"As part of the exploratory process customers may see public-facing APIs and other signs that we are conducting engineering work to potentially support these assets," the firm said.

Notably, these assets may not become available in all jurisdictions and final listing decisions will depend on local regulations, Coinbase noted.

"Our decision to support any asset requires significant technical and compliance review and may be subject to regulatory approval in some jurisdictions," the blog post explained. "As per our listing process, we will add new assets on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, subject to applicable review and authorizations."
