DebtReliefBot (DRB), the Base memecoin that Grok named and the Bankr bot deployed in March 2025, is listed on Coinbase. Coinbase added it to its roadmap on August 21, 2026 and announced a DRB-USD pair on August 24. On October 7 DRB traded near $0.000194, about half its March 2025 high.

Correction, October 7 The first version of this page, written August 26, dated Coinbase's announcement August 25 and kept the status at announced. Reports date the announcement August 24, and CoinGecko now shows Coinbase Exchange as the DRB venue with the most 24-hour volume.

Where it stands

Coinbase Markets put DRB on its listing roadmap on Friday, August 21, in the same batch as Basecat, Grass and Dolphin. On Monday, August 24, it announced spot trading for DRB and Basecat on its website, apps, Coinbase Advanced and institutional exchange. Availability depends on liquidity conditions and varies by region. Bitcoin Sistemi covered the announcement a day later, which is the date our first version used.

Crypto Briefing's August 26 report on Grass said Coinbase had already run its launch sequence for DRB-USD: an auction phase, then limit-only trading, then all order types. By October 7, CoinGecko showed about $218,000 of 24-hour volume on Coinbase's DRB/USD market, narrowly ahead of Uniswap V3 on Base.

How DRB began, and the May exploit

In March 2025 someone on X asked Grok, xAI's chatbot, to suggest a memecoin name. Grok proposed DebtReliefBot, ticker DRB. The Bankr bot, an autonomous deployment agent, launched the token on Base through the Clanker protocol within minutes, with a supply of 100 billion tokens. By the project's account no human chose the ticker or wrote the contract, which earned DRB the label of the first agent-to-agent token. Clanker routes a share of DRB trading fees to a wallet designated for Grok.

It is not an AI product, a protocol or a revenue story. Coinbase listed a Base ERC-20 token with distribution, a trading history and an origin story people repeat. We call it a memecoin first and an AI-agent token second.

On May 4, 2026 the origin story became a security case. An attacker used a prompt injection to make Grok's Bankr-linked wallet send 3 billion DRB to addresses the attacker controlled, OurCryptoTalk reported. Accounts value the haul at $150,000 to $200,000. They disagree on recovery: one says no funds came back, another says about 80 percent were returned after mediation.

How it traded and what could go wrong

The price moved ahead of the news. On August 26 DRB traded near $0.000176 with about $1.4 million in daily volume, up roughly 590 percent over the seven days that held both the roadmap post and the announcement, CoinGecko showed. On October 7 it traded at $0.000194, about 10 percent above that level, with a market cap near $19.4 million and a 30-day decline of about 27.6 percent.

CoinGecko's all-time high is $0.000407, set on March 11, 2025, days after launch. DRB has not regained it. Because all 100 billion tokens count as circulating, a market cap this small leaves the order book thin, and one market maker's inventory decisions can dominate it.

Coinbase is one venue among several. Uniswap V3 and Aerodrome on Base carry nearly as much volume, so on-chain pools still set much of the price. Our listings guide explains why a roadmap or listing headline often moves a small token before the pair opens.

What to watch next:

  • Whether Coinbase's DRB/USD volume stays ahead of the on-chain pools.
  • Any new Grok or Bankr wallet incident, since AI agents can move funds.
  • The August 26 level near $0.000176 as a reference for the listing gain.

Whether DRB is a curiosity or a holding is a question this page does not answer, and nothing here is financial advice. The tokenomics primer covers how to weigh an asset whose main fundamental is an anecdote. Its sibling from the same Coinbase batch, Basecat, has its own page.

Not financial advice Listings often spike and then fade once the first wave of buyers is done. Nothing here is a suggestion to buy this token. Check dates on the exchange's own announcement page before trading: schedules slip. Our listing reaction data shows how new listings have typically traded.
