Coinbase Lists ZORA, Adds Mantle (MNT) to Roadmap — Here’s What You Need to Know

t’s been a big week for smaller tokens making big moves. Coinbase just officially listed ZORA, and added Mantle (MNT) to its listing roadmap — giving both projects a solid credibility boost and a nice price bump to go with it.

ZORA Is Now Live on Coinbase

ZORA, the native token of the Zora platform, went live on Coinbase just two days after its airdrop launch on April 23. The exchange first teased the listing in a roadmap post — then hours later, made it official: ZORA is now available to trade across the Coinbase website and mobile apps.

As expected with newer coins, ZORA was tagged with Coinbase’s “Experimental” label — a heads-up to users that the token is still young and might come with extra volatility. It’s a way to say, “this one’s new — tread lightly.”

That didn’t stop the market from reacting. ZORA ticked up about 2.3%, trading at $0.02 following the listing.

The token’s also already available on several other exchanges, including KuCoin, Bybit, Bitget, Gate.io, and MEXC — so it’s definitely not flying under the radar.

So What’s Zora All About?

Zora is one of the newer players in the growing “content coin” movement — projects that aim to let people tokenize content like posts, art, or memes. It’s a Web3 spin on social engagement, and it’s gaining traction thanks in part to Jesse Pollak, the creator of Base.

Pollak recently minted a viral tweet into a token — though it flopped hard and dropped 99% in just four hours. Even so, he’s sticking to the vision.

“Most content coins won’t blow up,” Pollak told BeInCrypto, “but some might hit meme status — and it’s up to the market to decide what’s valuable.”

Whether ZORA becomes the go-to content coin or not, Coinbase’s backing definitely puts it on the map.

Mantle (MNT) Makes the Roadmap

While ZORA stole the spotlight, Mantle (MNT) also got some love from Coinbase — though it hasn’t been listed just yet. Instead, it’s been added to Coinbase’s listing roadmap, which means it’s under review and could go live once liquidity and technical support are ready.

Even the roadmap mention gave MNT a boost, with the token jumping 6.5% to about $0.74 in 24 hours. Not bad for a token still waiting in the wings.

The Bottom Line

Coinbase is clearly keeping an eye on the more experimental corners of crypto. Between content coins like ZORA and L2-focused plays like MNT, the exchange is opening the door for new narratives and fresh projects to find an audience.

Whether you’re trading or just watching from the sidelines, it’s clear: the altcoin rotation is alive and well — and Coinbase is driving a lot of it.
