Coinbase, a major US cryptocurrency exchange, has expanded its offerings by adding trading support for two new altcoins, aPriori (APR) and Meteora (MET), starting on October 23. The tokens are now available across Coinbase’s various platforms, including Coinbase.com, the mobile app, and Coinbase Advanced, with institutional access via Coinbase Exchange, subject to usual regional trading restrictions.
Both APR and MET are very new to the market, having launched just the day before their Coinbase listing.
- aPriori (APR) operates on the Ethereum network (ERC-20) and is the token for the aPriori network, a liquid staking platform on Monad that utilizes Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) strategies for enhanced user rewards. Following its launch, APR’s value has increased by 92.8%, trading at $0.61 at the time of writing. Its contract address is
0x5a9610919f5e81183823a2be4bd1beb2b4da2a20. - Meteora (MET) is the native token for Meteora, a decentralized liquidity protocol on the Solana network (SPL). It features products like the Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM) and Dynamic Automated Market Maker (DAMM). Despite its high-profile listing (it’s also on Bybit, Gate.io, OKX, and KuCoin), MET’s price has been volatile, dropping 15% since its debut to trade at $0.58. Its contract address is

The listing of MET is happening amid controversy. The project has faced criticism regarding its airdrop, where wallets allegedly tied to insiders of the TRUMP meme-coin project received about $4.2 million in MET tokens. Furthermore, Meteora founder Benjamin Chow is a defendant in a class-action lawsuit concerning alleged misconduct related to earlier meme-coin projects, LIBRA and MELANIA.
