Coinbase has three altcoins on the docket for token listings this week: BankrCoin (BNKR), Bio Protocol (BIO), and ResearchCoin (RSC). BNKR already went live, sparking a price jump of nearly 30%.
The other two tokens, set to begin trading tomorrow, deal with DeSci: crypto’s interaction with science. BIO intends to fund new research, while RSC hopes to increase users’ scientific literacy.
Coinbase’s Newest Token Listings
Coinbase, one of the world’s largest exchanges, exudes a lot of influence with its token listings. The firm is preparing to list two new tokens this week, and another one just went live today.
As usual, Coinbase is preparing a diversified set of assets to add to its portfolio. The first of which is BankrCoin (BNKR), which spiked after a prior listing announcement:
BankrCoin is the native token of Bankr, an AI-powered trading agent, and it’s the only asset related to artificial intelligence that Coinbase is listing this week.
The platform uses swap fees to support BNKR holders, incentivizing user engagement. Still, it’s in a crowded market, and BankrCoin exhibits high volatility and low liquidity depth.
Nonetheless, Coinbase already took this token live, so the listing might give it a major boost. So far, most trade volume has centered around DEXs, alongside a few CEXs, primarily Gate.io.
In any event, it’s the most meme coin-style asset of the ones on Coinbase’s agenda, as the other two focus on crypto’s scientific applications.
These two assets, ResearchCoin (RSC) and Bio Protocol (BIO), both appeared on Coinbase’s listing roadmap around the same time.
Bio Protocol aims to use tokenization to incentivize decentralized community funding for biotech R&D. Using specialized DAOs, BIO holders can vote on disbursing funds towards specific scientific research.
Founded in January 2025, the asset doesn’t have a ton of buy-in from research institutions yet.
Apparently, BIO will enable users to launch NFTs based on community-funded scientific discoveries, but that requires active partnerships with scientists. Either way, the long-term growth model seems to rely on community hype and speculation.
ResearchCoin, the other DeSci token to receive a Coinbase listing, employs a different model. Rather than fund science, RSC encourages holders to study it.
It’s been active since 2022, rewarding users for sharing useful research papers and creating meaningful discussions.
ResearchCoin surged more than 10% after the Coinbase listing announcement. According to CoinMarketCap data, the token’s daily trading volume surged more than 200%.
Together, these three assets highlight the truly diversified nature of Coinbase’s token listing strategy.
