Coinbase listing policy update — Coinbase has updated its policy for adding more cryptocurrencies, replacing the ad hoc process with one they intend to rapidly expand the number of currencies available on the platform.

"Today we’re announcing a new process that will allow us to rapidly list most digital assets that are compliant with local law, by satisfying listing requests in a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction manner."

- There will be no application fee originally, but may be later down the line
- They will publicly announce the addition of new assets only at or near the time of public launch across one or more Coinbase products

"It will be a — for lack of a better term —a CryptoYuan, paired not just to bitcoin, but to most other Chinese blockchain projects as well.

Similar in function to tether pairings currently, but fully backed by the PBoC and stable in value to the Yuan.

Where Chinese can transfer CryptoYuan direct from their bank accounts to an exchange and buy projects through the direct pairing.

In essence, the Chinese government is signaling their intent of competing directly with stable coins like Tether and cutting out BTC completely as a reserve cryptocurrency, all while maintaining control of their own money supply.

By launching a CryptoYuan, controlled by the People’s Bank of China, this will align the interests of the government, banks, and people simultaneously.

It will give the Chinese government the taxing mechanism that they need through financial transaction transparency. They will not be relying on people to self report like what is currently happening in the West."

"These changes are part of our ongoing commitment to ensure that Poloniex complies with regulatory requirements in every jurisdiction. In doing so, we're also making every effort to ensure a smooth transition for customers who may be affected. We will provide more communication in the coming weeks about the final date but it will be by the end of the year and encourage customers to take steps to unwind margin positions at their convenience.
