Coinbase users who have stored Ethereum in their accounts over the past three years are about to get a nice surprise in the form of OMG.
OmiseGo—a decentralized application (dapp) for Ethereum—initiated an airdrop of its cryptocurrency OMG Coin in the summer of 2017. At the time, Coinbase did not support the currency, meaning all Ethereum holders that did business through the exchange were excluded.
Coinbase announced today that Coinbase Pro users will next week be able to make inbound transfers with OmiseGo’s OMG token—sending the price of the Ethereum token soaring by 25 percent. The announcement said that users of Coinbase Pro—the platform that caters to more experienced traders—can make OMG transfers from May 18. Once enough OMG has been established on the exchange, users will be able to buy and sell OMG with the US dollar and Bitcoin. On Monday, May 18, our OMG-USD and OMG-BTC order...
Beginning May 21, however, OMG became available to customers of the primary Coinbase platform, along with users of its iOS and Android apps. Coinbase says it will now provide OMG to all customers who have held Ethereum in their Coinbase accounts since the date of the original airdrop.
The news came to light on Twitter. Jordan Spence—chief marketing officer at mycrypto.com—posted a message that he had received from Coinbase explaining that since he held ETH at the time of OMG’s initial distribution, Coinbase would be gifting him with OMG Coin.

“On July 7, 2017, OmiseGo airdropped its token to ETH holders. Because Coinbase did not support OMG at the time, we did not distribute this airdrop,” read a note from Coinbase to Spence. “Coinbase began supporting OMG on May 21, 2020. Because you had ETH on Coinbase at the time of the original airdrop, you are receiving OMG. No action is needed on your part. All eligible tokens have already been credited to your Coinbase account.”
Coinbase first provided OMG access to institutional traders on May 18 through Coinbase Pro, the professional division of the exchange. The move proved bullish for Ethereum, which saw its price increase by a whopping 25% following the news. Retail customers gained access to the asset roughly three days later.
Decrypt reached out to Coinbase for comment. At the time of this post, OMG was trading at $1.63, a drop of nearly 0.5% since early morning.
Grayscale Investments, one of the largest Bitcoin ETF issuers, filed to convert its existing private Digital Large Cap Fund to a publicly available exchange traded fund (ETF).

In February, North Korean hackers broke headlines with what is now regarded as the largest single hack in crypto history. The Lazarus Group stole at least $1.4 billion from Bybit and later funneled those funds to crypto mixers. "Someone had pulled off the biggest hack in [crypto] history, and we had a front-row seat," Samczsun, Research Partner at Paradigm, recalled in a blog post. The researcher said they witnessed the theft in real-time and collaborated with Bybit to confirm the unauthorized a...
