Coinbase announced today that it is working with local banks and regulators to explore the addition of 31 new cryptocurrencies on its exchange. Some notable additions include Maker, XRP, and EOS. According to Coinbase "adding new assets requires significant exploratory work from both a technical and compliance standpoint," and that the exchange "cannot guarantee that all the assets we are evaluating will ultimately be listed for trading." Coinbase also added that some assets may be listed solely for customers to buy and sell, without the ability to send and receive using third-party wallets. Most recently, Coinbase added BAT, ZEC, and ZRX. (Source: Coinbase)
