coins on different exchanges?

different coin every exchanger caused the price fluctuation, so big in the gap ask and bid request

Anyone know how or why certain exchanges only choose to carry certain coins? An exchange like coinbase only offers BTC, LTC and ETH. I don't even see the point of trading there.

Because it is really not made for trading sir. There are no traders there but only people who want to convert their fiat or btc/eth/ltc directly and not doing buy and sell orders. Coinbase is like cash in and cash out service.

i think they only pick a coins which have a good price and have good support like you mention it. coinbase is not a trading but its only for exchanges for the coins so we can not found many coins listed in that sites. some of us saving their coins in coinbase so if the price is increase then they can sell it directly in coinbase without login into exchanges site. maybe they like to do this but the other will prefer using exchanges to trading.

If you want to trade, even Coinbase has his own exchange: Gdax.com

When you want to trade between BTC/LTC/ETH/fiat you can do this thru GDAX.com - as maker you don't even have to pay a fee.

But when you want to trade other coins, as already mentioned several times, there are other exchanges like Poloniex and Bittrex.

They must agree with token developers. And infrustructure of exchange must support that token. It is Not so easy for both sides.

I do not think that this is the problem from that side or any issue is like that but they find only these coins as working better for them and fr them these coins are enough  that is why they are not adding the other coming tokens and altcoins to them. I think that is in their rules and maybe if they find beneficial then they add any of the best coin.

Coinbase's role was really for buying and sell mainly for btc. They just added Eth and Ltc only because it was widely used and very popular and their site was really never meant for trading.

Correct, but: they also have GDAX.com - and that's the exchange of Coinbase, surely meant for trading.
