No. Coinbase says listing assets is free and always has been, with no listing or application fees. Projects apply through coinbase.com/listings; Coinbase says due diligence averages about one week, trading can be enabled within about two weeks of approval, and review to listing is generally under 30 days, though it can be much shorter or longer. Approved tokens launch in phases: transfer-only, an auction of at least 10 minutes, then limit-only or full trading.
