Coinbase has listed three altcoins on its token listing this week: BankrCoin (BNKR), Bio Protocol (BIO), and ResearchCoin (RSC). BNKR has already been listed and caused approximately a 30% price increase.
The remaining two tokens are scheduled to start trading tomorrow and are related to DeSci: the interaction between cryptocurrency and science. BIO aims to support new research, while RSC seeks to enhance users' scientific understanding.
Coinbase New Token Listing
Coinbase is one of the world's largest exchanges and has a significant impact on token listings. This week, it is preparing to list two new tokens, with another already listed today.
Coinbase is always ready to add diverse assets to its portfolio. The first is BankrCoin (BNKR), which surged after the previous listing announcement:
BankrCoin is the native token of Bankr, an AI-based trading agent, and is the only artificial intelligence-related asset Coinbase is listing this week.
The platform supports BNKR holders using exchange fees, encouraging user participation. However, the market is volatile, and BankrCoin shows high volatility and low liquidity depth.
Nevertheless, Coinbase has already listed this token, which could provide a significant boost. So far, most trading volume has occurred on DEXs and a few CEXs, primarily gate.io.
In any case, this is the most meme-coin-style asset on Coinbase's schedule. The other two focus on the scientific applications of cryptocurrency.
These two assets, ResearchCoin (RSC) and Bio Protocol (BIO), appeared almost simultaneously on Coinbase's listing roadmap.
Bio Protocol aims to promote decentralized community funding for biotech research and development through tokenization. BIO holders can vote on allocating funds to specific scientific research.
Established in January 2025, this asset has not yet gained much participation from research institutions.
BIO plans to enable the release of Non-Fungible Tokens based on scientifically discovered community-funded research, but this requires active partnerships with scientists. Nonetheless, the long-term growth model appears to depend on high community interest and speculation.
ResearchCoin is another DeSci token listed on Coinbase, using a different model. Rather than supporting science, RSC encourages holders to study science.
Active since 2022, it rewards users who share useful research papers and create meaningful discussions.
ResearchCoin surged more than 10% after the Coinbase listing announcement. According to CoinMarketCap data, the token's daily trading volume increased by over 200%.
These three assets highlight the true diversity of Coinbase's token listing strategy.
