Coinbase to List Binance’s BNB Token
Coinbase, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, announced plans to list BNB. BNB is the native token of Binance’s ecosystem. Trading will start once market-making support and technical infrastructure are ready. This is the first time Coinbase officially supports BNB, a token from a rival exchange.
Coinbase shared the news on Twitter on October 15, 2025. The listing follows Coinbase Advanced’s launch of BNB perpetual futures on April 3. These futures let traders hold positions indefinitely and use leverage to increase gains or losses. This move expands Coinbase’s derivatives offerings and positions it as a competitor to Binance, which already offers BNB futures.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) commented on the potential listing. He said, “Listing a 3rd largest market cap crypto should be a no-brainer.” He added, “Not listing it is a loss for the exchange themselves.”
BNB Market Performance and Upcoming Listings
At the time of writing, BNB traded near $1,186, down 0.73% in 24 hours and over 8.5% in the past week. However, it gained 27.8% in the last month, according to CoinMarketCap.
Coinbase also plans to list other tokens soon. These include Bitcoin Hyper, Maxi Doge, PEPENODE, and Snorter Bot. Research from Barron’s shows new Coinbase listings often gain an average of 91% in the first five days.
Binance Listing Fees Debate
The BNB listing comes amid controversy over Binance’s listing fees. CJ Hetherington, CEO of Limitless Labs, claimed Binance charges fees and requires deposits for listings. Binance denied these claims, calling them false and discriminatory.
The exchange said deposits are usually refundable and it does not charge listing fees. However, former BitMEX Co-Founder Arthur Hayes suggested listings could cost projects about 16% of their token supply. This includes airdrops and BNB purchases.
Coinbase’s BNB listing shows growing interest in cross-platform trading of major tokens. It offers traders more ways to access and leverage popular digital assets.
