Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, does not currently offer trading of Polkadot (DOT). However, this could change in the future.
For now, those who want to buy DOT will need to find another exchange that offers the token.
DOT is the native cryptocurrency of the Polkadot protocol. The Polkadot protocol is a sharded blockchain that enables cross-chain transfers of any type of data or asset.
DOT is used to secure the network and reward users for participating in its governance.
Coinbase has been adding a number of new cryptocurrencies to its platform in recent months. In October, Coinbase added support for Dai (DAI), a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar.
In November, Coinbase added support for Kyber Network (KNC) and Maker (MKR), two Ethereum-based protocols that power decentralized exchanges.
It is possible that Coinbase will add support for DOT in the future. The exchange has not announced any plans to do so at this time.
However, given Coinbase’s recent track record of adding new cryptocurrencies, it is certainly possible that DOT will be listed on the exchange in the future.
