Why coinbase has choose ethereum classic to be listed ????

When coinbase has asked to crypto community for the listing of the coins then noone was serious about this and the team coinbase has also asked ETC to deal with them and they confirm their registration and as soon as the news revealed the price of the Ethereum classic went from 13$ to 16$ within an hour.

So what was the reason behind which coinbase bypass ripple and choose to add ETC on the coinbase?

As per the Digital Asset Framework: Digital Asset Framework keeps tab of the performance of the crypto assets and estimates the stability and the prospects of the digital assets. Ethereum Classic accords to most of the points in the Digital Asset Framework. After almost two years of the hard fork, Ethereum Classic has the looks of a separate promising altcoin that has a good development team with a distinguished roadmap.
also the points like trading volume and its the forck of ethereum the potential of ETC is same as like ETH so to choose the coin ETC will be better in future instead of choosing other shit coins.
