by

Well, hold onto your wallets, folks! Major crypto exchange Coinbase has decided to throw a party and invite a whole bunch of Ethereum-based crypto assets to the bash! 🎉

In a tweet that probably made some crypto nerds spill their coffee, Coinbase announced the arrival of Spark (SPK) — an Ethereum-based crypto asset that’s now strutting its stuff on the platform. And guess what? It’s got the “Experimental” label! Because who doesn’t love a little risk with their investments? 😜

Spark (SPK) is now live on & in the Coinbase iOS & Android apps with the Experimental label. Coinbase customers can log in to buy, sell, convert, send, receive or store these assets.

But wait, there’s more! Coinbase is also rolling out the red carpet for new assets, including Spark perpetual futures on Coinbase International Exchange and Coinbase Advanced. The SPK-PERP markets will kick off on or after 9:30 a.m. UTC on June 19, 2025. Mark your calendars, folks! 🗓️

This month, Coinbase has been busy adding support for tokens based on the Ethereum network (ERC-20 tokens), including PancakeSwap (CAKE), Lagrange (LA), and Ethena (ENA). Because who doesn’t want a side of pancakes with their crypto? 🥞

Speaking of Ethena (ENA), it’s available on Coinbase, in the Coinbase iOS and Android apps, allowing users to buy, sell, convert, send, receive, or store this crypto asset. It’s like a Swiss Army knife for your digital wallet! 🔧

In other news, Coinbase is gearing up to add support for Resolv perpetual futures on Coinbase International Exchange and Coinbase Advanced. The RESOLV-PERP market will open on or after 9:30 a.m. UTC on June 19. It’s like a crypto buffet, and everyone’s invited! 🍽️

Coinbase’s Big Plans for Blockchain-Based Stocks

According to Reuters, Coinbase is trying to get a thumbs-up from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to offer “tokenized equities” to its users. Yes, you heard that right! Tokenizing equities is like turning a company’s shares into a digital token, similar to how cryptocurrencies are traded. It’s like magic, but with more paperwork! 🎩✨

Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s chief legal officer, said this is a “huge priority.” Because who wouldn’t want to trade stocks via blockchain technology? It’s like putting a rocket on your trading platform! 🚀

If they get the green light, Coinbase will be in a head-to-head showdown with retail brokerages like Robinhood and Charles Schwab. It’s like the Wild West of trading, and everyone’s got their guns drawn! 🤠
