Coinbase Pitches a Full Token Lifecycle Service, From Public Sales to Custody
Coinbase’s November 5 update presents an integrated suite for token issuers covering sales, distribution, listings, custody and liquidity. The company cited Monad, Ethena and Hyperliquid, reporting figures including over 85,000 MON sale purchasers and $7.2 billion in spot volume on Coinbase. These selected examples show potential uses but are not proof of typical outcomes. Bundling may simplify operations, while increasing reliance on one provider and making suppliers harder to replace. Issuers should assess custody and withdrawal terms, fees, geographic and regulatory limits, service continuity and data portability. Coinbase also described plans involving tokenised equities and private markets, which should be distinguished from live products.
