Coinbase Pro added that the pairs of SOL-USD, SOL-BTC, SOL-EUR, SOL-GBP, and SOL-USDT order books would be unveiled in three phases, including post-only, limit-only, and full trading. According to Coinbase Pro:
“If at any point one of the new order books does not meet our assessment for a healthy and orderly market, we may keep the book in one state for a longer period of time or suspend trading as per our Trading Rules.”
Coinbase Pro to list more assets
With the addition of SOL, Coinbase maintained that the platform is still exploring additional assets that meet listing criteria. However, SOL is not yet available on the main Coinbase.com platform alongside other consumer mobile apps.
Solana’s underlying goal is to improve blockchain scalability by leveraging proof-of-stake consensus and proof-of-history.
Solana protocol is a product of Solana Labs, with support from investors including Multicoin Capital, Slow Ventures, Foundation Capital, 500 Startups, and Abstract Ventures.
