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.
Creator of the vintage internet meme Trollface told Decrypt that he has “no interest” in getting involved in the surging Solana meme coin based on his creation, as crypto’s capitalistic nature interferes with artistic expression. That said, he ruled out pressing legal action against the token despite his apparent promotion of a separate Troll token earlier this year… and then again on Tuesday. Carlos Ramirez, known as Whynne online, told Decrypt in his first interview in 10 years that he is “co...
Daily Ethereum transactions inched up to 1.87 million yesterday and are nearing the all-time high of 1.96 million recorded on January 14, 2024, according to Etherscan data. It’s a positive sign for a network that saw diminished user demand over the last year as competitors like Solana gained market share. In fact, Solana has already seen 22 million transactions today. But for Ethereum mainnet to be nearing 2 million daily transactions means that volume on the network has nearly doubled since the...
XRP Ledger’s codebase does not possess some secret back door that would allow Ripple to single-handedly control the network, according to the digital payment company's Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz. Despite XRP Ledger’s continued adoption among financial institutions, the misconception that “Ripple somehow controls the ledger” has lingered, he told Decrypt in a recent interview. “We are a major contributor to the ecosystem. It is obviously very important to us,” he said. “But we have n...
