The reason is that some coins might encounter some restrictions while some might not be added at all when they are done with their evaluation.

In a statement, Coinbase said: “The addition of new digital currencies requires significant exploratory work from both a compliance and technical point of view. We can’t guarantee that all these digital currencies we are evaluating will be added to the trading platform. In addition, our process of listing may result in some of these digital currencies being listed only for customers to sell and buy, not for receiving and sending using a local wallet.”
