On July 29, 2025, Coinbase officially announced the addition of ResearchCoin to its listing, emphasizing the importance of transparent governance processes.
ResearchCoin Added to Roadmap
Coinbase announced the inclusion of ResearchCoin (RSC) in its listing roadmap, highlighting transparent internal governance mechanisms. CEO Brian Armstrong is a co-founder of ResearchHub, the project behind ResearchCoin, which required the disclosure of conflict-of-interest measures. Armstrong does not have voting rights in the asset’s approval process.
Market Reaction to the Announcement
The market reacted to the announcement of ResearchCoin’s addition without significant changes. No immediate price dynamics have been observed, and there are no apparent financial shifts. Coinbase confirmed that all listings pass through their Digital Asset Support Group, segregating Armstrong from direct decisions.
Current Market Position of ResearchCoin
Currently, ResearchCoin is priced at $0.65 with a market cap of $75.85 million and a fully diluted market cap of $652.25 million. Over 90 days, the price has seen a 141.13% increase. The 24-hour trading volume stands at $2.54 million, indicating a stable yet constrained market presence for RSC.
The addition of ResearchCoin to Coinbase's roadmap indicates a commitment to transparency, yet the asset has not provoked significant market reactions, leaving its future uncertain.
