Coinbase thinks they’re redefining crypto listings with their “transparent, merit-based review process.” Sure, because nothing says “merit” like a one-week due diligence and a two-week trading window. 🕒
Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) decided on Sept. 10 to finally clarify its digital asset listing process-like a magician explaining their tricks mid-trick. Project teams, if you have the time to write a whitepaper, third-party audit, and your entire life story, go ahead and apply. Because nothing says “investor protection” like drowning in paperwork. 📄
Approved tokens then go on a “structured rollout”-because chaos is too unpredictable. Deposits, then auction-based price discovery (because letting the market decide is so 2017), then full trading. Coinbase Markets also addressed community frustration on X with the emotional support of a warm hug: 🤗
We hear you – sometimes our listings process can feel unclear. We want to do better. We’re bringing more transparency to our review standards, including common roadblocks, and timelines.
The company emphasized: “The application is free and merit-based.” Free? Sure, if you have a team of engineers, a legal department, and a personal therapist to handle the stress. 💸 Coinbase added: “Listing timelines depend on your project’s complexity and the completeness of your application.” Oh, and if you’re on Ethereum or Solana, lucky you! New blockchains? Good luck building infrastructure while crying into your keyboard. 💻😭
Alongside technical work, Coinbase examines liquidity, market demand, and project credibility. Because who doesn’t want their token vetted like a suspect in a police line-up? 👮♂️ Its three core reviews-legal, compliance, and technical security-form the foundation of its process, ensuring consumer protection and risk management. Or, you know, just making sure you don’t accidentally list a token that’s basically a scam. 🚨
For issuers focused on timing, Coinbase clarified: ⏱️
On average, our due diligence on a token takes one week, and we can enable trading within two weeks of approval.
“However, the total timeline can be significantly shorter or longer, and is based on factors such as the token’s complexity, whether we support its network, the responsiveness of the project team, and the time it takes us to complete the technical work for trading and custody.” Oh, and “in general, the time from our review of an asset to its listing is under 30 days.” Because nothing says “efficiency” like a 30-day window that could technically include a hurricane delay. 🌪️
While critics argue the process slows innovation, industry advocates counter that robust due diligence strengthens credibility. Because nothing says “innovation” like waiting 30 days to trade a token. 🚀
