Coinbase, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced a new listing as part of its ongoing expansion efforts. This latest addition comes on the heels of a series of listings aimed at broadening Coinbase's offerings and enhancing its appeal to a wider range of investors.
In a tweet, Coinbase stated it will add support for Across Protocol (ACX) on the Ethereum network (ERC-20 token). The trading of this token is expected to begin on Aug. 21, 2024, if liquidity conditions are met. Once sufficient supply of this asset is established, trading of the ACX-USD trading pair is expected to launch in phases, the announcement indicated.
The Across Protocol (ACX) token soared as much as 14% after the news of its upcoming Coinbase listing surfaced on social media before settling to trade at $0.392 at press time, up 4% in the last 24 hours.
