Key claims & sources

✓
Coinbase placed the WHUF-USD pair into limit-only mode.
✓

✓
An auction was scheduled to run for at least 10 minutes as WHUF’s transfer lock expired.
✓
Market orders for WHUF-USD remain unavailable.

What it means

People trying to trade WHUF-USD on Coinbase are the ones who notice this first, because the pair was put into limit-only mode and market orders remain unavailable. That means orders have to be entered as limits rather than as immediate market buys or sells while the pair is in this state.

Compared with a normal open market, the practical change is that trading starts under tighter order handling during the auction window and does not allow market orders. What stays the same is that the pair is still trading on Coinbase, just with the limit-only restriction in place.
