Leading cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has announced that it is currently exploring the addition of a number of new assets on its platform.
The assets currently under review include Cardano (ADA), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Stellar Lumens (XLM), Zcash (ZEC), and 0x (ZRX).
Unlike Ethereum Classic, which is technically similar to Ethereum, these assets require additional work that necessitates contact with many external parties. To ensure that this news comes to you directly from us, we are publicly announcing our intentions.

“We are making this announcement internally at Coinbase and to the public at the same time to remain transparent with our customers about support for future assets,” the announcement reads.
Previously, the company has been accused of insider trading ahead of the launch of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) trading on its platform. A class action lawsuit was also filed in this regard in March.
Please note that we are not guaranteeing the listing of any of these assets. We may list them with partial support, or only in specific jurisdictions. In particular, some assets may become available in other countries before the US.

“Our listing process may result in some of these assets being listed solely for customers to buy and sell, without the ability to send or receive using a local wallet. We may also only enable certain ways to interact with these assets through our site, such as supporting only deposits and withdrawals from transparent Zcash addresses. Finally, some of these assets may be offered in other jurisdictions prior to being listed in the US,” Coinbase said.
