In the latest development, Coinbase has announced the addition of Gigachad and Turbo to its coin listing roadmap, signaling potential future listings on the exchange. This move reflects Coinbase’s ongoing strategy of embracing various cryptocurrencies, including niche and meme-based tokens.
Gigachad and Turbo are both considered part of the meme coin category, that are often driven by internet culture and community enthusiasm rather than technical utility. Gigachad (GIGA) is a meme coin inspired by the image of “Gigachad”. Turbo (TURBO) is an ERC-20 token based on the Ethereum blockchain. While Turbo is a meme coin created using ChatGPT.
Coinbase’s asset roadmap indicates cryptocurrencies being considered for inclusion. Although being on the roadmap doesn’t guarantee immediate listing, it is a crucial step towards broader accessibility.
Last month, Coinbase onboarded PEPE and FLOKI to its trading platform. Earlier this week, Coinbase added TikTok-inspired meme coin Moo Deng (MOODENG) to its listing roadmap, expanding its cryptocurrency offerings during Q4 2024. The price of Moo Deng (MOODENG) surged 80% within an hour after Coinbase announced its plans to list the token.
Notably, If GIGA and TURBO are fully listed, they will join other meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu that have already found a place on Coinbase.
In a latest development, Coinbase has added Apple Pay integration, allowing app developers to include a cryptocurrency purchase option within their apps. This feature is part of Coinbase Onramp, which aims to simplify converting traditional currencies into cryptocurrencies.
The move signifies a turning point for the cryptocurrency ecosystem, as two major tech and financial players join forces to simplify the complex process of acquiring digital currencies. By leveraging Apple Pay’s widespread adoption and Coinbase’s crypto expertise, this partnership could redefine how consumers and developers interact with cryptocurrencies.
