Coinbase to Launch Irys Spot Trading Pending Liquidity Conditions

Coinbase to Launch Irys Spot Trading Pending Liquidity Conditions

Coinbase has officially enabled IRYS spot trading on its platform, allowing users to buy, sell, exchange, send, receive, and store the token globally where supported.

Fact Check
The assessment is based on strong, consistent evidence from multiple highly relevant sources. Three sources with high authority and relevance (CoinGecko, KuCoin, and Phemex) all confirm that Coinbase announced the launch of Irys (IRYS) spot trading. Crucially, the KuCoin news source, which has the highest relevance score (1.00), explicitly states that the launch is 'subject to liquidity' conditions. This directly supports the entire statement. While the other two high-relevance sources (CoinGecko and Phemex) confirm the listing, they do not mention the liquidity condition. However, this omission is not a contradiction; it's a common variation in news reporting detail. The lower-relevance sources do not provide any useful information on this specific topic and do not contradict the primary findings. The consistency across the most relevant sources, with one providing direct confirmation of the specific condition, makes the statement highly likely to be true.
Summary

Coinbase confirmed that Irys (IRYS) spot trading is now live on coinbase.com and the Coinbase app. Users can buy, sell, exchange, send, receive, and store IRYS tokens, marking the asset’s full integration on the exchange. This follows the initial November 25 listing announcement, when trading was contingent on liquidity and regional conditions.
