Coinbase has unveiled its criteria for listing new tokens, emphasizing a thorough evaluation process. The exchange conducts three main reviews: legal, compliance mitigation, and technical security. Initially, Coinbase determines if a token qualifies as a security under current legal standards, as demonstrated by the suspension and later relisting of XRP. The platform also prioritizes consumer safety by screening for illicit activities and performing technical audits to detect security vulnerabilities. Tokens that promise future returns, lack decentralization, or are missing essential information are generally excluded from consideration. The duration of the listing process varies, depending on the token's complexity and public interest, with reviews typically completed in under 30 days. Tokens with significant trading volumes and robust community backing are given priority in the listing process.
