Celo explodes on Coinbase Pro listing announcement

Published at: Aug. 27, 2020

Major U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase Pro, has announced it will list the native token of blockchain platform Celo (CELO).

Other Celo markets have responded enthusiastically, with the coin gaining roughly 55% over both USD and BTC over the past 24 hours as CELO rocketed into new all-time highs above $2.70. As of this writing, CELO is changing hands for $4.45.

CELO/USDT - Bittrex - 1D: TradingView

Coinbase Pro will begin accepting CELO deposits from August 31, with trading slated to commence from 9 am PT on September 1, subject to liquidity conditions.

The exchange will support four pairings for Celo, allowing customers to trade CELO against Bitcoin (BTC), USD, EUR, and GBP.

The markets will be launched over four phases, starting with deposits only, before allowing traders to fill the order books, enabling limit order execution, and lastly moving to full trading functionality.

CELO’s explosive performance today seems at odds with analysis conducted by Coin Metrics in June that found the price impact of newly announced Coinbase Pro listings to be overstated — with freshly listed markets producing average price performances of between -1% and +14% 20 after being announced.

Coinbase Pro listings have similarly comprised the catalyst for the meteoric price moves of Numeraire (NMR) and Band Protocol (BAND) earlier this month, which posted gains of more than 150% and 250% within days of the listings’ announcements.

Coinbase first mooted supporting Celo’s token in September 2019, when the exchange announced Celo as one of 17 yet-to-be-launched projects that it was considering listing.

Coinbase’s COIN stock reference price set at just $250 as 1,700 staff get free shares
Major United States exchange Coinbase’s COIN stock has received a reference price at $250 from Nasdaq ahead of the much-anticipated direct listing on the stock exchange just hours from now. The price is far below the current FTX pre-trading price of $600, albeit on thin 24-hour volume of under $4 million. The exchange is going public via a direct listing instead of an initial public offering, meaning the reference price is not a direct indicator of the company’s market cap. It simply implies a valuation of $65 billion, which is below other estimates ranging between $68 billion and $120 billion. …
