Coinbase to suspend BADGER and STORJ trading on Sept. 28

Coinbase announced that trading for Badger DAO’s governance token (BADGER) and Storj’s payment token (STORJ) will be suspended at approximately 2:00 p.m. ET on September 28, 2026. The suspension applies to all Coinbase platforms, including Simple and Advanced Trade, Coinbase Exchange, and Coinbase Prime.

Limit‑only order books before suspension

Prior to the cutoff, both order books have been placed in limit‑only mode. Users can place and cancel limit orders, but market orders are blocked. Trades may still execute when matching limit orders are found, though liquidity constraints could leave orders unfilled.

Withdrawals remain available

Even after trading ends, customers will retain full access to their BADGER and STORJ balances and can withdraw the assets to external wallets. Coinbase has not set a withdrawal deadline or announced any automatic conversion program.

Background on the tokens

BADGER is the governance token for Badger DAO, a DeFi project focused on Bitcoin‑linked assets. STORJ is used as a payment token within the Storj decentralized cloud‑storage network.

Market impact

At the time of reporting, BADGER was trading near $0.37, down about 4% over 24 hours, while STORJ was around $0.074. Coinbase did not attribute these price movements to the suspension, and no clear market‑reaction pattern was evident.

Other upcoming suspensions

Coinbase has also scheduled the suspension of IoTeX trading on September 23, 2026, and previously halted five tokens in August. Withdrawals for those assets remained open after trading stopped.

What users should do

• Complete any desired trades before the September 28 deadline, keeping in mind the limit‑only restriction.
• Verify external wallet addresses and supported blockchains before withdrawing.
• Monitor other exchanges for continued trading of BADGER and STORJ, as availability may vary by platform.
