Small tip for those of you doing defi things with a coinbase account:

If you need a largeish amount of DAI (or some other stable)

USD -> [stable] directly is expensive and lossy

USD -> USDC via coinbase is free
USDC -> [stable] via dex is usually super cheap

tons of slippage saved by using USDC as an intermediary

I could see that if you're doing crypto -> crypto but if you're doing USD -> stablecoin I haven't found anything better than the coinbase USDC swap. All good tools to have 👍

Most of the time I look for ETH or usdc pairs, especially as intermediaries as they usually have deepest liquidity. 

Had to do something a few days ago that was challenging and found ETH to be the best in between.
