> a lot of the big gains for a particular coin are made before coinbase authorizes that coin

interesting observation. it seems to be the case for binance as well. i see coins gaining 20-30x before or right when it gets listed. perhaps “insider” trading right before a coin listing?

As for coin curation i suppose thats as a means to filter out scams.

A lot of listing is preceded by extensive campaigns to build support to get a coin listed. It's unsurprising that this leads to prices going up. "Insider" is extremely vague here given that a lot of this will be activity surrounding the dev teams that may or may not have anything to do with the people who started the coin.

Perhaps there is also an element of limiting competition for vested interests?
