Coinbase official statement reads:
“We expect final testing to be completed by Tuesday, August 7, at which point we will announce that we’re ready to accept inbound transfers of ETC. We intend to allow 24–48 hours of inbound transfers through Coinbase Pro and Coinbase Prime before enabling trading.”
Ethereum Classic will appear in the following services: Coinbase Custody, Coinbase Markets, Coinbase Pro, Coinbase Prime, Coinbase Asset Management, Coinbase Consumer. In this statement, it is noted that any digital asset that has been listed on Coinbase Markets will be added to the Coinbase Index. In addition, it is known that Ethereum Classic will appear on Coinbase Consumer only after it is listed on Coinbase Pro and Prime. It is expected that ETC will appear on Coinbase Consumer after sufficient liquidity is established. It will take 1-2 weeks after the Ethereum Classic trading starts on Pro and Prime.
Coinbase specifies that the dates given are not final, and are only estimates. Soon the exchange will either confirm the information about the start of Ethereum Classic trading or issue a new announcement.
Access to ETC will be available to all Coinbase customers in the regions served by the company.
