Coinbase, the largest US cryptocurrency exchange, has rapidly continued its list of AltCoin, and last night announced it would list Altcoin Researchcoin (RSC) on Base Network.
Following this listing news, the price of ResearchCoin (RSC), a ResearchHub's reward token, has skyrocketed, up about 12% over the past 24 hours.
Coinbase's ResearchCoin list has sparked controversy, with RSC expressing concern on social media about a potential conflict of interest with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.
