The major crypto exchange will list the top-ten token for trading this week. Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) has announced that it will list DOT, the native cryptocurrency of Parity Technologies’ Polkadot blockchain. Coinbase allowed users to deposit DOT beginning yesterday, Monday, June 14. It will allow trading at 9AM Pacific Time on Wednesday, June 16, if the exchange has sufficient liquidity. Users will be able to trade DOT for various fiat currencies (USD, EUR, and GBP) and select cryptocurrencies (BTC and USDT). DOT will then be listed on Coinbase’s retail trading application at a later date that is still unspecified. Coinbase did not explain why it chose to list DOT. However, with a market cap of $23.1 million, Polkadot is the ninth largest cryptocurrency on the market today, making it an important asset for Coinbase to include in its exchange listings. Coinbase described Polkadot as a high-performance platform for cross-chain transactions. It added that the DOT token acts as Polkadot’s governance token—it is used for staking and security, and it is used to attach new chains to the network. Coinbase’s decision to list DOT comes weeks after it decided to list Dogecoin (DOGE)—a listing that investors have demanded for years. Other recent listings include Sushiswap (SUSHI), Tether (USDT), and Cardano (ADA). Several other assets are also under review as of October 2020, including TRON (TRX) and VeChain (VET).Key Takeaways
