Coinbase Lists Ethereum Rival Avalanche, Price Gets a Modest Bump

[RSRS]

Avalanche is now available to trade on Coinbase and its Android and iOS mobile apps. Users can from today trade, send, receive and store AVAX on the standard Coinbase platform, according to an announcement from the exchange.

Avalanche (listed as AVAX) was already available on Coinbase Pro as of yesterday, the exchange’s “professional” trading platform. The price of AVAX popped 6% yesterday, though it's only up a modest 2.6% today.

The cryptocurrency is the twelfth-most valuable digital asset, with a market cap of over $14 billion. Like Solana and other next-gen blockchain platforms, Avalanche is often billed as an “Ethereum killer,” meaning it aims to compete with Ethereum, the network behind the second-biggest crypto by market cap.

AVAX is launching on https://t.co/bCG11KMQ6s & in the iOS & Android apps within the next 15 mins. You may need to update your app to buy, sell, convert, send, receive or store AVAX. We will update when all are fully live. https://t.co/2klJShUUJF
