Overview
- Coinbase stressed that roadmap inclusion signals intent rather than a guarantee, with a separate launch announcement to follow once market‑making support and infrastructure are in place.
- Users were warned not to deposit BNB before an official launch post, with Coinbase noting that premature transfers could result in loss of funds.
- The Blue Carpet program gives issuers direct access to Coinbase’s listings team, asset‑page update requests, referral discounts for services such as MiCA support and market‑maker matching, and limited Coinbase One seats, with applications and listings free.
- The move arrived during a renewed industry dispute over listing practices and fees, following allegations against Binance that it denied, plus public calls from Coinbase’s Jesse Pollak for zero‑cost listings and earlier criticism from Arca’s Jeff Dorman.
- BNB saw a brief price bump after the roadmap update before retracing, while Binance’s Changpeng Zhao welcomed broader access and urged Coinbase to consider more BNB Chain projects.
