Customers can place and cancel limit orders, while transactions may still execute when matching orders become available. Limit-only mode prevents traders from submitting market orders. It gives customers more control over their requested prices during the transition, although an order may remain unfilled when sufficient liquidity is unavailable. The restrictions apply to Coinbase’s retail, professional and institutional trading services. After the Sept. 28 deadline, customers will no longer be able to buy or sell either token through the affected Coinbase platforms. Coinbase did not announce any automatic conversion program for remaining balances. This differs from its earlier handling of DAI, when eligible customer balances were scheduled for conversion into USDS after trading ended. Withdrawals remain available after trading ends Customers will retain access to their BADGER and STORJ balances. Coinbase said users will continue to have the ability to withdraw both assets, and it did not announce a withdrawal deadline. A trading suspension therefore does not mean that Coinbase has frozen the tokens. Customers can leave supported balances on the platform or transfer them to compatible external wallets. Anyone transferring funds must verify the receiving address and supported blockchain before approving an irreversible transaction. BADGER is the governance token associated with Badger DAO, a decentralized finance project focused on bringing Bitcoin-linked assets into DeFi. STORJ serves as a payment token within the Storj decentralized cloud-storage ecosystem. The loss of Coinbase trading could reduce access to both tokens for customers who rely on the exchange. Other centralized and decentralized markets may continue supporting them, subject to regional restrictions and the platforms’ own listing decisions.
