The ‘Coinbase effect’ is alive and well
The price of OMG has pumped more than 150 percent after professionally-oriented exchange Coinbase Pro announced its listing on May 14.
Recently, the token also landed on Coinbase’s retail platform that prides itself on being the largest exchange in the U.S.
All of Coinbase’s Americans will be able to trade the OMG token with the exception of those who reside in New York.
With that being said, the data provided by Santiment suggests that the most recent 31 percent pump could mark the local top for the high-flying cryptocurrency.
According to CoinStats, the token is currently sitting at 34th place by market capitalization, and it’s on track to edge out Basic Attention Token (BAT) and Maker.
Coinbase embraces altcoins
OMG became the latest altcoin added to Coinbase whose CEO Brian Armstrong once talked about listing ‘millions’ of tokens.
As reported by U.Today, 60 percent of the exchange’s new users tend to move into other assets eventually end up buying other crypto assets.
Armstrong’s attempt to promote Bitcoin and altcoins to broader audiences by replying to J. K. Rowling went terribly wrong since he tagged a fake account.
