US-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has announced its decision to list two new altcoins on the spot market. The exchange stated that Aztec (AZTEC) and Espresso (ESP) tokens will be available for trading starting February 12, 2026. Trading will be launched gradually in supported regions, provided sufficient liquidity conditions are met.
According to Coinbase's official statement, both tokens operate on the Ethereum network using the ERC-20 standard.
AZTEC Listing Details
Aztec (AZTEC) will be available on Coinbase's spot market with the AZTEC/USD trading pair. Trading will begin on February 12th, local time. The token operates on the Ethereum (ERC-20) network, and its official contract address is 0xA27EC0006e59f245217Ff08CD52A7E8b169E62D2. AZTEC trading will be open 24/7. Users will be able to trade via Coinbase's website and mobile app, as well as Coinbase Advanced. The Coinbase Exchange platform, which serves institutional investors, will also support AZTEC transactions.
AZTEC stands out as a project known for its privacy-focused solutions. Its structure, which aims to provide higher scalability and data privacy on Ethereum, has recently attracted attention in terms of decentralized finance and institutional use cases. Coinbase's listing decision may contribute to the project overcoming an important threshold in terms of liquidity and visibility.
ESP Listing Details
Another token on Coinbase's listing schedule is Espresso (ESP). ESP will be available for trading on the spot market with the ESP/USD trading pair as of February 12. Like AZTEC, ESP also operates on the Ethereum network using the ERC-20 standard. The token's contract address has been announced as 0x031De51F3E8016514Bd0963d0B2AB825A591Db9A. ESP transactions will also be conducted on a 24/7 basis. Individual investors will be able to trade on the Coinbase Website, Coinbase App, and Coinbase Advanced platforms. Institutional investors will be able to buy and sell ESP through Coinbase Exchange.
Espresso is known for its technical infrastructure developed for cross-blockchain interoperability and transaction verification processes. In particular, its solutions in the areas of modular blockchain architectures and data availability shape the project's technical vision. The Coinbase listing is a critical step for ESP in terms of accessing a global investor base. It was also listed by Binance with a "seed tag" earlier in the morning. Listings Will Begin Depending on Liquidity
Coinbase emphasized that transactions for both tokens are contingent upon sufficient liquidity being provided. This means that transactions may start in limited areas or with low volume in the initial phase. As liquidity depth increases, trading pairs are expected to become fully active.
