Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has added BNB, which is associated with rival crypto exchange Binance, to its roadmap for listing.
This step marks the first time Coinbase has directly signaled support for the main asset of the Binance ecosystem.
This development follows recent debates in the crypto industry regarding listing fees and transparency. Earlier this week, Binance denied “unfounded and defamatory” allegations by Coinbase Ventures-backed Limitless Labs CEO CJ Hetherington that the exchange was charging fees for token listings.
Amid the controversy, Coinbase’s head of the Base network, Jesse Pollak, drew attention by stating that listing fees on exchanges “should be 0%.” This statement sparked calls from the community for Coinbase to “lead by example” and list BNB for free.
