Why Coinbase Will Be Listing New Tokens Sooner Than We Think

“Today we’re announcing a new process that will allow us to rapidly list most digital assets that are compliant with local law, by satisfying listing requests in a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction manner. In practice, this means some new assets listed on our platform may only be available to customers in select jurisdictions for a period of time.”

“The new process begins with a form for issuers to submit assets for listing at Coinbase, which we will evaluate against our digital asset framework. At our discretion, we may choose to list some assets on the basis of our own evaluation, even in the absence of an application. In other cases, we will attempt to give quick, specific reasons for the approval or rejection of particular assets.”

“Because listing announcements will become more frequent, we expect to publicly announce the addition of new assets only at or near the time of public launch across one or more Coinbase products. Finally, in addition to adding more assets to the platform, we will augment our tools and educational materials to help customers learn about assets in order to make their own decisions. We think of Coinbase as the global bridge from fiat to crypto, from the fragmented financial system of today to the open financial system of the future.”
