Low-Cap Ethereum Altcoin Pops As Coinbase Announces Full Crypto Rollout
US crypto exchange giant Coinbase is announcing the full rollout of Aurora (AURORA) across all retail trading platforms.
According to the project’s website, Aurora “is an Ethereum (ETH) Virtual Machine created by the team at the NEAR Protocol, delivering a turn-key solution for developers to operate their apps on an Ethereum-compatible, high-throughput, scalable and future-safe platform, with low transaction costs for their users.”
“Aurora (AURORA) is now live on coinbase.com and in the Coinbase iOS & Android apps with the Experimental label. Coinbase customers can log in to buy, sell, convert, send, receive or store these assets.”
Aurora is up 9% over the last 24 hours on the news.
Coinbase also announced support for Ethereum-based tokens Convex Finance (CVX) and Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) today.
“Coinbase will add support for Convex Finance (CVX) and Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) on the Ethereum network (ERC-20 token). Do not send this asset over other networks or your funds may be lost.”
Convex Finance is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform allowing Curve DAO (CRV) liquidity providers to earn a share of trading fees on Curve without staking liquidity there. CVX is up 3.5% over the last 24 hours.
Ocean Protocol is a blockchain ecosystem connecting data providers and consumers. Ocean lets users monetize, share and sell their data transparently, safely and securely without giving up privacy. The OCEAN token is used to make payments as well as secure and govern the network. OCEAN is up 1.5% over the last 24 hours.
