COINBASE SHOWS NEW INTEREST IN RIPPLE AND CONFIRMS INTEREST IS MAINTAINED IN LISTING STELLAR AND CAR

[PRIBO247]

In mid-July of this year, Coinbase had listed Stellar and Cardano
amongst a list of five cryptos that had been shortlisted for
integration onto the platform as base currencies.
Since that time, the other candidates on that list – Basic
Attention Token (BAT), ZCash (ZEC) and 0x (ZRX) – have seen
themselves incorporated in some form onto the platform whilst
Stellar and Cardano remained unsupported, leaving some
wondering whether there were plans to proceed with their
integration at all.

In a blog published only a few hours ago, however, Coinbase has
confirmed that its interest in Stellar (XLM) and Cardano (ADA) is
maintained, but appears now to be hinting that support may be
limited to a more basic listing.

Expanded List of Candidates Includes Ripple
In the same blog, Coinbase also pointed out that its overall goal
is to provide at least basic support for a sufficient number of
tokens to allow it to capture over 90% of the market
capitalisation of all cryptos which meet with the exchange’s
criteria – as set out in its Digital Asset Framework – which
cover “factors like security, compliance, and the project’s
alignment with our mission of creating an open financial system
for the world.”

The list of 31 candidates that are currently being assessed
includes some of the highest profile projects in crypto, including
Enjin Coin (ENJ), Ziliqa (ZQA), Augur (REP) and Ripple (XRP),
arguably 2018’s biggest winner in terms of visibility and utility
adoption having now consolidated its position as the leading
alt-coin – but gives no hint that Stellar and Cardano can expect
the favourable treatment alluded to in July’s original declaration.
