A major cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase has broadened its cryptocurrency offerings for customers in New York, adding five new digital assets to its platform. Starting now, New Yorkers can trade NEAR Protocol (NEAR), Aero (AERO), VeChain (VET), VeThor Token (VTHO), and PayPal USD (PYUSD) on Coinbase’s website and mobile apps.
This expansion marks a significant step for Coinbase as it aims to enhance its presence in one of the most heavily regulated cryptocurrency markets in the U.S. By including these new assets, the platform provides New York traders and investors with more options to diversify their portfolios.
Coinbase’s move is part of its broader strategy to offer a diverse range of cryptocurrencies and attract both retail and institutional investors.
Previously, in June, Coinbase had also added five other digital assets, such as Render Token (RNDR) and Hedera (HBAR), to its New York offerings. This approach has typically led to increased market engagement and liquidity.
While the recent additions have not yet caused significant price changes, the new listings could potentially draw considerable interest. For example, NEAR Protocol (NEAR) saw a slight dip of 1.69% to $3.94, and Aero (AERO) fell by 2.70% to $0.639.
On the other hand, VeChain (VET) and VeThor Token (VTHO) showed minor gains, with prices rising by 0.37% and 1.17%, respectively. PayPal USD (PYUSD) remained stable at $1.00.
This expansion not only diversifies Coinbase’s offerings but also reflects its ongoing effort to boost engagement in the New York cryptocurrency market. As more assets become available, traders and investors can look forward to more opportunities and increased market activity.
