Coinbase, the largest US-based digital currency exchange, has officially announced that it is “exploring the addition” of five new cryptocurrencies to its platform. The five cryptocurrencies being considered are Cardano (ADA), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Stellar Lumens (XLM), Zcash (ZEC), and 0x (ZRX).
REMAINING TRANSPARENT
Coinbase’s announcement claims to arrive for both employees and the public at the same time. Notes Coinbase:
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.
Coinbase has come under fire in the past — particularly regarding its listing of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), which preceded allegations of insider trading.
