Jesse Pollak Push for More Coinbase Listings

The Base executive, pointed out that currently, the model is based on scarcity, so he stressed on the need for an abudance mindset

Base Founder Jesse Pollak has expressed his desire to expand Coinbase's listings to include a wide range of tokens from Base and other blockchains. Pollak stated that he wants to see as many cryptocurrencies as possible listed on Coinbase.

In a recent post, Pollak shared that he has been working closely with Coinbase's CLO, Paul Grewal, to enhance the exchange's support for developers. Their discussions have also covered the impact of regulations on the listing landscape.

Emphasizing the need for abundance in the current scarcity-driven model, Pollak highlighted the importance of early listings, slow-cooking projects, memes, utility, and culture. He noted that listing coins from teams with scalable products that cater to real users benefits not only crypto but also Base and Coinbase.

Pollak also stressed the significance of including tokens from talented builders within the Base ecosystem. Currently, five new assets are live on Base: B3, MORPHO, VVV, MOG, and TOSHI. Pollak praised these coins, highlighting the outstanding builders behind them who deserve ample recognition and support.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has acknowledged the challenges in the coin listing process. As a regulated exchange, Coinbase is subject to SEC rules that limit the tokens it can list.

Armstrong highlighted the need to rethink the listing process given the vast number of tokens being created. He proposed a block list method to restrict problematic tokens, suggesting that user feedback and scans could be used to evaluate a token's authenticity.

Armstrong also mentioned that Coinbase would continue integrating native Decentralized exchanges (DEX), enabling users to trade seamlessly without worrying about whether transactions occur on a DEX or a centralized platform (CEX).
