Common Q&A – Coinbase Halting Trading in Singapore

If I don’t withdraw my assets and have passed 15th May 2018, what will happen to my assets?

They are going to be just fine. It’s just they are stuck on Coinbase platform, unless you have any other means to convert back Bitcoin and other altcoins purchases to fiat currencies but not using Xfers.io account nor service.

You can go through the transfer route, transferring your assets from Coinbase to any trading platforms that open and operated in Singapore, such as CoinHako and then withdraw from there.

When Coinbase will resume trading in Singapore using SGD?

Until further notice and until Coinbase comply to MAS standard, the service will remain in halting condition.
