Coinbase Adds Zcash to Retail Crypto Trading Service

Less than a week after adding privacy-focused zcash to its
professional trading platform, crypto exchange Coinbase is opening
trading to its retail customers.
The company announced Wednesday that clients
using coinbase.com or the
Android and iOS apps can buy, sell, send, receive or store zcash,
though residents in the United Kingdom and the U.S. state of New
York will not immediately have access to these services.
The move comes on the heels of Coinbase Pro adding support for
zcash last week. At the time, the
platform announced that only residents in the U.S. (excluding New
York), UK, European Union, Canada, Singapore and Australia would be
able to access the coin.
Coinbase’s blog post announcing the listing of zcash included
information about its privacy features, notably mentioning that
users can send either “transparent” or “shielded” transactions.
“The unencrypted/transparent version of the protocol allows
third parties to see metadata associated with the communication or
transaction, while the encrypted/shielded version protects this
information,” the post noted (it highlighted similar information in
last week’s post).
As with Coinbase Pro, Coinbase will not be supporting sending
transactions to shielded addresses at this time, though customers
can send both types of transactions to the exchange.
The exchange has now listed three of five tokens it first
hinted at in July, including the Basic Attention Token and the
0x Protocol token. It has yet to
add support for the other two tokens, Cardano and Stellar
lumens.
Brief boost
While the “Coinbase effect” resulted in zcash’s price rising 15
percent last week after Coinbase Pro announced support, Wednesday
did not see such a boost.
Data from CoinDesk’s Crypto-Economics Explorer shows that the
coin’s price jumped 4 percent briefly to reach a 24-hour high of
$75.27.
The minor rally proved to be short lived as the cryptocurrency
is now trading at $71.94 and is down 3.55 percent on the day.
