IoTeX on Coinbase: IOTX Trading Halt on September 23 and What Holders Should Check

Coinbase will halt trading in IoTeX (IOTX) on September 23, 2026. Your balance stays where it is and you can still withdraw. What goes away is the option to sell IOTX on Coinbase. Eight days earlier, on September 15, the IoTeX network also disappears from the standard view in Trust Wallet. Anyone holding IOTX therefore has two dates in the same month, and each of them affects a different part of their holdings. This piece sorts both dates, separates confirmed information from figures merely doing the rounds, and describes the order in which to work through your holdings. One thing up front: in both cases this is about access to your coins, not about owning them. That is precisely the distinction that regularly gets lost in reports about delistings. What Happens to IOTX on Coinbase on September 23, 2026 Coinbase announced in late August that it would suspend trading in IOTX. According to the announcement by Coinbase Markets, it affects Coinbase.com with Simple Trade and Advanced Trade, plus Coinbase Exchange and Coinbase Prime. The exchange gives the timing as September 23, 2026 at around 2 p.m. New York time. For you that converts to 8 p.m. central European summer time. A second time, however, is circulating in the coverage: individual aggregators write 2 p.m. UTC, which is 4 p.m. central European time. The difference is four hours. If you still want to sell on the day itself, you are well advised to go by the earlier figure and be finished before 4 p.m. central European time. An order book that has already closed knows no leniency. As its reason Coinbase cites the regular review of listed assets against its own listing standards. The exchange has published no specific rationale for IOTX. That is the usual wording in decisions of this kind and allows no conclusion about any particular incident at the project. Trading Halt or Delisting: The Difference That Decides What Happens to Your Balance A trading halt means an exchange closes a trading pair while still allowing deposits and withdrawals of the coin. A delisting in the narrower sense removes the asset from the platform entirely, usually with its own deadline for the final withdrawal. On Coinbase's own account, IOTX is the first case. The exchange states that balances remain accessible and withdrawals remain possible. Your money is therefore not at risk; your ability to sell at this particular exchange is. How a full delisting plays out and how to spot the deadlines is something we set out in our explainer on delisting at a crypto exchange. In practice that means you have two routes after September 23.
