Before we continue, the “Coinbase Effect” is a phenomenon that implies that every listing news in the market will result. The theory around the ‘Coinbase Effect’ is simple: if you get listed on Coinbase, your price will skyrocket. This trend has been going on for years. Most new listings lead to a massive price spike called the Coinbase Effect. This is especially true for a few cryptocurrencies like District0x and Civic, which have seen increases of 642% and 492% after their listings in 2020 and 2018, respectively.
What happened to INJ, PUNDIX, and XMON after the listing news?
