KuCoin delisting: withdraw 23 tokens by 7 December

KuCoin stopped trading in 23 tokens on 5 November 2026 at 08:00 UTC. You can still withdraw them until 7 December 2026 at 08:00 UTC. That is what the announcement ‘KuCoin Will Delist Multiple Tokens on 2026-11-05’ of 2 November 2026 says. What happens to your balance after 7 December has not been fixed: KuCoin writes that it “may” convert the tokens into stablecoins, with no guarantee. Selling on KuCoin has not been possible since 5 November; withdrawing is all that is left.

KuCoin delisting in short

• Who and what: KuCoin is delisting 23 tokens (list below) under its own ‘Special Treatment Rules’. The announcement gives no reason per token.
• Deposits: closed since 3 November 2026 at 08:00 UTC.
• Trading: the spot pairs and the trading bots (Spot Grid, DCA and others) stopped on 5 November 2026, the bots at 06:00 UTC and the spot pairs at 08:00 UTC. Open orders disappear.
• Withdrawals: possible until 7 December 2026 at 08:00 UTC. That is 32 days after trading ended.
• The caveat: KuCoin may close withdrawals earlier if there is a problem with the project, for example if blocks or transfers on the chain stop.
• Afterwards: whatever is still in your account, KuCoin may convert into stablecoins for you. That is not guaranteed, and the value may fall “sharply” or drop to zero, KuCoin writes.
• The downside: trading stopped three days after the announcement (2 to 5 November). If you did not look straight away, you could no longer sell.

Which 23 tokens are affected?

The list comes from the announcement itself. Note: the KuCoin news page that summarises the announcement says “22 tokens” in its headline, but the official announcement lists 23.

Three of these tickers are also on Kraken’s lists: GAIA and XTER in the August round (withdrawals until 10 December 2026 at 15:00 UTC, according to Kraken’s notice of 19 October 2026) and U2U in the July round, which we covered in Kraken delisting: withdraw tokens by 6 November. An identical ticker does not prove that it is the same project; check that in your own account.

Which dates apply?

All times come from KuCoin’s announcement and are in UTC. Since 25 October 2026, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain and Poland have been on winter time (UTC+1), and Portugal on UTC+0. The table converts them.

From 3 November to 7 December is 34 days; from the end of trading (5 November) to the end of withdrawals (7 December) it is 32 days. Waiting until the last day is not advisable: the announcement itself says you should withdraw “at your earliest convenience”, and withdrawals may close earlier.

What can you still do now?

1. Check your balance. Look for the 23 tickers under your assets in KuCoin. If none are there, you do not need to do anything.
2. Check the chain. Withdraw to a wallet that supports that token and that chain. The wrong chain, or an address without support, can cost you the amount. Test with a small amount first.
3. Mind the fees. The announcement mentions no withdrawal fees or minimum amounts. These are shown in your account when you withdraw and differ per token.
4. Do not wait for the last day. Withdrawals may close earlier if a project stops, and according to the announcement KuCoin is then not liable “to the extent permitted by applicable law”.
5. Keep proof. Take a screenshot of your balance and of the withdrawal, in case you need to show something later.

What does this mean for you as a European investor?

Do you use KuCoin Global or KuCoin EU? The announcement is on kucoin.com and does not say whether KuCoin EU follows the same list. In ESMA’s MiCA register, in our copy of 5 November 2026, KuCoin EU Exchange GmbH appears with an authorisation from the Austrian supervisor FMA since 27 November 2025, with a passport for, among others, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal and Poland. Whether the delisting also applies to that account, you can see in your own account and from KuCoin. You can find the register on our page with MiCA authorisations.

The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal and Poland. The dates are the same everywhere; only the local clock differs (see the table). What a withdrawal or a conversion means for tax differs per country and is not in the announcement. See crypto tax in Europe.

Trading bots. If you had a trading bot (Spot Grid, DCA) running with one of these tokens, it stopped on 5 November. Check what is in your account now that it has stopped.

What is not certain yet

• Whether KuCoin EU follows the same list. The announcement does not say.
• What the conversion will yield. KuCoin only says that it may convert and does not guarantee anything. There is no conversion date, rate or method.
• The number of tokens. The news page says 22, the official announcement lists 23 projects. We follow the list.
• The reasons. The announcement refers to the ‘Special Treatment Rules’ without explaining per token why.
• Whether withdrawals will close earlier. KuCoin keeps that open if a project stops technically.
