Coinbase has announced it will suspend trading for Badger DAO (BADGER) and Storj (STORJ) on September 28, 2026, at approximately 2 p.m. ET. The decision stems from the company's regular process of reviewing listed cryptocurrencies to confirm they continue to meet its established standards.

Details of the Trading Suspension

Trading will stop across Coinbase.com, including both Simple and Advanced Trade interfaces, as well as on Coinbase Exchange and Coinbase Prime. The suspension covers the relevant trading pairs for both assets.

In preparation, the order books for BADGER and STORJ have already been switched to limit-only mode. In this setting, users may still place and cancel limit orders, and matches can occur if corresponding orders exist. Market orders are no longer accepted.

Customers will keep full access to their BADGER and STORJ balances after the trading halt. Withdrawals of the tokens will remain available both before and after the September 28 cutoff.

Context Within Recent Platform Actions

This suspension follows an earlier announcement that trading for IoTeX (IOTX) will end on September 23, 2026, around the same time of day. That action also applies across the same Coinbase trading venues, with order books moved to limit-only mode in advance.

In early August, Coinbase paused several non-USD trading pairs as part of a liquidity-focused review, though the underlying assets continued to trade against USD. The pattern of these moves points to ongoing evaluation of listed assets rather than isolated decisions.

At the same time, the exchange has continued to expand its offerings. During August it added tokens including Basecat (BASECAT),DebtReliefBot (DRB),Dolphin (POD) and Grass (GRASS) to its listing roadmap, with some of those assets already available for trading by eligible customers.

What the Changes Mean for Holders

The trading suspension does not freeze or remove existing holdings. Users can continue to store the tokens in their Coinbase accounts and withdraw them to external wallets or other platforms that support the assets.

No specific rule violations or project developments were cited as the reason for the BADGER and STORJ decisions. Coinbase described the outcome solely as the result of its periodic review process.

The announcement adds to a series of listing adjustments Coinbase has made in recent months while it continues to introduce new digital assets and trading products on its platform.
