Coinbase just included Binance’s BNB Coin (BNB) on their roadmap, marking an unusual instance when the two largest crypto exchanges collaborate. A few weeks ago, BNB Chain’s meme coin renaissance and Perpetuals trading on Aster has been dictating the bull rally, but instead of ‘Uptober’, the bear stepped in.
Just three days ago, Binance Coin pulled a new all-time high (ATH) of $1,375, edging XRP coin for the bronze medal in the global crypto ranks by market cap. However, the 14% backslide from the milestone recorded on October 13, 2025 paints a volatile picture for BNB Coin, as the parent company Binance battles with scrutiny over allegedly shady listing requirements.
Coinbase Takes Heed From Kraken’s BNB Listing
Despite some crypto figures throwing shade, Coinbase took a different route and added the competing crypto platform’s native token. While the listing date is unknown, Coinbase reserves the right to slap the ‘Experimental Label’ on all newly-listed assets, including BNB Coin (BNB).

However, Binance’s founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao argues that listing the third largest crypto by global market cap is a no-brainer. The former CEO reacted to Kraken’s move to list the BNB token earlier today. In his opinion, avoiding to list the third largest crypto by market cap on CEXs means both parties are missing out, not just the coin issuer.
After clearing regulatory hurdles, Kraken now allows deposits of BNB to their platform. With the two rival centralized exchanges (CEXs) adding Binance’s native coin, BNB’s availability now matches Ripple’s XRP in the fierce competition for the third spot in crypto’s global ranks.
