Coinbase Halts STORJ and BADGER Trading on September 28: What Holders Must Check Now

Coinbase will end trading in Badger DAO (BADGER) and Storj (STORJ) on September 28, 2026 at around 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, which is 8:00 p.m. German summer time. The step was announced on August 28, 2026. Anyone holding either token at Coinbase has roughly a month to choose between two routes: sell while trading is still open, or withdraw the balance to another address. The distinction matters right at the start, because it decides how urgent this is. What Coinbase has scheduled is a trading halt, and a trading halt is not a withdrawal deadline. Your balances do not disappear on September 28, and they will not be converted against your will. What ends is the ability to buy or sell the two tokens at Coinbase. Coinbase trading halt for STORJ and BADGER: what happens on September 28, 2026 Coinbase announced the measure on August 28, 2026 and set out two stages. The first took effect with the announcement itself: both order books were moved into what is known as limit-only mode. The second stage follows on September 28, when trading stops altogether. As its reason, Coinbase points to the regular review of listed assets against internal standards for liquidity and trading quality. This is no one-off decision. The exchange recently ended trading in IOTX, IDEX and LRC under the same procedure. That context comes from the reporting by Cryptobriefing on the announcement. What a trading halt is A trading halt means that an exchange closes the order books for an asset. From the cut-off date, buy and sell orders are no longer accepted and no longer matched. Custody of the balance carries on for as long as the exchange announces nothing to the contrary. Limit-only mode explained: why no market order has gone through since August 28 Limit-only mode is the state in which an order book accepts limit orders and nothing else. A limit order is an instruction carrying a maximum or minimum price that you set yourself, and it is filled only if someone stands on the other side at exactly that price. A market order is filled immediately at the next best available price, and that is precisely the order type Coinbase switched off for BADGER and STORJ when it made the announcement. For you this carries a practical consequence that is easy to overlook. You can still sell your holdings, but you need a counterparty willing to accept your limit. The thinner the order book becomes, the longer a fill can take, and the further the achievable price can drift from the level last quoted. Price discovery tends to thin out in this phase, and the effect grows stronger as the cut-off date approaches.
