could unlock new opportunities, in particular in the guard of cryptography. However, the scalable regulatory landscape remains one of the challenges of the industry.
