Coinbase Custody is exploring the addition of several assets, including all ERC-20 tokens. Coinbase Custody is a service for institutional investors looking to securely store their assets - in other words, this doesn’t make every asset on the list available for trading. However, this would give Coinbase the infrastructure it needs to add these coins to their listings in the future if they so choose.

They will aim to leverage supply chain solutions to increase accountability, as well as making any needed recall processes more efficient. They will be testing in Shanghai and have been tasked to provide traceability solutions by 2020.
