In the first week of December 2025, Coinbase — the largest exchange in the USA — added five new assets to its listing roadmap. This move signaled a positive change in the recovery of demand from American investors.
Moreover, Bithumb listed new altcoins. Although market sentiment remains cautious, several indicators show that investor appetite in the USA is improving.
Coinbase and Bithumb add new altcoins
In a new announcement, Coinbase revealed that five new assets have been added to its listing roadmap.
The roadmap is a list of tokens that Coinbase is evaluating for a potential future listing. Coinbase emphasized that the listing depends on market maker support and the availability of sufficient technical infrastructure. The exchange will announce the trading schedule later.
Assets added to the roadmap today: Humidifi (WET), zkPass (ZKP), Plume (PLUME), Hyperlane (HYPER), and Jupiter (JUPITER)https://t.co/lyEugQo7Cv

Recently added altcoins include:
Humidifi (WET) – the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) on Solana by volume, handling over $1 billion in daily trades.
zkPass (ZKP) on Ethereum (ERC-20), known for zero-knowledge proof technology that enhances data privacy.
Plume (PLUME) on Ethereum, a RWAfi (Real World Assets Finance) platform integrating with Circle's Arc testnet. It aims to connect traditional finance with DeFi.
Hyperlane (HYPER) on the Base network, enabling communication between different blockchains.
Jupiter (JUPITER) on Solana, the leading DEX aggregator in the Solana ecosystem.
Among them, Humidifi (WET) and zkPass (ZKP) largely remain unlisted on centralized exchanges. The remaining altcoins showed no significant price reactions after the announcement.
Additionally, the Korean exchange Bithumb announced two new listings traded in KRW: BOB (Build on Bitcoin) and OriginTrail (TRAC).
BOB is a protocol that combines ZK proofs and BTC staking to create native bridges to Ethereum and Bitcoin (BitVM). OriginTrail is an ecosystem that builds a reliable knowledge infrastructure for artificial intelligence. Following the announcement of the listing, BOB gained 24% and TRAC rose over 13%.
Signs of liquidity are turning positive again
These developments occurred as the Coinbase Premium Index — an indicator that measures the price difference of Bitcoin between Coinbase and other exchanges, representing demand from U.S. investors — turned positive again after being negative for an entire month.
The index has remained negative since November, indicating capital outflows from the U.S. The reversal at the beginning of December suggests that sentiment among institutional and retail investors in the U.S. is improving. This change may favor inflows not only into Bitcoin but also into other cryptocurrencies.
"The Bitcoin premium index on Coinbase just turned positive again, showing new demand... U.S. liquidity is returning and real movement will begin soon," investor Money Ape commented.
At the same time, the stablecoin market recorded strong growth, reinforcing confidence in an overall recovery. According to Lookonchain, Tether issued an additional 1 billion USDT on Tron on December 3. This raised the market value of stablecoins on Tron to above $80.2 billion.
As a result, the total market capitalization of stablecoins began to rise again in early December, following a decline in November. It is now above $306.85 billion, according to DefiLlama.
Leon Waidmann, head of research at the Onchain Foundation, expects the market capitalization of stablecoins to hit new historical records soon.
The addition of new altcoins by Coinbase and Bithumb, combined with increased demand from American investors and rising stablecoin inflows, could trigger a recovery of altcoins in December. Some analysts further argue that the end of quantitative tightening (QT) by the Fed could spark a multi-year rally for altcoins, similar to the period from 2019 to 2022.
