Coinbase Clarifies, No Plans to Integrate Ethereum Classic Yet
It seems as if Coinbase, the world’s largest Bitcoin wallet and trading platform, is not ready to integrate Ethereum Classic just yet.
Earlier this week, various analysts and Ethereum Classic enthusiasts suggested the possibility of Coinbase integrating Ethereum Classic in the near future after a community member discovered an API link to Ethereum Classic on the Coinbase platform. These included Barry Silbert, the founder and CEO of Digital Currency Group, a Bitcoin and Blockchain-focused investment firm that has invested in some of the most successful startups in the Bitcoin industry.
However, almost immediately after Silbert shared the API link of Ethereum Classic on the Coinbase platform in online communities and social media, the Coinbase development team clarified that the API link is simply a relic from the previous Ethereum Classic payout.
