As per the recent study from Messari, the ‘Coinbase Effect’ has helped new tokens listing significantly.

In the recent newsletter “The Crypto Exchange Pump Phenomenon”, Messari analyst Roberto Talamas writes:
“Coinbase listings have the highest average return standing at 91%, but also have the widest distribution of ranging from -32% to 645%. The economic rationale behind the effect is straightforward. When a cryptocurrency is listed on a popular exchange it immediately gains exposure to a new set of market participants.”
