Having not seen a recent response from anyone, I went forward with the suggestion from @peerchemist and sent another request to Coinbase. This is another in a growing number of such requests I have sent to Coinbase. I will follow up here with any responses I receive from them so that Peercoin development folks can help meet the requirements.
Hi, I am writing again to request that Peercoin be listed on your service so that I can purchase PPC directly using USD. The Peercoin development community has suggested that I write to you about this, so I am. If there’s anything I can do as a user to facilitate the listing of PPC on your platform then please let me know so that I can take action as well as pass along this information to other users and the Peercoin development folks. Thank you!
Thanks for the note! We are always open to new ideas and your suggestions are much appreciated.
Though I can’t provide any specifics about when and if we are planning on supporting additional cryptocurrencies on Coinbase.com, I’ve captured this feedback to pass along to our product team.
I emailed CB too. here was my message. CB is going public in 2021 and getting “green” for the new administration is something that may resonate w/ them.
This morning I spent a few minutes thumbing through their application process on Coinbase Asset Hub. It states:
Have you completed a Rosetta integration? This is a requirement for listing a native blockchain asset on Coinbase.
Question: my understanding is that v0.10 catches Peercoin up with Bitcoin core. Does that include Rosetta integration (since Coinbase obviously trades Bitcoin).
v0.10 only refers to code upgrades to the core protocol. Rosetta is a separate piece of software, but it is on the list of non-protocol items that need to be completed.
In my opinion Peercoin’s listing on Coinbase is one of the most important steps. Peercoin can not be successful without wide adoption. Don’t get me wrong: I am in Peercoin since 2013 and still think it’s a really great project and has everything to become an even better one (the green bitcoin). But without a solid userbase and sufficient funds it will have a hard time getting there. Coinbase would definitely fuel its development. Nevertheless: keep up your good work. Cheers.

Thanks @Justin618 for helping to keep this on the radar! As we inch closer to a time when more folks will want to hold rather than trade incessantly, having a reliable way purchase PPC directly with fiat money, rather than purchasing BTC and then losing value when trading that for PPC, will be critical. I think it’s already critical, but who am I?
Thanks also to @peerchemist and @Sentinelrv for their hard work and dedication to making this happen by ensuring that Rosetta is on the roadmap and not forgotten.
While I already contribute monthly to development via my Open Collective commitment, I would also consider chipping in something extra earmarked specifically for the Rosetta / Coinbase effort.
Just curious if there is any update on PPC being listed on coinbase. You guys have been around for a while so I’m surprised this hasn’t happened yet tbh.
