# Coinbase adds Pearl to its listing roadmap, as PEARL. On Coinbase, “PRL” is another coin

https://www.learnpearl.org/news/coinbase-roadmap-pearl-ticker/ · October 20, 2026 · Markets

A roadmap entry isn’t a listing. The lasting lesson is the ticker: on exchanges, native Pearl is PEARL, and PRL usually means something else.

## What happened

On October 19, 2026, at 19:40 UTC, Coinbase’s asset-listing account [posted](https://x.com/CoinbaseAssets/status/2112267624289620129): “Assets added to the roadmap today: Axis Labs (AXIS), Pearl (PEARL), and Stable (STABLE)”. The post gave no trading date and didn’t say whether Coinbase would support deposits and withdrawals on the Pearl network.

- **Pearl on Coinbase’s roadmap:** Oct 19 · Announced by Coinbase, as PEARL · _Third-party claim_
- **Trading on Coinbase:** Not yet · No date given · _Planned_

## Two tickers, two different coins

Pearl Research Labs and this site call the coin PRL. Market sites mostly don’t: CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap and now Coinbase list native Pearl as PEARL. Meanwhile, Coinbase’s existing PRL market is [Perle](https://api.exchange.coinbase.com/currencies/PRL), a token on Solana, and so are the PRL markets on Upbit, KuCoin, Gate and MEXC.

> **Buying “PRL” on Coinbase today gets you Perle.** Whatever the ticker, check the network: native Pearl moves only on the Pearl network, to addresses starting with prl1. [Which “Pearl” is which](https://www.learnpearl.org/which-pearl/) untangles every name.

## Futures came first

Derivatives venues moved before any big spot exchange. On October 9, Aster opened a PEARLUSDT perpetual futures market; its older PRLUSDT market, from March, is Perle. A perpetual future is a contract on the price: you can’t withdraw a coin from it.

## What it means for you

- **Wallet users and holders:** nothing changes. Native PRL stays in your Pearl wallet.
- **Buyers:** if Coinbase lists Pearl, check the asset name, the PEARL ticker and the withdrawal network before you buy, then [withdraw a small test amount](https://www.learnpearl.org/buy-pearl/).
- **Miners and node operators:** nothing changes.

## What isn’t established

- Whether and when Coinbase will open trading.
- Whether Coinbase would support native deposits and withdrawals on the Pearl network, or trading only.
- Anything about the network itself. A listing changes where PRL can be bought, not what Pearl does.
