The gain by EOS can be explained by two factors; first, it seems to be making up for its loss last week as it was the worst performing coin among the top 10 cryptocurrencies. As the market tries to recover, it is expected that it will rise faster than others.

Also, EOS was among major tokens mentioned by Coinbase crypto exchange last week in its new token listen to efforts. As Smartereum reported, the prominent U.S.-based exchange announced that it was “exploring” 31 tokens to be listed on its platform including EOS and other top coins like Stellar Lumens [XLM], Cardano [ADA] and NEO.

The exchange explained that it was working to list most of the top digital assets on its platform. The statement read:

“As we announced in September, Coinbase’s goal is to offer support for all assets that meet our standards and are fully compliant with local law. Over time, we intend to offer our customers access to greater than 90% of all compliant digital assets by market cap…Our listing process may result in some of these assets being listed solely for customers to buy and sell, without the ability to send or receive using a local wallet. Finally, as per our listing process, we will add new assets on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, which allows us to add assets efficiently and responsibly.”
