Coinbase Announces Support for EOS: Growing List of Crypto Assets

Cryptocurrency

Coinbase has announced that from today, EOS will be supported by its custodial wallet. Coinbase users can now buy, sell, receive, convert, and store crypto on the platform as well as exchange it against fiat currencies that are supported. EOS is currently among the top cryptocurrencies, and it is ranked fifth largest in terms of circulation.

EOS Now Available on Coinbase Wallet

Coinbase tweeted that it is launching EOS on its website as well as in the Android and iOS Coinbase apps, so users will need to update their apps for them to be able to buy, send, sell, receive, convert, and store EOS. The American exchange consumer platform has indicated that more updates will be available once EOS is fully live.

According to Coinbase, EOS will be available in most jurisdictions where the exchange operates, except for the state of New York and the United Kingdom with the former having reportedly been strict towards crypto assets of all kinds. The firm has indicated that additional jurisdictions are likely to be added soon.

Coinbase Follows Customer Requests

According to the exchange, its customers have been requesting the company increase its offering and give customers more options for buying and selling various cryptocurrencies. It appears that the exchange that was initially against cryptos not linked to Bitcoin is finally agreeing to its customers’ needs, especially now that its profits are expected to decline in FY2019.

Until the start of the fourth quarter of 2018, the exchange had a strict listing policy, having added only five cryptocurrencies since its inception. However, Coinbase reviewed its Digital Assets Framework to enable it to expand on the number of crypto assets offered.

The support of Coinbase for EOS comes just before the June 1 announcement by Block.one, which is the company behind the EOS protocol.
