Coinbase Suspends MOVE Token Trading Amid Regulatory Investigation
01.05.2025 18:46
Coinbase announced that it will suspend trading of Movement Labs’ native MOVE token, effective May 15, following the token's failure to meet the exchange's listing standards. The decision, communicated on May 1 via a post on X, comes as part of an ongoing investigation into Movement Labs over an agreement that is alleged to have influenced MOVE's price. In response to the development, Coinbase has moved its MOVE order books to limit-only mode on its various platforms, restricting trades to limit orders that can be placed and canceled, although matches may still occur. CoinMarketCap data indicates that the MOVE token slipped by 13.6% in the past 24 hours, reflecting investor concerns over the token's viability and regulatory scrutiny.
The news is expected to negatively impact MOVE's price in the short term due to decreased liquidity and increased uncertainty among investors. The suspension limits trading options, potentially triggering further sell-offs as traders avoid holding assets under regulatory scrutiny. Historical trends show that such trading halts often contribute to a decline as uncertainty temporarily depresses market sentiment until further clarity is provided.
