I want as many coins as humanly possible listed on @coinbase, from @base and beyond.

More day 1s, more slow cooks, more memes, more utility, more culture, more defi, more networks. More all of it.

In the current model there's scarcity and we need abundance. Top priority.

I've spent the last few months in deep conversation with the @coinbase listings team on how they can better support and lift up builders.

Jesse Pollak Push for More Coinbase Listings

The Base executive, pointed out that currently, the model is based on scarcity, so he stressed on the need for an abudance mindset, early listings, gradual projects, memes, utility, culture, DeFi, and various networks. He noted that listing coins from teams with scalable products that serve real users is very beneficial for not just crypto but also Base, and Coinbase.

Pollak also emphasized the importance of including tokens from talented builders within the Base ecosystem. As of today, there are five new assets on Base, B3, MORPHO, VVV, MOG, and TOSHI. Pollak praised these coins, saying they come from outstanding builders who deserve enough recognition and support.

Co-founder and CEO of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong in a post, acknowledged the struggles with the process of listing a coin. Firstly, Coinbase as a regulated exchange, is expected to follows the SEC rules, which limit the amount of tokens it can list.

We need to rethink our listing process at @coinbase given there are ~1m tokens a week being created now, and growing. High quality problem to have, but evaluating each one by one is no longer feasible. And regulators need to understand that applying for approval for each one is

He added that the exchanges team needed to rethink the process of listing a token, given that about one million tokens are created every week and the number continues to growing. He expressed that it is a high-quality problem, as the process of verifying this tokens one after the other is not doable.

Armstrong proposed replacing the strict approval system with a block list method, restricting problematic tokens. He also suggested leveraging user feedback and scans to properly evaluate a token authenticity.

Armstrong Advocates for Seamless DEX Integration

Armstrong added that Coinbase would contunually integrate native Decentralized exchanges (DEX), so users can trade seamlessly without concern over whether transactions occur on a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) or a centralized platform (CEX).
