The American cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase will soon begin trading DOT, the native token for Polkadot. A blog post reported that inbound transfers have already begun, and trading would kick off on June 16.
DOT has since risen by more than 16%, thanks to what is commonly called the “Coinbase effect.” In a report from Messari, an analysis outlet, the average returns five days after a token listing on Coinbase is 91%.
This is far higher than a listing on competitor exchanges like Binance, Kraken, FTX, Gemini, and Okex, reports Messari.
Polkadot is a “multi-chain” platform that is looking to bring together siloed networks. Bitcoin and Ethereum, for example, cannot interact with one another because they are built using different technologies. This lack of interoperability is common throughout the crypto sector.
Built by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, Polkadot is just one project hoping to address this. Thorchain and Solana are also competing in this market.
Wood’s technology is still several steps from achieving its objective, however.
Before launching, each component is first launched and tested on Polkadot’s so-called “canary network.” A testnet of sorts, Kusama offers an environment in which each part of the Polkadot network can be tested before.
These days, the team has been launching new tests on Kusama regularly too. Parachains, the spokes of this multi-chain wheel of blockchains, have already launched on Kusama, albeit in a reduced capacity. The next step is something called a parachain auction, in which different projects bet to earn a spot in the Kusama environment.
These auctions will continue deep into July, writes Wood.
Now, thanks to Coinbase, users can speculate on both Kusama and Polkadot’s native token while they wait.

The UK’s Economic Secretary for the Treasury has poured cold water on the idea of the country launching a national crypto reserve. Speaking at the Financial Times Digital Asset Summit in London, Emma Reynolds MP said that following the U.S. government's lead in stockpiling Bitcoin is “not the plan for us.” “We don't think that's appropriate for our market," Reynolds said. “We understand that’s what the U.S. is going for, but that’s not the plan for us," she added. In other areas, the UK is look...
OpenAI is removing limits on how much money investors can make while keeping its nonprofit in charge, converting its current business arm into a "public benefit company," a type of for-profit business that needs to consider both making money and serving the public good. "We want to be able to operate and get resources in such a way that we can make our services broadly available to all of humanity," CEO Sam Altman stated in a letter published Monday. The move places it at temporary odds with maj...
