What Does the "Sell Paused" Label Mean?

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


Good to know:

  • Only the sell side is affected. New sell orders are paused, but buying the coin and viewing your holdings both continue to work.
  • Buying stays open. You can still purchase the coin during a "Sell Paused" period if you choose to.
  • Portfolio access is unchanged. The coin stays visible and you can monitor its balance and value throughout the pause.
  • Common causes. Important news, a technical issue, or a regulatory requirement.
  • It's a restriction, not a valuation. The label doesn't cause a price change — it's a temporary limit on the sell action.
  • Versus "Trading Paused." "Sell Paused" stops sales only; "Trading Paused" stops both buying and selling.

Related questions:

Q: Can I still buy a coin labeled "Sell Paused"?
Yes. Only the sell side is affected, so buying the coin and viewing your holdings both continue as normal. Only new sell orders are temporarily unavailable.

Q: Why would a coin get the "Sell Paused" label?
Common causes are important news, 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 "Sell Paused" and "Trading Paused"?
"Sell Paused" stops only sales — you can still buy. "Trading Paused" stops both buying and selling. Both are temporary states, not removals.

Q: If a coin I hold gets "Sell Paused", will it lose value?
No. The label is a transaction restriction, not a statement about value. Your holding stays worth the market price, and your balance stays safe and visible. Selling returns once Pluang lifts the pause.

Q: How long does a "Sell Paused" label usually last?
There's no fixed duration — it depends on the underlying reason. Check the coin's detail view in the app for the current status. Selling resumes automatically once the reason is resolved.
