Basic Coin Token (BAT) spikes amidst Coinbase support launch
Amidst the downtrend in the crypto-market lately, Coinbase, the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States has decided to list Basic Coin Token (BAT) to its ‘Pro’ platform.
Coinbase decision to add BAT Tokens to Coinbase Pro will allow BAT/USD trades very soon but only when there is enough liquidity on the digital asset, but deposits are already available on the platform. Coinbase also announced that all the trading features concerning Basic Attention Token would be available in all areas, besides residents in New York. It is important to know that BAT Tokens are not available yet on the official Coinbase website, but we may see the listing before the year comes to an end.
Here is a full statement by the exchange:
“After 1 pm PT on Friday, November 2, we will begin accepting inbound transfers of Basic Attention Token (BAT) to Coinbase Pro. We will accept deposits for at least 12 hours prior to enabling trading. Once sufficient liquidity is established, trading on the BAT/USDC order book will start. Users may convert their USD to USDC with one click within the Pro interface as described here“
The exchange continued saying,
“BAT trading will be accessible for users in most jurisdictions, but will not initially be available for residents of the state of New York. Please also note that BAT is not yet available at Coinbase.com or in our iOS and Android apps. We will make a separate announcement when that occurs.”
Undoubtedly, Basic Coin Token (BAT) is a top-notch cryptocurrency from the newly-formed BRAVE – a web browser. It is also a cryptocurrency based on Ethereum’s protocol; during BAT’s ICO launch, it was recorded that the blockchain project collected more than $35 million in thirty seconds. Mind-boggling.
According to a post by Coinbase on its blog, BAT will be released in 4 stages: transfer only, post only, limit only, and full-trading. As the name suggests, the full-trading stage will offer limitless trading for traders and BAT investors, including stop-orders. Coinbase does not allow retail trading on its platform and iOS and Android applications.
The Surge in Basic Attention Token (BAT) Price
After the Coinbase statement concerning the BAT listing on Coinbase Pro, the value of Basic Attention Token rose from $0.26 to $0.345 in no time, recording an increase of more than 30 percent within 20 minutes on November 2nd.
At the time of writing, Basic Attention Token has settled at $0.32 price level. BAT looks to replicate Ox when it was featured on Coinbase Pro last month as the cryptocurrency has surged by more than 7 percent in the last 24 hours.
Nevertheless, lots of questions have been asked by traders on which cryptocurrency will be next to be listed. Notable cryptocurrencies with great prospects have been tipped to be listed very soon after Basic Attention Toen (BAT). It is necessary to know that cryptocurrencies such as Cardano (ADA) and Stellar (XLM) have been the most-talked-about to be listed on the platform shortly.

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.
SOL Outlook
Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.
The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.
This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…
Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.
Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally
Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.
The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.

Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.
SOL’s Bullish Cues
Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.
In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.
Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
