Renowned crypto exchange Coinbase has confirmed the decision to list Neon EVM (NEON) on the Solana (SOL) ecosystem. 

The announcement of the Solana-based SLP coin listing on Coinbase triggered excitement among crypto players.

NEON tokens enable Ethereum (ETH) creators to develop and deploy their decentralized applications on Solana.

The exchange will start supporting the altcoin on 30 April, at noon ET, whereas trading will begin after Coinbase ensures adequate liquidity. 

Furthermore, the investment firm will restrict NEON trading, potentially due to varying legal frameworks of different jurisdictions.

Neon EVM has attracted attention in the crypto world with its capabilities to connect Ethereum and Solana.

That allows ETH developers to deploy their dApps on SOL without adjusting codebases. 

Neon EVM facilitates that due to its smooth compatibility with Ethereum Virtual Machine and its technology that runs ETH decentralized applications. 

Moreover, Coinbase added the Canadian stablecoin QCAD to its updated roadmap.
