Coinbase Custody Launches Support for Mainnet KIN

Kin, the cryptocurrency for consumer apps, is now under supported assets at Coinbase Custody. The US largest platform for cryptocurrency trading and other related services said it would be supporting the mainnet pending swapping of KIN ERC20 tokens.

“KIN holders can now benefit from Coinbase Custody’s industry-leading offline storage platform and insurance coverage. Coinbase Custody will add the new native implementation of KIN to the platform with KIN’s pending migration from ERC20 to mainnet,” Coinbase explained in its statement.

As more consumer apps continue integrating, the Kin Foundation, the governance body for the cryptocurrency Kin, plans to fully migrate from Ethereum network to its own decentralized Blockchain Blockchain Blockchain comprises a digital network of blocks with a comprehensive ledger of transactions made in a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or other altcoins.One of the signature features of blockchain is that it is maintained across more than one computer.

The nonprofit foundation says the swap removes the confusion created by having two types of Kin tokens and simplifies the integration process with both exchanges and consumer applications.

Despite being one of the coins to make the cut for custody services, KIN has still not acquired a listing on the trading platform of Coinbase.

Coinbase revealed earlier that it is evaluating the addition of Kin (KIN) among other tokens, but said it does not guarantee that all of them will be listed for trading, as “adding new assets requires significant exploratory work from both a technical and compliance standpoint.”
