Coinbase opened GRASS-USD for full trading on August 26, 2026, five days after adding Grass to its listing roadmap on August 21. The pair is still online on October 7. GRASS trades near $0.64 that day, up about 91 percent in 30 days, and we found no announcement that explains the rise.
Where it stands
Coinbase Markets added four tokens to its public roadmap late on Friday, August 21: Basecat, DebtReliefBot, Dolphin and Grass. Coinbase's roadmap is a disclosure tool, not a listing announcement. It names assets under legal, security and technical review, and trading depends on market-maker support and infrastructure. Cryptorank's write-up was blunter: some roadmap assets list within weeks, some take months, and some never list. Grass was one of the fast ones.

Crypto Briefing covered the launch in two reports on August 26. The first reported limit-only mode for GRASS-USD on Coinbase Exchange and Coinbase Advanced. The second reported full trading, with market, limit and stop orders available. GRASS moved through Coinbase's standard launch sequence in a single day.
On August 25 Coinbase announced spot pairs for Basecat and DebtReliefBot, Bitcoin Sistemi reported, and Grass was not in that announcement. It followed a day later. On October 7 Coinbase's exchange API shows online markets for BASECAT-USD and DRB-USD as well as GRASS-USD. It returns no POD-USD product, so Dolphin has no confirmed pair yet.
Grass also trades elsewhere. CoinGecko lists a Kraken GRASS/USD market and a Bithumb GRASS/KRW market, and Bithumb's own market list carries KRW-GRASS. We could not find the dates of those listings. CoinGecko shows no Binance market.
Why Coinbase mattered more for Grass than for most tokens
Grass has enormous user distribution and had thin US exchange access. The network reports more than two million active nodes across 190 countries, run by people sharing bandwidth with a passive app, not by traders. Its Season 1 and Stage 2 reward programs paid a mass-market audience, and a large slice of it is American. A Coinbase listing closes that gap.
The token's history frames what a listing could fix. GRASS fell in July from around $0.60 into the mid $0.30s when Stage 2 rewards turned out to pay in USDC, not new tokens. A listing adds access and legitimacy. It does not add a demand story that the tokenomics lack, and the five-minute tokenomics read applies in full. The airdrop side stays on the Stage 2 page.
The roadmap pop, and the price since
The market ran the roadmap experiment quickly. Cryptorank reported that GRASS jumped roughly 24 percent when the post landed. By August 24 CoinGecko showed it near $0.32, about 10 percent down on the week, with a market cap around $213 million. At the August 26 launch GRASS changed hands between roughly $0.30 and $0.37, close to its pre-announcement level, so the repricing came with the announcement, not the listing.
Since then the price has doubled, and the roadmap-day pop looks small beside it. CoinGecko shows $0.640 on October 7, up 90.9 percent over 30 days but down 7.9 percent over seven. We found no Grass post, Coinbase notice or news report that explains the move. The trackers also disagree on supply, which changes the market cap by a factor of nearly three.
| Tracker | Price | Circulating supply | Market cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| CoinGecko | $0.640 | 699.5 million | $447.8 million |
| CoinMarketCap | $0.6389 | 243.9 million | $155.8 million |
Our listings guide covers why a roadmap-to-listing gap exists at all.
What to watch:
- A Coinbase pair announcement for Dolphin, the last token from the batch.
- A single circulating supply figure from Grass or the trackers.
- Any change in the GRASS-USD status from online.
