Is BAT the next one after ZRX? Coinbase adding Basic Attention Token (BAT) rumors getting louder

October 13, 2019

Cryptocurrency market runs on speculation fuel – any price jump or slump you see can be usually explained with a rumor, false or true statement of some crypto “expert” or even directly of a team member.

If you throw a glance at the market today, you will see ZRX and BAT dominating the green color. There is a common denominator for their prices surges – Coinbase exchange listing. ZRX is already listed and started trading yesterday while BAT is the front-runner to be the next one added.

Over the past 24 hours, the Basic Attention Token price has risen by just over 12% to trade at $0.25 at the press time.

The speculation is grounded in the report released by Coinbase that had explored the addition of cryptocurrencies like Basic Attention Token [BAT], Stellar Lumens [XLM] and Cardano [ADA].

Crypto Twitter is propelling the rumors at blinding speed, below are some of the opinions and tweets that led the discourse:

They have already received a US regulators’ approval to list tokens that could be deemed as securities which is a unique position among their competition that is largely in gray area when it comes to regulatory compliance.
