Blast network to shut down as Coinbase suspends BLAST token trading
Coinbase will stop BLAST trading on Oct. 20, and customers must move assets off Coinbase by Oct. 26 before using the Blast bridge on Ethereum. Blast’s network shutdown was scheduled by the project team, and Coinbase warned that BLAST left on the exchange after Oct. 26, 2026 would not be accessible once the network is shut down.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
Blast users and Coinbase customers are the people who will notice this first. Trading on Coinbase is set to stop on Oct. 20, and anyone holding BLAST on the exchange was told to withdraw by Oct. 26 before using the Blast bridge on Ethereum.
What remains open is the timing and effect of the shutdown beyond the dates already posted. The notices do not say what happens to activity on the network after the shutdown or whether any further instructions will be issued, only that additional updates will come as needed.
Market reaction
We track BLAST, but we only have 0 price points in that window. The series is stored every half hour, so newer events will have it. Computing it from two points would not be a reaction, it would be a coincidence.
How the story was built
Every piece in order, with the time its news medium declares — if it is not believable we use ours and say so — and what it added to what was already known at that point. Arriving first is not the same as adding something.
