View ChartThis article covers Coinbase Wrapped ADA (CBADA), which is distinct from Wrapped Cardano (WADA), a separate asset launched in 2017, and from other Coinbase wrapped assets such as cbBTC and cbLTC.
Coinbase Wrapped ADA (CBADA) is a tokenized representation of Cardano's native ADA cryptocurrency, issued on Base, Coinbase's Ethereum layer-2 network, by the Coinbase exchange. A Solana SPL version is also bridged to Solana via Chainlink CCIP.
CBADA is an ERC-20 token issued on Base, Coinbase's Ethereum layer-2 network, and represents Cardano (ADA). A Solana SPL version is also bridged to Solana via Chainlink CCIP. It allows ADA holders to access the extensive ecosystem of Ethereum-based decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, smart contracts, and services. Each CBADA token is backed 1:1 by ADA held in reserve by Coinbase, ensuring its value is pegged to the underlying asset. The primary utility of CBADA is to bridge the Cardano and Ethereum ecosystems, unlocking liquidity and new use cases for ADA. CBADA trades on spot markets; check each venue for the pairs it lists.
Coinbase Wrapped ADA (CBADA) is an ERC-20 token that mirrors the value of Cardano's ADA, enabling it to function within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Coinbase Wrapped ADA was created and is issued by Coinbase, one of the largest and most regulated cryptocurrency exchanges in the United States. The project falls under Coinbase's initiative to develop "wrapped" assets, which are tokenized versions of cryptocurrencies from other blockchains. Coinbase has previously issued wrapped versions of bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), XRP and dogecoin (DOGE) on Base. The creation of CBADA is a custodial service offered by Coinbase. When a user withdraws ADA held in their Coinbase account to the Base network, an equivalent amount of cbADA is minted and sent to the destination wallet. This process is managed entirely by Coinbase, which holds the original ADA in reserve to back every CBADA token in circulation.
CBADA operates through a straightforward custodial wrapping process managed by Coinbase. A Solana SPL version of cbADA is bridged to Solana via Chainlink CCIP, with mint address cbADAmv9issuPfhFwyQG3xac4DGPd1LDSt1oz7vwJsg.
Holding cbADA carries risks: its value tracks ADA and can fall sharply, redemption depends on Coinbase as custodian, and smart-contract or bridge risks apply on Base and Solana.
CBADA's primary value proposition lies in its role as a bridge between two major blockchain ecosystems, Cardano and Ethereum. Its uniqueness stems from the issuer's reputation and the specific utility it unlocks.
CBADA is primarily used as a utility token to enable ADA's functionality on the Ethereum network. Its use cases are centred around interoperability and accessing a broader financial ecosystem.
CBADA can be acquired on Coinbase (the issuer and custodian), and is also listed on Binance, Bybit, Crypto.com and OpenSea; on Solana it can be swapped via Solana Compass.
