Coinbase Scrambles to Fix Delayed APT and EGLD Transfers

• Coinbase’s official status page logged two separate incidents on October 10, 2026: delayed sends and receives for MultiversX (EGLD) and delayed sends for Aptos (APT)
• Both incidents were opened and fully resolved the same day, with the APT issue moving from investigating to resolved in under an hour
• Coinbase’s status page showed no new incidents logged for either October 11 or October 12, 2026, suggesting the fixes held through the rest of the holiday weekend

Coinbase’s public status page recorded two short-lived technical incidents on October 10, 2026, both involving delayed processing of deposits and withdrawals for specific tokens rather than any platform-wide outage. The first incident, logged as “Delayed Sends and Receives – EGLD (MultiversX),” affected users trying to move the MultiversX network’s native token onto or off the exchange, while the second, “Delayed Sends – APT,” affected outgoing transfers of Aptos tokens.

According to the timestamps on Coinbase’s status page, the Aptos incident moved quickly through its lifecycle: engineers marked the issue as under investigation at 16:24 Pacific time, updated it to monitoring once a fix was in place, and marked it fully resolved by 17:10 Pacific time, a turnaround of under an hour from first acknowledgment to resolution. The MultiversX incident followed a similar pattern, reaching resolved and monitoring status by 17:19 Pacific time the same day.

Coinbase’s status page did not disclose the technical root cause behind either delay, following the exchange’s usual practice of providing only high-level incident descriptions and timestamps rather than detailed post-mortems for issues of this scale. Delayed sends and receives of this kind typically stem from problems on the exchange’s own infrastructure for interfacing with a specific blockchain’s nodes, such as a node falling out of sync or a batching process backing up, rather than from any issue with the underlying Aptos or MultiversX networks themselves, since no corresponding network-wide disruption was reported by either project around the same time.

Both EGLD and APT are relatively newer Layer 1 blockchains that Coinbase supports alongside its larger, more established listings. MultiversX, formerly known as Elrond, positions itself around high transaction throughput using a sharding architecture, while Aptos uses the Move programming language, originally developed at Meta, to focus on parallel transaction execution and safety guarantees for smart contracts. Delayed processing for either asset would have meant users attempting withdrawals or deposits during the affected windows experienced longer-than-normal confirmation times rather than lost funds, consistent with how Coinbase has historically described similar delayed-send incidents in the past.

No further incidents involving either token, or any other asset, appeared on Coinbase’s official status page for October 11 or October 12, 2026, suggesting whatever triggered the Saturday delays was resolved cleanly and did not recur during the remainder of the holiday weekend. The episode is a reminder that even brief, narrowly scoped technical hiccups on major exchanges get logged publicly in real time, giving users visibility into exactly which assets and functions are affected rather than leaving them to guess whether a slow transfer reflects a platform-wide problem or an isolated, already-being-fixed issue.
