Ah, dear readers, gather ’round as we regale you with the latest escapades from the bustling bazaar of cryptocurrency, a place where fortunes are made and dreams dashed faster than you can say “blockchain”! Coinbase, that grand purveyor of digital treasures, has surely been busy polishing its wares, adding not one, not two, but a sensational trio of new crypto gems to its ever-growing collection. And may I add, it appears to be providing traders with enough diversification options to make even the most committed penny-pincher feel positively extravagant! 💸
In a flurry of tweets that could almost rival the chatter of a particularly excitable parakeet, Coinbase spilled the beans on its latest offerings: the flamboyantly named PancakeSwap (CAKE), the slightly less appetizing Subsquid (SQD), and the pièce de résistance—Fartcoin (FARTCOIN). Yes, you heard it right, folks! Now, in the comfort of your own home (or indeed, while in your pajamas), you can buy, sell, convert, send, receive, or hoard these fine digital assets with a mere tap on the Coinbase iOS and Android apps. 🦙
Assets added to the roadmap today: Sonic (S) —

For those of you curious about the foundations upon which these coins rest, Fartcoin, alluding to a rather cheeky sense of humor, is based on the Solana network. Subsquid, while remaining modest, floats comfortably on the Arbitrum network, and PancakeSwap is busy flipping pancakes on Ethereum, like a hopeful chef at a Sunday brunch. 🍳
Now, if you thought the fun ended there, think again! Coinbase has also added support for Fartcoin perpetual futures on its delightful International Exchange and the ever-so-casual Coinbase Advanced. Because, you see, why not? Who wouldn’t want to dabble in futures tied to a currency so whimsically named?
And what’s this? Coinbase is not just resting on its laurels. A new asset has made its way onto the roadmap—Sonic (S). Fast and furious! Additionally, they’re extending their warm embrace to Worldcoin (WLD), expanding send and receive support across World Chain, Ethereum, and the ever-optimistic Optimism network. Eager little bee that it is, Ethena (ENA) has also waltzed its way into the Coinbase lineup.
2025: The Year of Crypto Shenanigans!
According to the latest giggle-worthy data from Coinbase, organic stablecoin transfer volume has hit astonishing heights, shattering records faster than a toddler in a toy store. December 2024, in a display of sheer exuberance, bagged a whopping $719 billion in monthly volume, followed closely by April 2025 strutting in at $717.1 billion. Impressive, wouldn’t you say? 📈
In an unexpected twist, a survey of Fortune 500 executives and small and medium-sized businesses (or what we like to call the “big wigs and the little springs”) revealed that a staggering 81% of those enlightened souls are itching to use stablecoins in their business endeavors. And wait for it—more than three times the number of Fortune 500 companies have put their hankies in the ring for stablecoin action since 2024. With over 161 million stablecoin holders globetrotting the planet and a commendable 54% increase in global stablecoin supply year on year, it seems that 2025 could just be the breakout year for our dear stablecoins. Grab the popcorn, my friends! 🍿
