The decision, announced via Coinbase’s official X account, affects multiple trading platforms, including Coinbase.com, Coinbase Exchange, and Coinbase Prime. However, trading will continue for users in supported regions.

The platform has shifted SNX order books to limit-only mode, allowing users to place and cancel limit orders. Matches may still occur, but no new market orders will be processed.

“We regularly monitor the assets on our exchange to ensure they meet our listing standards.” This suggests ongoing assessments and adjustments to maintain regulatory compliance and platform integrity.

The SNX/USDT 1-day price chart shows a downtrend channel since April 2024, with the price hitting a recent low near the $1.76 mark. The relative strength index (RSI) is currently at 32.54, suggesting that SNX might be in an oversold territory.
