Coinbase exchange further noted that the goal of the new addition is to offer support for all assets that meet its technical standards and also comply with applicable regulations.

This would invariably enable it to assess important factors like security, compliance, and the project’s alignment with the Coinbase exchange mission to creating an open financial system for the world.
