Coinbase Adds World Liberty’s USD1 Stablecoin to Its Roadmap

Coinbase, one of the leading crypto exchanges, has announced plans to expand its digital offerings by listing  World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin, USD1, on its exchange. The announcement was shared through the exchange’s official roadmap update. 

Coinbase Uses a Careful and Open Listing Process

The exchange also published the token’s contract address to give investors clarity ahead of the trading launch. The decision comes at a time when stablecoins are drawing stronger interest from both retail and institutional players. 

Coinbase is positioning itself as a careful but forward-looking gatekeeper in this space. The exchange is known for being cautious when adding new crypto assets. Unlike earlier years when it published long watchlists of potential tokens, the exchange now only announces assets it has firmly chosen to support. 

This system, known as the roadmap, helps prevent speculation and misinformation while giving users clear visibility into upcoming listings. 

In the case of USD1, Coinbase said that deposits should not be sent until the official trading launch. Any premature deposits risk being lost permanently. The exchange also clarified that a listing on the roadmap is not the same as an immediate market opening.

Expanding Assets Across Multiple Networks

The company requires two conditions before opening a market, which include adequate market-making support and a fully prepared technical infrastructure. If either condition is not met, trading for USD1 will not begin. This careful approach is part of Coinbase’s broader effort to make the listing process more transparent and secure.

The USD1 stablecoin enters a growing list of assets on Coinbase’s roadmap. Other tokens added recently include QCAD, Dolomite, and SPX6900, along with new listings tied to the Base and Solana networks.

Coinbase has also been quietly expanding its decentralized exchange (DEX) services. Earlier this year, Coinbase added trading for Base tokens and said Solana tokens would be next. This shows the company’s plan to grow across different blockchain networks.

Coinbase Puts Compliance and Safety First

The U.S.-based trading platform carefully reviews every new token before listing it, and not all tokens are treated the same. Some are given an Experimental Label to warn investors that they carry more risk.

The decision to list USD1 was based on legal, compliance, and security checks and not on hype or demand. Coinbase has made it clear that even popular or trending tokens can be rejected if they don’t meet its rules.

This focus on compliance reflects a bigger shift in the crypto industry. A telling sign came from Bullish, another exchange, accepting $1.15 billion from its IPO in USDC and USD1. That shows USD1 is being seen as a trusted, institutional-grade stablecoin, not just a speculative coin.
