But hive is listed on Coinbase, not for trade but is listed, right?

I don't use Coinbase, but I always heard it wasn't listed there. But I'm not sure how you're distinguishing lists from trading. Are you saying they will "custody" hive, but not allow buying/selling of it?

Maybe I'm mistaking concepts, by listed I mean this https://www.coinbase.com/price/hive-blockchain
Anyway, as far as I know we need this https://github.com/coinbase/rosetta-specifications, to Hive be tradable on Coinbase
