Coinbase Exchange Restores Trading Across All Markets

The platform said trading has resumed for every market, indicating the disruption affecting Coinbase Exchange activity has been resolved.

Fact Check
The claim is directly confirmed by Coinbase's own official support account on X (CoinbaseSupport status/2052656957811536058), which explicitly states 'All markets re-enabled for trading on Coinbase Exchange' on 2026-05-08. This is corroborated by two major independent crypto news outlets: The Block, which details the full recovery timeline including the staged return to trading (Cancel Only mode, auction mode, then full trading), and CoinDesk, which confirms the outage and its resolution. All three sources agree on the core facts: a disruption occurred linked to an AWS outage, and trading was subsequently fully restored across all markets.
