As of Monday, the token is available to transfer into Coinbase Pro accounts. Trading will begin on or after 9 a.m. PT Wednesday.

The exchange typically adds cryptocurrencies to its retail platform a few weeks after first listing them on the professional version, although that turned out not to be the case when it added dogecoin. Coinbase Pro currently supports 50 cryptocurrencies.

Trading pairs to be supported include DOT-USD, DOT-BTC, DOT-EUR, DOT-GBP and DOT-USDT.

Crypto markets swung sharply Thursday following a softer-than-expected U.S. CPI print, which briefly lifted bitcoin above $89,000 during U.S. hours.

What to know:

  • XRP declined 1.2% amid high trading volume, indicating significant market activity despite price struggles.
