Coinbase Adds Solana NFT and Six Altcoins to Listing Roadmap
Coinbase has added a Solana-based NFT token and six altcoins to its listing roadmap as part of a phased listing approach designed to limit speculative volatility. The exchange introduced Infinex (INX) to the roadmap with a listing expected within 24 hours (though it may take up to a week or be canceled in rare cases). Other tokens on the roadmap are MegaETH (MEGA), Energy Dollar (ENERGY), Doodles (DOOD), Moonbirds (BIRB) — slated to list today — Tria (TRIA), and Zama (ZAMA). Coinbase said it will use staged listing modes (order-only then normal trading) to smooth integration and reduce market disruption. The move signals continued expansion of Coinbase’s token offerings, which can affect trading volumes and prices of tokens that receive exchange support. Traders should watch order-only phases, expected listing timings, and liquidity changes around each listing for short-term volatility and possible price discovery opportunities.
Neutral
Exchange listings typically produce short-term volatility and trading volume spikes for the assets involved, but on their own they do not guarantee sustained price trends. Coinbase’s phased listing process (order-only then normal trading) is explicitly designed to dampen speculative mania and reduce immediate liquidity shocks. That mitigates extreme short-term volatility compared with unsheltered listings, suggesting a limited and controlled market impact. Historically, tokens listed by major exchanges often see a rapid pump around listing announcements and first trades, followed by profit-taking; longer-term performance depends on fundamental adoption and liquidity. Therefore the near-term effect is likely an event-driven uptick in volume and price swings for the listed tokens (bullish for short scalp opportunities), while the medium-to-long-term outlook remains neutral absent broader market catalysts or project-specific news.
