What Does the "Buy Paused" Label Mean?

The "Buy Paused" label on Pluang means buying activity for that specific coin is temporarily suspended, while selling and portfolio access keep working exactly as usual. Only one side of trading is affected: you can't place a new buy order for the coin right now, but you can still sell any holdings you already have and view the coin in your portfolio at any time. Common reasons include important news about the asset, an order-book imbalance, a technical issue, or a regulatory requirement. The pause is temporary by design; once Pluang lifts the restriction, buying resumes normally.

Good to know:

• Only the buy side is affected. New buy orders are paused, but selling and viewing the coin in your portfolio both continue to work.
• Selling stays open. If you already hold the coin, you can still sell it — the restriction never locks in your position.
• Portfolio access is unchanged. The coin stays visible and you can monitor its balance and value throughout the pause.
• Common causes. Important news, an order-book imbalance, a technical issue, or a regulatory requirement.
• It's temporary. Buying resumes once Pluang lifts the restriction after the underlying reason is resolved.
• Versus "Trading Paused." "Buy Paused" stops purchases only; "Trading Paused" stops both buying and selling.

Common causes are important news, an order-book imbalance, a technical issue, or a regulatory requirement. It's a temporary, protective measure. Check the coin's detail view for the current status.

Q: What's the difference between "Buy Paused" and "Trading Paused"?

There's no fixed duration — it depends on the underlying reason. Check the coin's detail view in the app for the current status. Buying resumes automatically once the reason is resolved.
