Coinbase Will Consider Listing Ethereum Forks Following Merge

With Ethereum’s long-anticipated merge just around the corner, crypto exchanges are now having to decide whether to support a controversial attempt to resist the transition. Coinbase will consider listing forked, proof-of-work versions of Ethereum as they arise post-merge, the company announced in a blog post. The company had previously been mum on the subject of supporting forked Ethereum tokens, and has been vocal in its support for the new, proof-of-stake model of Ethereum set to be created by next month’s merge. That new, staked Ethereum is what will power the upgraded, more energy-efficient proof-of-stake network.
