Coinbase Derivatives pauses futures trading for up to nine hours of maintenance

The scheduled outage hit futures and perpetual futures as Coinbase joined an industry-wide disaster recovery test Coinbase Derivatives switched off futures and perpetual futures trading for a scheduled maintenance window expected to last up to nine hours. The pause began at 5:00 AM CT on October 24, 2026. It was slated to wrap up around 2:00 PM CT. The outage covered futures and perpetual futures products on Coinbase Financial Markets, the regulated entity behind Coinbase’s derivatives offering. Traders were not locked out entirely. Account logins and balances stayed accessible throughout the window. What they could not do was act. New trades were off the table, and so were changes to existing orders. Coinbase pointed users to its status page for updates during the pause. This was not routine overnight housekeeping.
