18 Crypto Assets Coinbase Could Support in 2020

One of the largest and most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges, Coinbase have recently announced that they’re exploring the support of 18 new cryptos on their platform for 2020. The release of this information could potentially be good for the prices of these new Coinbase coins. In this post, we’ll look at the announcement and into each of these potential additions.

What New Cryptos Will Coinbase Support?

Coinbase announced in a blog post from June 10th 2020, that they are currently exploring the support for the following tokens; Aave, Aragon, Arweave, Bancor, COMP, DigiByte, Horizen, Livepeer, NuCypher, Numeraire, KEEP Network, Origin Protocol, Ren, Render Network, Siacoin*, SKALE Network, Synthetix, and VeChain.

When Will the New Tokens Be Available?

They are yet to announce a timeline for listing these assets. As Coinbase states that the process requires “significant technical and compliance review”, in addition to some regulatory approval.

They’ve stated that they “will add new assets on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, subject to applicable review and authorizations,”. And that “customers can expect Coinbase to make future, similar announcements as we continue to explore the addition of numerous assets across the platform.”

As part of their process, “Coinbase users may see public-facing APIs and other signs that we are conducting engineering work to potentially support these assets“.

Token Prices

This information could potentially be good for the prices of these tokens. For example, one of the reasons for MakerDAO’s recent influx in price has been given credit to being added on Coinbase. Plus on the announcement of Stellar Lumens being added the token gained around 6% on the day.
