Coinbase Pro adds Support for Cosmos (ATOM)

Cosmos (ATOM) is now available for trading on Coinbase Pro. Starting Monday, January 13, 2020, interested users can commence transferring ATOM to their Coinbase Pro account.

Transfer is expected to start during office hours (PT). This is according to a blog post by Coinbase Pro.

The exchange also disclosed that starting January 13, ATOM inbound transfer will be accepted for at least 12 hours before full trading commences. According to the schedule, trading is expected to start at 10.00 PT if an adequate amount of ATOM is attained. If so, trading will begin in two phases. The first phase will be the post-only mode. The second — full trading if the metrics indicate a profitable market.

Trading pairs include the ATOM/USD, and ATOM/BTC. Yet, the exchange promises to list more assets in the near future.

ATOM will be accessible for all of Coinbase’s supported regions. Note that Coinbase will not allow ATOM staking at the moment.
