Coinbase continues to expand its trading offerings with new listings, further embracing the growing demand for altcoins.
The exchange has officially added Popcat (POPCAT) and Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), two Solana-based memecoins, marking its latest move in the sector.
These additions come shortly after Coinbase placed both tokens, along with MORPHO, on its roadmap for potential listings.
In recent months, Coinbase has rapidly introduced new altcoins, particularly memecoins, which generate significant trading volume and, in turn, higher transaction fees.
This trend reflects a broader industry shift, with major exchanges increasingly embracing the memecoin sector.
Meanwhile, Binance’s founder Changpeng Zhao recently suggested that centralized exchanges should expand their token offerings to match the variety available on decentralized platforms—an unexpected stance given his past support for a more selective listing approach.
While Bitcoin continues to capture attention with its strong 2025 outlook, several altcoins may be facing near-term turbulence.
BlackRock is making another assertive move into digital assets, quietly expanding its crypto portfolio with sizable purchases of both Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Ethereum appears to be entering a pivotal stage, with subtle shifts across its ecosystem hinting at a potential breakout.
Ethereum could one day surpass Bitcoin in value, not through speculation, but by anchoring a new kind of financial system, according to a key blockchain executive.
