Breaking: Coinbase Expands Base Network with Cardano and Litecoin – Now Sitting with DOGE and XRP
Coinbase just upped the ante—dropping Cardano (ADA) and Litecoin (LTC) onto its Base network alongside meme-king DOGE and payments heavyweight XRP. The move signals a strategic play for broader altcoin utility, though skeptics whisper it’s just another grab for trading fees dressed as innovation.
Why it matters: Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum L2, is morphing into a multi-chain playground. Adding ADA and LTC isn’t just interoperability—it’s a power move to lure devs and degens alike.
The fine print: No new tokenomics, no supply shocks—just smoother rails for two OG cryptos. Litecoin’s silver-to-Bitcoin’s-gold narrative gets fresh legs, while Cardano backers finally get a major CEX bridge beyond staking.
Bottom line: When exchanges act like blockchains and blockchains act like exchanges, everyone wins (except maybe those still waiting for their ‘SEC-proof’ altcoin moonshot).
