Coinbase Wants to List Your Crypto Asset

In a move that could rapidly broaden the number of cryptocurrencies listed, Coinbase announced Thursday a new issuance portal called Asset Hub.

“Today, Coinbase supports trading for over 40 crypto assets on our exchange and Coinbase Custody supports over 90 crypto assets,” the firm’s chief product officer, Surojit Chatterjee, wrote in a blog post. “Our directive is to list every compliant asset possible. Streamlining the listing process is step one.”

Any asset issuer can apply, Coinbase said. Then it goes through the process and either gets approved or denied.

“We will continue to maintain a standard evaluation framework to ensure every asset we support meets our standards for legal, compliance, and technical security review,” Chatterjee wrote. “Issuers may be subject to regulatory approval in some jurisdictions and we therefore cannot guarantee whether or when any asset will be approved.”
