Increasing transparency for new asset listings on Coinbase

As part of an effort to increase transparency by providing as much information symmetry as possible, Coinbase will be using this blog post to communicate when we have made a decision to list an asset.

Roadmap

Updates to the roadmap will be made here and announced via our official Twitter account.

Note: Transfers and trading are not supported for these or any other assets until a listing is officially announced. Depositing these assets into your Coinbase account before an official announcement may lead to permanent loss of funds.

• QCAD (QCAD) - Contract address: 0x4a16baf414b8e637ed12019fad5dd705735db2e0

Assets on the Sonic network

*This is not an exhaustive list of all assets which we have decided to list. Any asset not referenced in the above lists does not preclude any such asset from potential listing. Trading for assets will only be launched once there is market-making support and sufficient technical infrastructure in place. We will announce the launch of trading on X once these conditions are met.

As a reminder, Coinbase recently introduced an Experimental label that may be applied to newly listed assets. Some of the assets mentioned above may be listed with this Experimental label.

Disclaimer & Risks: There will be times when an asset is delayed or removed from consideration for listing for any number of factors. While we will try to make every reasonable effort to minimize this risk of occurrence, it should be understood that all information in this blog is in no way intended to be relied upon as a promise or guarantee of listing. Coinbase reserves the right to discontinue this blog post.

Why have you decided to list these assets?

Asset Listings on Coinbase Exchange adhere to thorough processes and standards for legal, compliance and technical security. These standards do not take into account the market cap or popularity of a project. This means there are assets that we have concluded do not meet our standards and thus will not be listed on Coinbase at this time.

If we haven’t yet listed a popular asset, it is likely due to various reasons including:

1. We have concluded that the asset does not meet our minimum listing standards across legal, compliance and technical security

2. We do not have enough information about the asset

3. Technical integration work is required

Our review process is outlined in greater detail here.

How do you choose which “types” of assets to support?

We are working to add support for additional networks and ecosystems as we aim to provide the greatest inventory of assets to our users.

Today we support 2 “types” of assets for trading on Coinbase:

1. Native assets on their own network, such as ETH

2. Tokens that adhere to a supported token standard, such as Ethereum ERC20, Solana SPL, and Avalanche ARC20
