Kraken delisting: withdraw 21 tokens by 10 December

Kraken is removing 21 tokens from its platform. According to Kraken's official notice on the August 2026 delistings, deposits and trading were already switched off on 11 September 2026. You can still withdraw until 10 December 2026 at 15:00 UTC, which is 16:00 in the Netherlands. Whatever is still in your account will be sold automatically between 14 and 18 December, sometimes for next to nothing. At the time of writing, on 14 November 2026, there are 26 days left.

The tokens are XTER, IR, GAIA, SCA, VANRY, BNC, SBR, RBC, MIR, JUNO, HDX, ACA, MULTI, RIZE, EPT, MAT, CQT, CXT, BKS, VULT and M. Below you can read what the dates mean, what you can still do and what is not certain yet.

The Kraken delisting of 10 December in short

• Who and what: Kraken is delisting 21 tokens: XTER, IR, GAIA, SCA, VANRY, BNC, SBR, RBC, MIR, JUNO, HDX, ACA, MULTI, RIZE, EPT, MAT, CQT, CXT, BKS, VULT and M.
• Trading and deposits: both stopped on 11 September 2026 at 14:00 UTC. You can no longer sell on Kraken or deposit these tokens.
• Withdrawals are still open: until 10 December 2026 at 15:00 UTC (16:00 Dutch time, 15:00 in Portugal, 16:00 in Poland).
• Automatic sale: whatever is still in your account will be liquidated between 14 and 18 December 2026.
• Risk: Kraken warns that the price may be ‘significantly below recent reference prices’ and that in some cases the proceeds may be minimal or nil.
• What to do: check whether you hold any of the 21 tokens on Kraken and move them off the platform before 10 December.

The dates at a glance

There are four days between the end of withdrawals (10 December) and the start of the sale (14 December). Kraken does not say you can still withdraw during those days. So treat 10 December at 15:00 UTC as a hard limit and start a few days early, so that you can still put right a failed withdrawal.

What are a delisting, a trading halt and an automatic sale?

A delisting means Kraken stops offering a token. It happens in three steps. First, deposits and trading stop, so you can no longer buy or sell the token or send it to Kraken. Then comes a period in which you can still withdraw. Finally, Kraken sells whatever is still in your account at that point. You then receive euros, dollars or some other amount back, depending on the market at the time of the sale.

The second step is the only one in which you still have a say. If you do nothing, you leave the decision to Kraken. According to the notice, the market at the time of the sale determines which currency you receive the proceeds in, and Kraken cannot guarantee or confirm this in advance.

What does waiting cost? The risk of the automatic sale

In its notice, Kraken writes that the price at the time of the sale may be ‘significantly below recent reference prices’. The reason is limited market liquidity: at that moment there are too few buyers for the amount that has to be sold. For some tokens this can mean the proceeds are ‘minimal or no proceeds’, as Kraken puts it.

A simple calculation shows how this works. Say you hold tokens worth 100 euros on Kraken, measured at the last known price. If Kraken sells them at a price half as high, you get 50 euros. The figure is an illustration of the mechanism; Kraken names no percentage and no expected proceeds.

Withdrawing can come with costs, for example a network fee. These are not in the notice. We have not looked them up for the 21 tokens, so check in your Kraken account what a withdrawal costs before you start, especially with a small balance.

Withdraw or let it be sold: what can you do?

You can no longer sell on Kraken, because trading has been switched off since 11 September. That leaves you two options.

1. Withdraw before 10 December. You send the token to your own wallet or to another provider that supports the token. First check that the receiving wallet or exchange accepts that token and that network, otherwise you will lose it. A test withdrawal with a small amount is sensible. How to choose a wallet is explained in our guide to choosing a crypto wallet.
2. Do nothing. Kraken will then sell the balance automatically between 14 and 18 December, at the price of that moment.

Which other exchanges still offer these tokens differs per token and can change quickly. We have not checked this for all 21. Look at the receiving platform itself to see whether the token is listed before you send anything.

What does this mean for you as a European investor?

First check whether you hold anything. Open your Kraken account and look through your balances to see whether any of the 21 tokens is there. If there is nothing, you do not need to do anything.

Time zones. The deadline is 10 December 2026 at 15:00 UTC. In the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Poland that is 16:00, in Portugal 15:00. If you are just too late on the last day, you can no longer withdraw.

Tax. An automatic sale may be a taxable event in your country, even though you made no decision yourself. How this works differs per country; an overview is in our article on crypto tax in Europe. If the balance is large, ask a tax adviser what applies to you.

Kraken in your country. If you want to know what else Kraken offers and what the drawbacks are, read our Kraken review. Kraken has delisted tokens in several rounds: you can read about the earlier delistings in our articles on Kraken delisting: withdraw tokens by 6 November, covering the three rounds with deadlines on 6 November, 10 December and 29 January, and on Kraken delisting: 13 tokens, withdraw by 29 January.

What is not certain yet

• Withdrawal fees. The notice names no fees per token. What a withdrawal costs you only becomes visible in your account.
• Proceeds of the sale. Kraken says these cannot be guaranteed and can differ greatly per token. No forecast can be given.
• Where you can still trade the tokens. We have not checked this for all 21 tokens.
• Time of the sale within 14 to 18 December. Kraken only names the period.
• What happens to tokens on other networks. A token can exist on several networks. The notice does not say per network what is supported; check in your account which network is offered when you withdraw.
