The first phase of the token merger initiated by the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) began on July 1, involving the integration of SingularityNET's AGIX and Ocean Protocol's OCEAN into Fetch.ai's FET token.
This $7.5 billion merger led to the widespread exclusion of the original tokens from all crypto exchanges.
Despite the merger, not all crypto exchanges supported it. In particular, Coinbase did not implement a mechanism to automatically convert user-owned tokens into the new ASI token.
Coinbase will continue to support trading for FET and OCEAN until further notice. Users who wish to transfer their holdings to ASI should use a self-custodial wallet such as Coinbase Wallet.
Ocean (OCEAN) and https://t.co/pOEE8X2oY0 (FET) have announced a merger to form the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI). Coinbase will not execute the migration of these assets on behalf of users.
