Mina crypto's forecast has been boosted by its Coinbase listing

Mina is working on a bridge to other blockchains. If the work is successful, it would make it easier for projects currently on Ethereum and other platforms to come to Mina, increasing demand for the token and its value.

Mina's broad exchange support and its accessibility could lift its demand and price as well. The support of a big platform like Coinbase also lends the crypto credibility. If the pieces fall into place for Mina, the crypto could regain its near-$10 peak in 2022 and maybe even touch a new high.
