Dogecoin trading coming to Coinbase Thursday

Dogecoin, the joke cryptocurrency that surged to record highs in May, will begin trading on Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange, on Thursday. The company also said its Coinbase Card will begin working with Apple Pay and Google Pay this week for select members, which will allow cardholders to use their crypto to pay for purchases via the payment services.

Starting Tuesday, Coinbase Pro members can begin adding Dogecoin to their accounts in preparation for when trading starts on Thursday at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT, according to a company blog post. Coinbase says there must be a sufficient amount of Dogecoin available for trades, and that it may halt trading if it "does not meet our assessment for a healthy and orderly market."
