- Coinbase announced Wednesday via a tweet it had decided to further delay the launch on Coinbase Pro until 6 p.m. PT (1:00 UTC) on May 3.
- It marks the second time in two days the company has decided to postpone USDT trading after announcing on Tuesday it intended to resume trading later that evening.
- While transfers remain available, the U.S. cryptocurrency trading platform said it was working to ensure it had resolved the issue on its core API's and exchange.
- "We are continuing to deploy services on the back end to scale and bolster the exchange and want to take this time to make the exchange more robust," said the exchange via a separate tweet.
- Coinbase decided to list USDT on April 23, much to the surprise of the crypto community, which at times has questioned whether the stablecoin is fully backed by U.S. dollars.
- Earlier in the month, Coinbase went public on the Nasdaq exchange through a direct listing under the ticker $COIN.

What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
