I find it interesting they added zcash but not monero
Zcash with only t-addr support is very similar to Bitcoin, on a technical level, and therefore may be easier for Coinbase's eng team to integrate.
They may have decided that deposits of zcash should be sent in the clear, not anonymously. I believe monero is always anonymous, so maybe they didn't want to deal with that?
I'm more surprised about 0x though...
