Coinbase-led Rosetta, an open-source set of tools to help developers integrate other blockchains into their services, just got a new signup: Neo, a blockchain platform that is itself focused on interoperability.
Neo integrates with #Rosetta, an open-source project led by Coinbase. We look forward to work together with Rosetta improving protocol integration processes in order to build the next-gen Internet.https://t.co/Nl8nF3OW4G
Rosetta, which launched on June 17, is a standardization tool to make it easier for blockchains to speak to each other. Each blockchain is different, making it difficult and time-consuming for crypto project developers to integrate other blockchains.
“The process requires careful analysis of the unique aspects of each blockchain and extensive communication with its developers to understand the best strategies to deploy nodes, recognize deposits, and broadcast transactions,” wrote Neo in a blog post today. “Project developers spend countless hours answering similar support questions for each team integrating their blockchain, rather than spending time working on their blockchain.”
Popular San Francisco-based crypto exchange Coinbase has released Rosetta, a toolkit designed to make blockchain integration simpler and more effective, especially for exchanges working with new tokens.
In a blog post, Coinbase stated that Rosetta will be available starting today for digital currency exchanges and blockchain developers alike.
With the number of blockchains increasing—and with each blockchain featuring unique specifications—exchanges have to take time and care when integrating w...
It’s theoretically easier for crypto companies to integrate a blockchain that adheres to Rosetta’s framework, since they roughly know how such a blockchain works.
That’s good for everyone. It’s beneficial for the blockchain’s developers, who want to get their blockchain’s coin listed on exchanges and integrated with other services. And it’s also beneficial for those integrating another blockchain, since they can improve their own products with new services.
Today, then, things got a lot easier for Neo, a Chinese blockchain platform started by Da Hongfei and Erik Zhang in 2014. Neo focuses on crypto trading, digital identity and smart contracts—it’s a little like Ethereum. It’s also one of the founding members of PolyNetwork, a blockchain interoperability platform, and runs an interoperable DeFi platform, Flamingo.
Despite the Rosetta integration, however, Coinbase has still not listed Neo’s coin as the exchange requires a coin to overcome several regulatory hurdles.
After today’s announcement, Neo’s price shot up 6%, though it likely wasn't related to the news; most top coins had similarly rosy days. Its current price is $18.23, according to data from metrics site CoinMarketCap.

Guests at last month’s Trump meme coin holders dinner were airdropped up to three NFTs, one of which has already sold for approximately $16,000. Even people who registered but didn’t make the top 220 cutoff to attend, were given an NFT. Among that category, an NFT has already sold for $4,000.
Despite the big sales, there appears to be no utility for these NFTs. The official TRUMP meme coin X account called them “historic collector’s items that celebrate the Crypto President.”
As promised, if yo...

Bitcoin held its ground above $104,000 on Monday despite the U.S.-China trade tension and court-driven tariff drama that rattled global markets.
Last Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump accused China of violating a mid-May agreement to pause tariff escalation and announced a hike in import tariffs on steel and aluminum, from 25% to 50%, effective June 4.
The pause gave rise to a “Trump always chickens out” meme and its acronym TACO. The president has seemed eager to prove his critics wrong.
