Coinbase Launches Aztec and Espresso Spot Trading on February 12, 2026

The available evidence collectively supports the likelihood that Coinbase launched Aztec (AZTEC) and Espresso (ESP) spot trading around February 12, 2026, though not with complete certainty. Reports from industry sources with moderate to high authority, such as PANews and KuCoin News, reference official Coinbase communications and indicate that full trading for these tokens occurred or was scheduled in early February 2026. These independent reports are internally consistent and point to February 12 as the effective start date. However, none of the sources present a direct, verifiable confirmation from Coinbase’s own newsroom or press release, and one highly relevant source describes a similar listing date for Aztec on MEXC rather than Coinbase, introducing a minor ambiguity. Overall, the data quality and alignment are strong enough to suggest this statement is probably true, but the lack of direct confirmation from Coinbase itself reduces certainty to a medium confidence level.
