Transferring Delisted Tokens: 16 of 21 Kraken Assets Have No Fallback Exchange

Anyone holding one of the 21 tokens that Kraken is removing from trading has until 27 August 2026, 14:00 UTC to withdraw them. After that the exchange closes withdrawals, and between 1 and 5 September it sells the remaining balances itself. The practical question is therefore not whether you have to act, but where you can send the tokens at all. We counted it up. The result: for 16 of the 21 tokens, none of the five European venues we checked listed a deposit option on 21 August 2026. Anyone who wants to keep those holdings cannot avoid a wallet of their own. What does Kraken's 27 August withdrawal deadline mean for you? Kraken announced the delisting cycle on 14 May 2026 and has worked through it in three stages since. On 29 May at 14:00 UTC the exchange switched off trading and deposits for the affected assets. Since then the tokens can only be withdrawn. That last door closes on 27 August at 14:00 UTC. According to the exchange, the assets affected are AURA, BIT, BOND, BSX, FARM, GARI, K, KET, KINTO, LOBO, MOON, MV, NYM, RAIIN, RHEA, SAROS, SDN, SPC, SPICE, TEA and TEER. The list comes from the exchange's own delisting notice, not from a third-party summary. For the period after that, Kraken announces an automatic disposal: between 1 and 5 September, remaining balances will be liquidated to complete the delisting. In the same notice the exchange states explicitly that several of these assets now have only limited or inactive markets, and that sale proceeds may therefore fall well below the reference prices last seen, in individual cases close to zero. That is not our forecast but the operator's own assessment. The timing of the sale is therefore no longer yours. Anyone who does nothing leaves it to an automated process to decide at what price and into which order book the sale happens. We described how that mechanism works in detail in our report on the Kraken delisting with forced liquidation. Delisting, forced liquidation and fallback exchange: the three terms explained Delisting means that a trading platform permanently removes a trading pair from its offering. The token itself continues to exist and nothing changes on the blockchain. Only this one venue no longer carries it. Forced liquidation means, in this context, that the exchange sells a balance still held with it after a deadline has passed, without any further instruction from the customer, and credits the proceeds. The term has nothing to do with the liquidation of a leveraged position, even though both carry the same word. Fallback exchange is what we call, in this analysis, any other venue that carries the same token and accepts deposits for it.
