Coinbase says REP holders must self-migrate before Aug. 1, 2026 deadline

About 7.3 million of Augur’s 11 million REP tokens remain unmigrated as a 2026 fork tied to an Artemis II market dispute pushes users toward REPv2_Yes_1.

Summary

Coinbase has warned that it will not migrate Augur’s REP tokens for customers, leaving users to move holdings into a self-custody wallet and complete the swap to REPv2_Yes_1 themselves before Aug. 1, 2026. The notice comes with roughly two-thirds of supply still unmigrated: about 7.3 million tokens out of 11 million, while approximately 3.7 million, or 33.6%, had moved as of late July 2026. Augur, an Ethereum-based prediction market protocol, began the fork in early April 2026 after a dispute resolution mechanism test linked to a market question on the Artemis II launch. The migration window opened in June 2026 and runs to a deadline described as falling between Aug. 1 and Aug. 3 depending on the source, with Aug. 1 presented as the conservative cutoff. The Lituus Foundation has already migrated its holdings and added liquidity to REPv2_Yes_1. For holders, the practical implication is that legacy REP may become functionally obsolete if it is not swapped in time.
