The post Binance’s CZ Urges Coinbase to List More BNB Chain Projects appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) recently shared his thoughts on promoting openness and inclusivity across the crypto industry.
In a recent post on X, he suggested that Coinbase should consider listing more projects from the BNB Chain ecosystem. CZ pointed out that Binance has already listed several projects built on Base, while Coinbase has yet to list any from BNB Chain, despite it being one of the most active blockchain networks.
He added that this was just a recommendation as supporting cross-ecosystem growth would benefit not only individual exchanges but the broader crypto community as well.
Coinbase Adds BNB Chain To Listing Roadmap
Coinbase recently revealed that BNB will be added to its listing roadmap, the first step before the token is officially available for trading.
BNB has been hitting new all-time highs lately and it could get another boost with this listing. The exchange noted that actual trading will depend on market-making support and sufficient technical infrastructure. This marks the first time Coinbase has listed a major altcoin from a direct competitor.
BNB Listing – A ‘No-Brainer’
CZ also responded to the growing industry support around BNB and said that listing the world’s third-largest cryptocurrency should be a “no-brainer,” pointing to its strong liquidity, trading volume, and growing ecosystem.He added that choosing not to list BNB is only missing out on its own potential gains.
BNB Chain Activity Surges
BNB Chain recently hit record activity as daily active addresses reached 3.46 million, surpassing the previous high from December 2023. Over the past year, BNB Chain has had nearly 200 million active addresses. The chain also saw a 15% TVL increase in Q3 2025.
It is currently the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, trading at $1,186, down slightly from earlier highs it hit when Coinbase first announced the listing.

He also noted that exchanges are free to adopt zero-fee models if they are criticizing others for charging. He pointed out that different exchanges adopt various listing models, often combining spot, futures, and alpha listings.
The potential Coinbase listing marks a significant step for BNB Chain and could provide a boost to its price and trading volume. Besides, CZ’s remarks reinforces the idea that strong projects like BNB naturally attract listings, and cross-ecosystem support benefits both exchanges and the community.
Looking ahead, the listing could pave the way for Coinbase to add more BNB Chain projects, fostering greater inclusivity and competition among exchanges.
