Today, on September 16, 2019, Coinbase begins accepting inbound transfers of DASH to Coinbase Pro. It starts accepting deposits for 12 hours prior to enabling full trading. Trading will begin on or after 9AM Pacific Standard Time on Tuesday, September 17, if liquidity conditions are met.

Once sufficient supply of DASH is established on the platform, trading on the DASH/USD, and DASH/BTC order books will start in phases, beginning with post-only mode and proceeding to full trading should our metrics for a healthy market be met. Support for DASH will be immediately available in Coinbase’s supported jurisdictions, with the exception of New York State and the United Kingdom. Additional jurisdictions may be added at a later date.

Created in 2014, Dash is a cryptocurrency optimized for payments that has optional speed and privacy features. At this time, Coinbase will not support these features. Dash is accepted at over 4,000 merchants worldwide. Its unique network architecture consists of both regular miners and privileged machines called Masternodes. Through its off-chain community governance system, anyone can submit and vote on proposals to improve the ecosystem’s functionality, utility, and adoption.

However, Coinbase notes that DASH is not yet available on Coinbase.com or via our consumer mobile apps. A separate announcement will be made if and when this functionality is added.
