Ah, the glamorous world of cryptocurrency, where even the biggest exchanges occasionally take a nap. This week, one of the largest crypto exchanges, Coinbase, is going to temporarily shut itself down for some routine “maintenance” (a.k.a. fiddling with the knobs and buttons behind the scenes). This means users might encounter a bit of inconvenience – but, don’t worry, it’s not the apocalypse. Probably.
Coinbase’s Weekend Adventure
On October 25th, at precisely 7 AM PT, Coinbase will vanish from the digital ether for a short period of time, all in the name of a “scheduled systems upgrade.” It’s the kind of thing that sounds like they’ll be doing important technical things, but we all know it’s just an excuse to finally clean the digital coffee stains.
“All trading (except perpetuals futures on INTX) across Coinbase.com (Simple and Advanced Trade), Coinbase Exchange, and Coinbase Prime will be unavailable. All transfers will be unavailable on Coinbase Exchange, and any in-flight transfers will be delayed,” the announcement confidently states. They even bolded it for extra emphasis, like you’re supposed to be really worried.
The wise folks at Coinbase suggest you follow their social media updates during this brief break, as if this is going to be the next big drama of the year. A bit like watching a soap opera, but with fewer tears and more digital assets.
Users, of course, have taken to the platform to express their displeasure about this upgrade happening precisely during the weekend, because, let’s face it, who doesn’t want to trade crypto when they’re supposed to be doing something more fun like, I don’t know, not staring at screens?
Coinbase isn’t alone in the “oops, we broke it” club. Just last month, Binance had its own meltdown during a market crash on October 10th. The number of errors and glitches was staggering, with users unable to place orders – which sounds like something you might expect from a bargain bin arcade game. Afterward, Binance set up a multi-million-dollar fund, because, apparently, that’s what billion-dollar companies do when they screw up. Nice!
Coinbase’s Recent Listings (Because, Why Not?)
In more exciting news, Coinbase recently announced that Binance Coin (BNB) might be getting cozy in their exchange. Yes, that’s right: their biggest competitor’s coin, because who doesn’t love a bit of healthy competition?
Despite the dramatic irony, Coinbase added BNB on October 22nd, making it available on the website, app, and even the ultra-fancy Coinbase Advanced. The opening of the BNB-USD trading pair will happen when the “liquidity conditions are met.” Translation: when the crypto gods decide it’s time.
“The opening of our BNB-USD trading pair will begin when liquidity conditions are met, in regions where trading is supported,” they said, in a statement that sounds like something you’d hear in a suspense thriller.
Coinbase has also introduced other cryptos like aPriori (APR) and Meteora (MET) to their roster. Meanwhile, they decided to cancel trading for Freysa (FAI) and Moonwell (WELL) perpetual contracts, because who needs those, right?
