It’s no secret that many consumers feel overwhelmed when trying to research and learn about cryptocurrencies. We’ve heard from our customers that they are always looking for trusted sources of information and, as one of the world’s leading exchanges, we’re committed to offering educational resources that help them navigate the world of cryptocurrency.
Starting today, we’re testing new ways for customers to explore and view the top 50 cryptocurrencies (as of today) by market cap — most of which are not available to trade on Coinbase. Designed to be a starting point to learn about new assets, customers can view historic trading data, current market cap, a description of the asset, and links to relevant white papers and project websites*. Over time, we intend to experiment with various formats and types of information to share with customers.
It’s important to note that the educational page for an asset that is not available for trading is entirely based on the current market cap of the asset. The informational asset pages are meant to be an educational resource for customers and do not mean that Coinbase intends to support any specific asset in the future. Any announcements about new assets that are being considered for support on Coinbase will be announced via our blog and Twitter, per our process for adding new assets.
At Coinbase, we care deeply about making buying and selling cryptocurrency easy for everyone. To do that requires empowering our customers to explore and educate themselves about the breadth of cryptocurrencies available — even when they can’t buy or sell those assets on Coinbase. We plan to continue making more educational resources available over time.
