Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, surprisingly announced yesterday that it has added Binance Coin (BNB), the native token of the Binance ecosystem, to its listing roadmap.
This step marks the first time Coinbase has directly supported BNB, the main token of the Binance ecosystem.
This development follows recent debates in the crypto industry regarding listing fees and transparency. Earlier this week, Coinbase Ventures-backed Limitless Labs CEO CJ Hetherington claimed that the exchange was demanding a commission for token listings, a claim Binance denied as “unfounded and defamatory.”
While discussions regarding Binance altcoin listings continue, CZ initially said that it was a huge loss for the exchange not to list BNB, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
CZ then made another post, directly referencing Coinbase’s BNB listing and calling on Coinbase to list more BNBChain projects.
Recalling that Binance has listed more Base projects, CZ said that although BNB Chain is a more active network, he does not think Coinbase has listed a single BNBChain project yet.
“I also encourage Coinbase to list more BNBChain projects.
Binance has listed several Base projects. I don’t think Coinbase has listed a single BNBChain project yet. It’s also a more active chain.
It’s not an exchange. I’m just recommending it because we’re all about openness, inclusivity, etc. I also think it’s good for change.”
Moreover, I would urge Coinbase to list more @BNBChain projects. @Binance has listed several Base projects. Don’t think Coinbase has listed a single @BNBChain project yet. And it’s a more active chain.
Not a trade. Just recommending, given we are on the topic of being open,… https://t.co/16WkVUM6Om
