What happened with Coinbase withdrawals for AVAX?

According to the status page linked above, Coinbase identified an incident affecting delayed sends and receives for Avalanche (AVAX) on 2026-09-22. The notice does not list a specific hour, so this article only cites the date, as published. Coinbase's status page is the only source for details of this specific incident; no other outlet has confirmed extra details, so nothing beyond what's posted there should be treated as fact.

This is separate from Coinbase's general trading fees or account rules. Coinbase's standard maker/taker fee structure is tiered by 30-day trading volume, ranging roughly from 0% to 0.4% maker and 0.05% to 0.6% taker^††. Those fee tiers are unrelated to this specific AVAX delay and have not changed as part of this incident, based on available data.

What does this mean for users in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia?

The status page does not mention any country-specific restrictions tied to this incident, so treat any regional impact as no country-specific impact found unless Coinbase updates the incident page to say otherwise.

• US: Coinbase is headquartered in the US^† and operates under US oversight, including registrations tied to the SEC and FINRA^†. No US-specific note was published for this incident.
• UK: No UK-specific note was published on the status page for this incident.
• CA: No Canada-specific note was published on the status page for this incident.
• AU: No Australia-specific note was published on the status page for this incident.

If you are outside the US and want to confirm whether local rules affect how Coinbase handles this incident in your region, check Coinbase's own help center for your country, since our Knowledge Graph does not carry country-by-country legal detail for this event.

What should you check right now?

Use this checklist before you assume anything is wrong with your own account:

1. Check the status page directly — reload status.coinbase.com/incidents/p5vynslkgbjd for the latest update timestamp.
2. Confirm which asset is affected — this incident is specific to Avalanche (AVAX) sends/receives, not all coins.
3. Look at your transaction history — see if an AVAX send or receive is stuck in "pending" rather than failed.
4. Avoid retrying the same withdrawal repeatedly — resubmitting a stuck transaction can create confusion when the network catches up.
5. Check your account's Limits page — Coinbase withdrawal limit amounts vary by account and verification level; specific limit figures are not verified in our Knowledge Graph, so check your own account settings rather than relying on a general number.
6. Keep an eye on identity verification prompts — Coinbase requires identity verification (KYC) on accounts^†, and part of that process can include a one-time verification code sent by text or email. If you see a "coinbase withdrawal code text" prompt, only enter it inside the official Coinbase app or site.
7. Contact support if funds don't appear after the incident is resolved — Coinbase lists email, ticket, and help center channels with 24/7 support^†.

Coinbase fees and account basics at a glance

Coinbase withdrawal time for a specific transaction (how many minutes or hours a normal, non-incident transfer usually takes) is not verified in our Knowledge Graph, so avoid relying on a fixed number — network congestion and verification checks can both add delay outside of an incident like this one. You can estimate trading costs separately using the fee calculator.

Common mistakes to avoid during a Coinbase outage

• Assuming your funds are lost. A delayed send/receive notice is not the same as a lost transaction; check the status page and your transaction history before assuming the worst.
• Sending the same withdrawal twice. This can create duplicate pending transactions and make support harder to sort out.
• Ignoring the specific asset affected. This incident is about AVAX sends/receives — don't assume every coin or every account feature is affected.
• Sharing a verification code with anyone. No legitimate Coinbase process asks you to read a text-message code to another person or website.
• Treating outage news as investment advice. An outage says nothing about whether to buy, sell, or hold any asset — this article does not make that recommendation.
