Making its plans to admit about thirty more to its platform recently, Coinbase finally took a step towards fulfilling its promise as it admits four new tokens to its professional platform. With these additions, the recently added ERC20 tokens {i.e. Basic Attention Token (BAT), USDC and 0x (ZRX)} will be made available to its standard users.
As such, the new additions will only be accessible to Coinbase Pro users along with Civic (CVC) and LOOM. The added ERC20 coins will be available to users in the UK, EU, Canada, Singapore and Australia with an exception in the US.

Zilliqa Slowly Approaching the Top

Zilliqa was launched with the solutions to the scalability, sustainability and interoperability issues faced by older blockchans in mind, Integrated to feature sharding on its network as a scalability principle, Zilliqa had slowly made its way to the top.
Though launched on the Ethereum network, Zilliqa has shown remarkable progress in overcoming scalabilty by processing almost 3,000 transactions in seconds via diving its network into smaller parts through sharding.
Though interoperability still remains an issue not yet solved, the Zilliqa team expressed that it was included in their roadmap for 2019 and hopes that by the time its main net is launched as planned in 2019, Zilliqa will advance in all capacity.
