Coinbase revolutionizes the crypto market: new rules for token listings!
Coinbase is planning a major overhaul of its token listing process. CEO Brian Armstrong announced these changes on January 26, 2025 via Platform X. The reason for the revision is the exponential growth of new cryptocurrencies, which makes manual valuation of approximately one million new tokens created every week impractical. To meet this need, Coinbase is considering a “block-list” model instead of the current “allow-list” approach.
Planned additions include automated on-chain data scanning and customer reviews. Armstrong criticized the current multi-tiered review process as unsustainable and called on regulators to develop more pragmatic strategies to manage the growing number of cryptocurrencies. Coinbase has been particularly criticized by Tron founder Justin Sun, who complains that Tron (TRX) has been in the testing process for seven years without being listed. Sun accused Coinbase of excessive fees for token listings and cited a demand of $330 million for TRX.
Bitcoin and market analysis
The Bitcoin price currently remains below $100,000 and is at $96,000. Bitcoin's market capitalization is $1.9 trillion, while Ethereum has a price of $2,700 and a market capitalization of $327 billion. Bitcoin dominance is almost 60%, while Ethereum market share has fallen to 10%. A recent speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell influenced the market as interest rate cuts were ruled out.
In an emerging development, SBC Medical Group Holdings plans to purchase 1 billion yen worth of Bitcoin between February and May 2025, to be settled through Coinbase, to bolster financial stability. Armstrong expressed optimism about the future of Bitcoin and expects the Bitcoin price to rise to several million dollars in the long term. He emphasized the increasing acceptance of Bitcoin by institutional investors and the importance of clear legal regulation in the USA. In this context, he spoke to several finance ministers around the world about the possibility of a national Bitcoin reserve.
Developments in the crypto market show some stability while strategic investments and regulatory adjustments are underway. At least 16 US states have already proposed Bitcoin reserve laws, and states like Arizona and Utah plan to invest up to 10% of their public funds in Bitcoin. These advances could further boost institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies, while the changes at Coinbase may increase the efficiency and security of the listing.
