Coinbase, that paragon of American virtue, has finally relented and agreed to list BNB, the token of its arch-nemesis Binance. One might call it a truce, though it smells more like a tactical retreat. The exchange, with the subtlety of a marching band, warns users not to send BNB via networks other than the BNB Smart Chain-lest their funds vanish like a hare in a foxhole.
Trading for BNB-USD will commence when the universe aligns its liquidity stars. Or perhaps when Coinbaseās legal team finishes its tea. The token will grace Coinbase.com, the app, and Advanced, while institutions sip their coffee at Coinbase Exchange. A true tour de force of accessibility.
Coinbase will add support for BNB on the BNB Smart Chain. Do not send this asset over other networks or your funds may be lost.
The opening of our BNB-USD trading pair will begin when liquidity conditions are met, in regions where trading is supported.

At the time of writing, the BNB market on Coinbase was still a ghost town. A fitting metaphor for crypto in 2025.

A Tragicomedy of Chains and Chains
This decision, years in the making, is less a handshake and more a grudging nod between two old foes. Coinbase and Binance, once locked in a duel of regulatory ideologies, now share the same table over lukewarm coffee. The inclusion of BNB, the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, arrives after Coinbase dabbled in BNB futures-a small olive branch tossed into a hurricane of mutual distrust.
Assets added to the roadmap today: BNB (BNB)

Binanceās former CEO, CZ, took to X to demand Coinbase list more BNB Chain projects, claiming Binance has āa lot of Base projects.ā A plea that reeks of desperation, akin to asking a bear to share its honey. Meanwhile, Coinbaseās roadmap hints at a future where rivalry is optional, and profit is eternal.
Strategic and Market Implications
Coinbaseās move is a masterstroke of pragmatism-or perhaps a midlife crisis. By listing BNB, it signals a willingness to embrace assets from the other side of the crypto aisle, even if that side smells faintly of Binanceās notorious compliance tea. Analysts, ever the optimists, argue this is a step toward a unified exchange ecosystem. Others, less charitably, suggest itās a ploy to keep users from migrating to Binanceās āfriendlierā shores.
The listing may also bolster Coinbaseās global appeal, though one wonders if itās too late to save its soul. For BNB, the spotlight on Coinbase could be a lifeline-or a gilded cage. As for Binance, this dance with Coinbase feels like a Shakespearean tragedy where everyone forgets their lines.
In the grand theater of crypto, where alliances shift like sand and every transaction whispers of betrayal, Coinbaseās BNB listing is a plot twist worthy of a Chekhovian gun. Whether it fires-or simply rusts-remains to be seen. šš£
