Coinbase Suspends BLAST Trading, Sets October 26 Withdrawal Deadline
Key Takeaways
- •Coinbase has suspended buying and selling of the BLAST token on its platform.
- •Customers holding BLAST on the exchange must move it off before October 26, 2026.
- •The deadline is tied to the shutdown of the Blast network, an Ethereum layer 2 that issued the token.
- •Once the network stops operating, BLAST withdrawals will be impossible, leaving unclaimed exchange balances stranded.
- •Coinbase will announce any changes to the timeline or process through its product updates.

Coinbase has suspended trading in BLAST and is instructing customers who hold the token on the exchange to move it off the platform before October 26, 2026.
The company outlined the change in a product update, tying the cutoff to the shutdown of the Blast network, an Ethereum layer 2 — a type of network built on of Ethereum that processes activity off the main chain — which issued the token and is set to stop operating.
With trading support removed, BLAST can no longer be bought or sold on the platform. Coinbase is directing holders to withdraw their balances ahead of the October 26 deadline.
The deadline carries weight because it is tied to the network itself going offline. Withdrawals of BLAST depend on the Blast network to process transfers, so once the network stops operating, balances still held on the exchange would have no way to move off it — a sharper outcome than a routine delisting, where holders can typically relocate tokens to another venue or to self-custody while the underlying network remains live.
For affected customers, the steps Coinbase has laid out are straightforward: check whether the exchange holds a BLAST balance and withdraw it before October 26, 2026, with any changes to the timeline or process to be communicated through Coinbase's product updates.
