Starting Today Tuesday March 23, transfer ANKR, CRV and STORJ into your Coinbase Pro account ahead of trading. Support for ANKR, CRV and STORJ will be available in all Coinbase’s supported jurisdictions with the exception of CRV in New York State. Trading will begin on or after 9AM Pacific Time (PT) Thursday March 25, if liquidity conditions are met.

One of the most common requests we receive from customers is to be able to trade more assets on our platform. Per the terms of our listing process, we anticipate supporting more assets that meet our standards over time. Most recently we have added trading support for Cardano (ADA), SushiSwap (SUSHI), Polygon (MATIC) SKALE (SKL), The Graph (GRT), Aave, (AAVE), Bancor (BNT), Synthetix (SNX), Filecoin (FIL), NuCypher (NU), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), Balancer (BAL), Ren (REN), Uniswap (UNI), yearn.finance (YFI), Loopring (LRC), UMA (UMA) Celo (CGLD), Numeraire (NMR), Band (BAND), Compound (COMP), Maker (MKR) and OmiseGo (OMG), along with supporting additional European and UK order books. Coinbase continues to explore support for new digital assets.

Starting immediately, we will begin accepting inbound transfers of ANKR, CRV and STORJ to Coinbase Pro. Trading will begin on or after 9AM Pacific Time (PT) Thursday March 25, if liquidity conditions are met.

Once sufficient supply of ANKR, CRV and STORJ is established on the platform, trading on our ANKR-USD, ANKR-BTC, ANKR-EUR, ANKR-GBP, CRV-USD, CRV-BTC, CRV-EUR, CRV-GBP, STORJ-USD and STORJ-BTC, order books will launch in three phases, post-only, limit-only and full trading. If at any point one of the new order books does not meet our assessment for a healthy and orderly market, we may keep the book in one state for a longer period of time or suspend trading as per our Trading Rules.

We will publish tweets from our Coinbase Pro Twitter account as each order book moves through the phases.

Ankr (ANKR) is an Ethereum token that powers Ankr, a distributed computing platform that aims to make it easy and affordable for developers to deploy and use a variety of blockchains. The ANKR token can be used to pay for services on Ankr, such as node deployment, and also acts as an incentive for network participants.

Storj (STORJ) is an Ethereum token that powers a decentralized cloud storage network called Tardigrade. After a user uploads a file to Tardigrade, pieces of each file are distributed to a global network of independent nodes. When someone requests the file, it is then recompiled securely and made available for download. This means that anyone can store files on Tardigrade without having to trust a centralized data center. Users can also earn STORJ tokens in return for providing resources to the network, including unused hard drive space and bandwidth.

Curve DAO Token (CRV) is an Ethereum token that powers Curve.fi, a decentralized exchange and automated market maker protocol. The protocol is designed to make it easy to swap between similar ERC-20 tokens, primarily stablecoins (like USDC and DAI) and Ethereum-based Bitcoin tokens (like WBTC and renBTC). In order to minimize impermanent loss, the protocol only hosts pools of similar assets. This means you can provide USDC-DAI-USDT liquidity on Curve, but not, for example, USDC-WBTC. The CRV token can be locked for various periods of time (up to 4 years) in order to vote on governance and claim protocol fees as a reward.

ANKR, CRV and STORJ are not yet available on Coinbase.com or via our Consumer mobile apps. We will make a separate announcement if and when this support is added.

You can sign up for a Coinbase Pro account here to start trading. For more information on trading ANKR, CRV and STORJ on Coinbase Pro, visit our support page.

Cardano (ADA) is a blockchain platform built on a proof-of-stake consensus protocol (called Ouroboros) that validates transactions without high energy costs. Development on Cardano uses the Haskell programming language, which is described as enabling Cardano “to pursue evidence-based development for unparalleled security and stability.” The blockchain’s native token, ADA, is named after the 19th century mathematician, Ada Lovelace.

ADA is not yet available on Coinbase.com or via our Consumer mobile apps. We will make a separate announcement if and when this support is added.

You can sign up for a Coinbase Pro account here to start trading. For more information on trading ADA on Coinbase Pro, visit our support page.

Coinbase is one of the most trusted places for companies to trade and store digital assets, leveraging years of experience managing our treasury position in cryptocurrencies.

By Brett Tejpaul, Head of Institutional Sales, Trading, Custody and Prime Services

At Coinbase, we are acutely aware of the numerous considerations that publicly traded and private companies have when it comes to the composition of their treasuries. These companies need a partner who understands their unique concerns and is able to share knowledge based on its own experience.

Since our founding in 2012, Coinbase has held bitcoin and other crypto assets on our balance sheet — and we plan to maintain an investment in crypto assets as we believe strongly in the long-term potential of the cryptoeconomy. Investing in crypto assets required us to develop new investment, accounting, and tax policies, as well as ensure we established a control environment for purposes of receiving unqualified audit opinions on our financial statements. Much like we have with Coinbase Custody, we’re happy for others to benefit from our experience.

We’ve used this experience to build a new resource to help answer the tough questions corporate leaders may be asking. In this detailed FAQ, we answer tax and accounting questions like: How do I book a digital asset purchase? How does this impact my reporting ledger and my balance sheet? And regulatory and compliance questions such as: What is the regulatory status of digital assets? Are there any risks associated with buying and storing digital assets from a regulatory perspective? Do I need any licenses? We’ve also included a set of talking points for investor relations.

We’re committed to creating a compliant digital currency exchange linked to the traditional financial system, a critical piece of infrastructure to help digital currency grow. Our investments in industry-leading technology and practices to secure data and assets have set a high bar for the industry.

Institutions across the board are building for a future that is protected from new risks; this includes building a diverse balance sheet that is adequately hedged from the traditional capital markets and monetary debasement. On the corporate side, use cases for digital assets are expanding rapidly from traditional portfolio management as an investment asset within a diversified portfolio — to accounts receivable/accounts payable, employee payroll, and commerce integration, for example.

Coinbase has efficiently executed nine and ten figure trades for some of the largest institutions in the world. Clients have selected us for our track record in security, sophisticated execution platform, 24/7/365 white glove service, and focus on regulatory compliance. Working on an agency-only basis aligns us with the interests of our clients as we seek to find the best prices available in the market. In addition, Coinbase Custody’s offline cold storage provides companies with maximum security, evident from the fact that customers have not lost funds due to a security breach of the platform.

A history of compliance and security

• One of the first crypto custodians to be issued both the SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 reports.
• One of the first trading platforms to receive the NYDFS BitLicense.
• Secured an industry-leading insurance policy in 2013 to protect both online and offline assets across all of our products — which we believe to be the largest hot wallet crime program in the insurance market.
