Coinbase added two cryptocurrencies recently

According to the announcements by Coinbase, it has added two cryptocurrencies to its platform recently which has caused a positive effect on their prices. MakerDAO (MKR) and OmiseGo (OMG) are the two cryptocurrencies which have been added to the platform.

On May 19, when OMG was added on Coinbase, it experienced an increase of 100% which is huge. MKR, on the other hand, has seen an increase of 50% ever since it has joined the platform. However, the platform has not started accepting the MKR deposits yet as it will start accepting those from June 08. Now with the addition of USDT, it is expected that the exchange will be able to expand its market across Asia.

The platform does not support derivatives or margin trading

Most of the leading crypto exchanges are supporting the derivatives or margin trading on their platforms. However, Coinbase has not extended its support for this yet. It has been assumed that the major reason behind this might be the regulatory limitations in the U.S. Back in the previous year, the exchange started crypto-to-crypto trading across 103 countries. Now with USDT, the firm will be expanding its market in Asia and with this, it will be able to increase its customer base on the platform.
