What do you think about this? Can it positively affect the price of bitcoin?

They are NOT adding support for these coins. They do not claim they will allow you to buy/sell the Bitcoin forks. The statement simply says they will allow users to withdraw forked coins, something they should have done a long time ago.

Yes, this is correct. @OP read the article again.

You can withdraw those forked coins but coinbase never stated that they added bitcoin forks to their service. You get the free coins and that's all.

With bitcoincash and BTG of users all to themselves, I don't see theirs any more of good bitcoin fork coming worth mentioning.
If they really intend to work for users, they should credit the two forks before anything.

Possibly, although I doubt it.  However, as one of the only fiat exit points it will definitely make it much easier to track how the coins are spent.

It simply says they are not supporting it right now but to adding the new assets due to the a lot of demands to request new assets to be listed on the coinbase platform still on the analyzation and consideration.
I guess they said that the assets must comply with DAF to be listed on the coinbase platform. I think that coinbase never supporting bitcoin fork because there is no utiliuty usage on there.

This is correct as you have said
It is a slow program on their part
Thanks for sharing more light to the issue
