Coinbase Expands Base Network with cbHYPE and cbZEC Listings

Coinbase has expanded its Base network by listing two new assets: cbHYPE and cbZEC. These tokens allow users to trade and use Hyperliquid's native token, $HYPE, and Zcash's ($ZEC) privacy-focused cryptocurrency within the Base ecosystem.

The introduction of cbHYPE and cbZEC is part of Coinbase's broader strategy to support multi-chain interoperability and bring more assets onto its Layer-2 environment. Base has emerged as a hub for DeFi and on-chain activity, largely due to its low fees and compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

The move could attract traders interested in derivatives and privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, increasing accessibility and convenience for users who can now transact with these tokens without leaving the Layer-2 environment.
