Coinbase to Go Offline for 24 Hours, Here’s What That Means for You (Spoiler: Not Much)

by

In a move that has the crypto world buzzing-mostly because it involves taking a break-Coinbase has informed its users that it will be going offline for an entire 24 hours. Yes, you heard that right. The platform, which has been the digital equivalent of a crowded subway during rush hour, will be taking a little nap starting on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at exactly 7:00 a.m. PT. The reason? A “systems upgrade”-because who doesn’t need a little tweaking now and then?

Now, before you start panicking and hoarding your digital coins like they’re the last packets of ramen on Earth, Coinbase assures us that this is all part of the plan. They’re being very mysterious about how long the upgrade will take, but they’re estimating it might only last for a few hours. So, don’t worry, you won’t miss out on any crypto drama for long. As an extra bonus, they’ll keep you updated with reminders and the latest gossip on their official status page. 🧐

Coinbase Exchange will be temporarily offline due to a scheduled systems upgrade Saturday, October 25, 2025 on or about 7AM PT.

In case you were hoping to do some trading during this intermission, Coinbase has also announced some new arrivals and departures on the platform. The shiny new stars are BNB (BNB) and Keeta (KTA), which are now available for you to buy, sell, convert, send, receive, or store-basically everything except turning them into gold, unfortunately. On the flip side, they’ve decided to part ways with WELL-PERP and FAI-PERP, with trading for these now officially suspended. Oh, and just in case you were holding your breath, you can now trade SUI futures as well.

Coinbase News (for the “In Case You Missed It” Crowd)

In more exciting news, Coinbase has just hit a stablecoin milestone: its supply has rocketed to a whopping $300 billion-and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. Payments and remittances are ramping up, proving that the stablecoin party is far from over. In fact, Coinbase is so confident in this trend that they’ve predicted stablecoin supply will soar to an astronomical $1.2 trillion by 2028. Because, who doesn’t love a good prediction? 📈

Oh, and in case you were wondering how you could use crypto to fund your retirement plans, Coinbase Asset Management (CBAM) has partnered with iTrustCapital, the largest U.S. self-directed digital asset IRA technology provider. This groundbreaking partnership means accredited investors in CBAM-managed funds can now hold their investments in tax-deferred IRA accounts. Who knew retirement planning could be so… futuristic? 🕶️
