Coinbase schedules May 23 upgrade

Coinbase said it has scheduled a system upgrade for Saturday, May 23, that is expected to last about 30 minutes. The notice applies to both Coinbase Exchange and Coinbase International Exchange, according to the company’s status page. Coinbase said trading is not expected to be affected during the work. The company warned, however, that order status updates across all markets may be delayed while the upgrade is underway. ### When is the Coinbase upgrade supposed to happen? Coinbase said the maintenance is scheduled for May 23, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. PDT, which is around 3:00 p.m. ET. The company posted the notice on May 18 at 14:30 PDT on its public status page. The status notice names Coinbase Exchange and Coinbase International Exchange specifically. (status.coinbase.com) Coinbase said it will provide updates on the same page as the maintenance progresses. ### What exactly did Coinbase say might be affected? Coinbase said trading “will not be impacted,” but warned that order status updates across all markets may be delayed. (status.coinbase.com) That means customers could see slower-than-usual updates on whether an order has been processed or filled, even if trading remains live. Third-party reports describing the notice said the expected disruption is limited to service delays tied to order updates and status notifications, rather than a broader trading halt. (status.coinbase.com) Those reports matched the language on Coinbase’s status page. ### Does this mean Coinbase is going offline? (status.coinbase.com) Coinbase’s notice does not describe the May 23 event as a shutdown. The company framed it as a scheduled system upgrade and said trading is expected to continue during the maintenance window. The distinction in Coinbase’s notice is between execution and visibility: markets are expected to stay open, while order-status information may lag temporarily. (en.cryptonomist.ch) Coinbase did not say in the status post that customer funds, deposits or withdrawals would be interrupted. ### Why are order-status delays a concern for active traders? (status.coinbase.com) A delayed order-status update can matter when traders are trying to confirm whether an order has filled, partially filled or remains open. Coinbase’s notice did not warn of interrupted trading, but it did flag the possibility that feedback on orders could arrive later than usual during the maintenance window. (status.coinbase.com) For customers using Coinbase Exchange or Coinbase International Exchange on May 23, the company’s guidance points to a short operational window rather than a prolonged outage. The posted estimate is approximately 30 minutes. ### Where should users watch for updates on Saturday? Coinbase said it will post updates on its status page as the maintenance progresses. (status.coinbase.com) The scheduled maintenance entry is already listed there under “Scheduled System Upgrade — May 23.” May 23 is the next concrete milestone in the notice. Coinbase’s status page says the maintenance is expected to begin around 3 p.m. (status.coinbase.com) ET and last until about 3:30 p.m. ET, with any progress updates posted there during the work.
