Coinbase Plans Major Expansion, Will List 50-80 New Cryptocurrencies in H1 2025

Crypto in 2025 is in for a major haul as Coinbase exchange is planning a major expansion, with plans to list a massive 50-80 new cryptocurrencies

Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, is planning to list a massive 50-80 new cryptocurrencies in the first half of 2025. This move has all likelihood of triggering a surge in trading volume and pushing prices to new heights.

In a blog post, Coinbase reported a 6200% increase in its average daily trading volume in the past year as the exchange expanded its perpetual futures listings from 15 to 106. In December, the exchange recorded all-time high open interests and trading volumes. Now, it plans to scale its operations further as a pro-crypto regulatory regime begins in the United States.

Coinbase will focus more on day-1 listings. It wants to give its users access to emerging markets and projects. Some of the large market cap tokens that Coinbase hasn’t listed include Tron (TRX), BNB, Toncoin (TON), Hyperliquid (HYPE), Mantra (OM), and Kaspa (KAS). These cryptocurrencies have seen massive gains in the past year, skyrocketing in value while claiming billions in valuations.

BNB and TRX are the only cryptocurrencies in the top 10 that are not listed on Coinbase. Both the digital assets have shot up around 120% in the past year and printed new all-time highs in 2024. A listing on Coinbase could increase the token’s volume as more investors will have access to purchase them.

OM hails from the RWA sector, which is expected to be a trillion dollar industry by 2030 while Kaspa is focused on the scalability of blockchain transactions. Hyperliquid represents the integration of blockchain and AI and the TON ecosystem could also see a massive surge in popularity with backing from Telegram. These cryptocurrencies could see a substantial boost in their prices upon a Coinbase listing.

The integration of new trading products will be a key focus for the exchange in 2025. A Request for Quote (RFQ) feature will be introduced to enhance the liquidity on the digital asset trading platform. It will allow large orders to be filled seamlessly, addressing depth challenges. This will enable institutional traders and professional individual traders to participate confidently, said Coinbase.

Coinbase will also introduce new investment instruments in 2025. The exchange will be adding options trading and expanding into fixed income products. It will introduce a crypto index fund and a venture capital fund, both of which will be traded on the exchange.

The exchange will also be introducing a hardware wallet and a non-custodial mobile application. These products will be integrated with the Coinbase exchange, enabling users to trade cryptocurrencies securely without having to trust a third-party custodian.
