Coinbase Announces Support For Paul Atkins-Linked Reserve Rights (RSR)

Hold Your Hats! Coinbase is Adding RSR, and Paul Atkins Might Just Be the Hero You Didn’t Know You Needed

Well, well, well, folks! It looks like Coinbase has decided to roll out the red carpet for Reserve Rights (RSR) on the Base network. If you’re one of those “Oh, another crypto announcement? Yawn” types, think again! This is *big*. The exchange is letting us play with the RSR token in regions where trading is supported (lucky you if you’re in one of those). Transfers are already up and running on Coinbase and Coinbase Exchange – because, why not make life easier, right?

Coinbase Listing Coincides With Paul Atkin’s Development

So, what’s cooking, you ask? Well, let me tell you. RSR is on the up and up, and Coinbase is joining the fun at precisely the moment RSR is having an excellent day at the market. You won’t believe this – RSR surged 7.7% in the last 24 hours, 7.2% over seven days, and a glorious 24.3% over the last month. Forget about your regular gains – this thing is on fire! 🔥

Coinbase will add support for Reserve Rights (RSR) on the Base network. Don’t send this asset over other networks unless you’re okay with losing your funds (seriously, who does that?). Transfers are available on @Coinbase & @CoinbaseExch in regions where trading is supported.

Now, before you rush off to get your hands on some RSR, remember that this surge in excitement isn’t just due to the token’s performance. Oh no! It has a little something to do with Paul Atkins – yes, *that* Paul Atkins – and his very cozy relationship with Reserve Rights. It seems that Atkins was part of the team in the early days, advising the Reserve Rights Foundation. Talk about a blast from the past!

Coinbase’s timing here is suspiciously… *perfect*. It just so happens that Atkins, the former SEC Commissioner, is now confirmed as the next Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under President Trump. No big deal, right? Just a coincidence. Or maybe, just maybe, there’s more to this listing than meets the eye?

The connection to Atkins has made waves, especially because he’s got a history with the Reserve Rights project. He gave the project some early advice back when it was just a little twinkle in its creator’s eye. And, surprise, surprise, Nevin Freeman, Reserve’s CEO, has nothing but glowing words for Atkins. “Balanced regulation” – that’s the magic phrase. Who doesn’t love a little balance?

I’m pleased to hear that Paul Atkins is in the running for SEC chair!

Paul has been open to working with crypto clients in his consultancy since 2017. I believe he would take a principled approach and I’d be very excited to work with him and his team on productive rule makings…

Some market wizards (aka experts) are betting that this whole *Atkins for SEC Chair* thing might just spell the dawn of a crypto-friendly regulatory age. With that kind of buzz, no wonder RSR is flying high in the market. Just think of the opportunities that could come out of it – who wouldn’t want a sprinkle of crypto-friendly magic dust on their portfolio?

And if you thought things couldn’t get any juicier, here’s the cherry on top: Coinbase is also in the middle of a legal tussle with Oregon’s Attorney General. Someone’s not happy with them, but hey, who’s got time for lawsuits when you’ve got new listings to celebrate, am I right?
