Coinbase, which became the first U.S. crypto company to go public in April, has been an industry leader in many things—but listing new assets was historically not one of them. This became apparent during the 2017 ICO (initial coin offering) boom when Coinbase only offered trading of three tokens beyond Bitcoin, as new rivals like Binance sprung up that offered dozens of cryptocurrencies.
Coinbase has since picked up its pace aggressively. It added 21 new assets for trading in 2020, and 29 new assets, including Polkadot and Dogecoin rival SHIB, in the first half of 2021 alone. That’s more assets added in the first half of 2021 than in any prior six-month period.
The company, which shared its full asset listing history with Decrypt, also finally added DOGE this month, years after Coinbase employees first proposed doing so.
Meanwhile, Coinbase’s custody division—in which the company has invested heavily—has already added 74 tokens to this year, for a total of 134 in total.
