This was kind of a shock, most ERC20 tokens are ICOs, and it is very unlikely Coinbase will add them. Those tokens are considered securities.

I agree it is a bit of a surprise given the companies historically cautious policy regarding adding new coins. I think they are just adding the support for ERC20 tokens and not necessarily listing them on GDAX or the Coinbase Retail Platform. I think it means you will be able to use your Coinbase wallet to send and receive tokens only. This will allow them to recover mistakenly sent tokens to Coinbase wallets.
