I really like GDAX and Coinbase due to FDIC and USD pairs. I don't like the limited amount of coins they trade. Have you heard any rumors about them expanding the coins they trade?

A while back Brian Armstrong was asking on Twitter for suggestions for new coins - don't know what came of it.

GDAX/Coinbase are very conservative, they don't like the idea of delisting coins, so will only list coins they think will be there permanently. Look at the struggle Litecoin went through to get listed!

I think the criteria for new coins is a) huge sustained volume, b) innovative developers c) real evidence of adoption

Not many coins fit that bill

They're definitely pushing into altcoins more and more. But they move much, much slower than other exchanges to add coins. BCH around the end of the year, hopefully more to come.

I don't know about GDAX but I am avoiding Coinbase because they have bigger fees than competition and the difference in price (buying vs. selling) is also too big on Coinbase.

GDAX has 0% maker fees. Don't use Coinbase. Transfer your funds to GDAX and trade for free. Market orders are expensive; don't use them.

Not sure what you mean by increasing the number of coins, I mean do you want to buy more coins than they have? I doubt that. They have enough coins.

What I mean is choice of coins to trade. All GDAX offers is BTC, ETH, and LTC
