Coinbase to Delist Several Cryptocurrencies in Mid-August 2025

Coinbase is set to delist several cryptocurrencies in mid-August 2025, according to the exchange’s latest announcement. The decision is part of the platform’s regular asset review process, which ensures that listed digital assets continue to meet Coinbase’s operational and compliance standards [1]. Affected tokens will no longer be available for trading on Coinbase Simple, Coinbase Exchange, and Coinbase Prime, with trading now limited to managing existing open orders but no new market transactions [2]. The delisting follows reports of a paused FX smart contract and ongoing token migration efforts as central reasons for the removal.

Alongside the delisting, Coinbase has been actively expanding its product offerings by adding new tokens, including Bio Protocol (BIO), BankrCoin (BNKR), and Treehouse (TREE). These can now be traded, stored, and converted via the exchange’s platforms, indicating the company’s strategy of balancing selective delistings with new additions to maintain a dynamic and compliant product lineup [3].

This move coincides with broader strategic growth for Coinbase, including a partnership with JPMorgan Chase to enable direct account linking, credit card payments, and reward redemptions for crypto purchases [4]. Additionally, the platform is introducing Samsung Pay in the U.S. and Canada, expanding its payment infrastructure and reinforcing its integration into mainstream finance.

The delisting follows similar actions across traditional and digital asset markets. IG Japan has announced a phased delisting of U.S. equities starting in mid-August, while Nasdaq has extended compliance deadlines for companies like Captivision, signaling increased scrutiny and regulatory alignment across sectors [5]. Analysts suggest that Coinbase’s decision may be influenced by regulatory pressure, market relevance, or declining trading volumes—common reasons for delistings in the crypto space [6].

As the delisting approaches, traders are advised to monitor their positions and adjust accordingly. The continued evolution of listing and delisting practices reflects the maturation of the digital asset market, where regulatory compliance and operational efficiency play an increasingly central role [7]. Coinbase’s actions underscore the importance of maintaining high listing standards, particularly as traditional financial institutions continue to integrate crypto into their ecosystems.
