Announced in a tweet (per a new policy), the expansion adds SPL tokens (Solana’s ERC-20 equivalent) to Coinbase’s token menagerie for the first time. It previously stuck to layer 1 coins and tokens built atop the Ethereum blockchain.

Orca and Bonfida are decentralized exchanges for Solana-based assets, including wrapped tokens.
Already in the green for the day, ORCA rallied within minutes of Coinbase’s announcement before giving much of the gains back by press time. FIDA dropped.
