its review of eight cryptocurrencies earlier last month. Of those under study, dash is the first to be approved.
A proof-of-work cryptocurrency, dash focuses on payments and security. With a reported marketcap of over $800 million, according to Messari, Dash is the 16th largest cryptocurrency by that metric.
In an interview with CoinDesk, Dash Core Group CEO Ryan Taylor said listing on Coinbase Pro was an investigative process due to the standards Coinbase holds. Recently, the privacy features of dash have come under scrutiny from other exchanges and regulators.
"Dash implements a privacy technique called CoinJoin," Taylor said. "CoinJoin has been implemented a number of times on the bitcoin blockchain. Dash is one of the first which is why it probably has been labelled as a privacy coin.”
“This is what Coinbase understands and what we've been educating exchanges and regulators about," he added.
CoinJoin mixes transactions into a single transaction on the blockchain. The process makes it more difficult to identify where payments are directed going. Unlike other privacy coins protocols, including monero's bulletproofs or zcash's zk-SNARK implementation, CoinJoin's are not totally anonymous.
"It's important for our users to the access and so its important regulators know the distinction," he continued.
"Our implementation of coinjoin is sophisticated and has a high level of privacy. The important thing to note is there is no legal status difference" between bitcoin and dash.
With over 30 million users, Coinbase Pro is one of the largest crypto exchanges by volume.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
