Coinbase to Delist Six Altcoin Trading Pairs to Improve Market Health

Coinbase, a leading U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, has announced the delisting of six popular altcoin trading pairs effective October 29, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. ET. The affected pairs are MASK-USDT, MASK-EUR, MINA-USDT, GMT-USDT, AXS-BTC, and SNX-BTC.

In a post on X, Coinbase Markets stated that this decision is part of an effort to improve overall market health and consolidate liquidity. The exchange will suspend trading on these pairs at the specified time, after which users cannot place new trades in them.

Notably, the underlying assets—MASK, MINA, GMT, AXS, and SNX—will remain tradable, but only in pairs not delisted, such as USD-based markets like MASK/USD and MINA/USD. Users on Coinbase Advanced and in select eligible regions can still access these tokens through these alternative pairs.

Additionally, the AXS-BTC pair has been moved to limit-only mode, allowing only limit orders and cancellations, with instant buying and selling disabled. This indicates a potential full suspension in the future.

Market observers are monitoring the impact, recalling that when Coinbase delisted the OMNI-Perp pair, it caused a 17% price crash for the OMNI token. However, the continued availability on Coinbase Advanced may soften the effects this time.

In a broader context, Coinbase recently added support for the BNB/USD pair, a significant development as BNB is Binance's native token, with Binance founder Changpeng Zhao praising the move. BNB has maintained a price above $1,000 amid market volatility.
