It also provided a list of 50 assets that are up for review for a potential listing. The change comes into effect immediately, with Coinbase saying that it would be \u201cproviding as much information symmetry as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.coinbase.com\/increasing-transparency-for-new-asset-listings-on-coinbase-e06f2edb095e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">blog post<\/a> itself acts as a test for the new transparency scheme, with Coinbase unveiling the assets that are under consideration for listing in the second quarter of 2022. Coinbase listed several assets for both the Ethereum and Solana networks \u2014 50 in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/total-ethereum-supply-staked\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ethereum<\/a> network, some of the most prominent assets are Binance USD, BiFi, Gemini USD, and Wrapped Ampleforth, though there are 45 in total. On Solana, the tokens under consideration are Apricot Finance, Bitspawn, Green Satoshi Token, Media Network, and Realy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coinbase does not think that the list is not an exhaustive one, though it\u2019s certainly the case that these assets are the most likely to see a listing. Writing about why these 50 assets were picked, Coinbase said that it only considers assets that meet its standards for legal, compliance, and technical security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fifty assets is a large number, and Coinbase\u2019s report was bound to upset someone in the already wild crypto community. Members of the investing public, including some influential figures, have already criticized Coinbase\u2019s choices for a potential listing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Coinbase is in their flop era \ud83d\udc4e\ud83d\udc4e\ud83d\udc4e <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4T6SFehSFG\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/4T6SFehSFG<\/a><\/p>&mdash; 12 year old with a credit card (@12yearoldwithcc) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/12yearoldwithcc\/status\/1513627642322321409?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">April 11, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Crypto Community Not Too Happy With Coinbase\u2019s Choice of Assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The crypto community is not altogether happy with the list of assets up for a potential listing.
