Coinbase Suspending Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) Trading as cbBTC Surges
The largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, Coinbase, has announced that it is suspending the trading of wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) as its own cbBTC offering continues to rise in value. In a post to X (formerly Twitter), the exchange announced that the suspension comes as part of a compliance review for the cryptocurrency. The exchange notes that the asset will be suspended on December 19th, around 12pm ET. The move is a regular monitoring practice, as the firm looks to affirm all listed tokens “meet our listing standards.” Moreover, the rise of Coinbase’s own wrapped Bitcoin option has undoubtedly played a part in the decision. We regularly monitor the assets on our exchange to ensure they meet our listing standards.
