In an exciting development for the crypto community, Coinbase has officially announced the listing of Swell (SWELL) on its platform.

The day before, Coinbase announced its intent to add support for Swell (SWELL) on the Ethereum network (ERC-20 Token).

Hours after this initial listing announcement, Coinbase stated that Swell (SWELL) is now live on the Coinbase platform, in the Coinbase iOS & Android apps with the Experimental label allowing users to buy, sell, convert, send, receive or store the crypto asset. 

Swell Network emerges as a decentralized, noncustodial liquid staking protocol that enables users to stake their Ethereum and earn passive income through blockchain rewards. In exchange for staking their ETH, participants receive a yield-bearing liquid staking token (LST), which represents their staked assets plus earned rewards. This token can be utilized within the broader DeFi landscape to generate additional yield.

The listing of SWELL on Coinbase marks a major milestone for the token. Following the news, SWELL's price and trade volumes increased, reflecting market expectations. At the time of writing, SWELL was up 29% in the last 24 hours to $0.045. Swell's 24-hour trading volume has also increased 285% to $255 million.
