CoinEx Is Shutting Down: The Deadline to Withdraw Your Balance

Crypto exchange CoinEx is closing down. Anyone still holding a balance there has to withdraw it by December 22, 2026; after that the withdrawal channel shuts. The wind-down starts today, September 15, and the key interim date is September 29, because spot trading ends that day. From then on you can only withdraw a balance in whatever currency it already sits in. On the day of the first wind-down stage we measured what is still technically possible on the exchange. The headline finding: of 992 listed currencies, 37 could not be withdrawn at the time of measurement, deposits had already been switched off for 465, and there was no euro trading pair anywhere on the exchange. This analysis was carried out by cryptoticker.io on September 15, 2026. CoinEx is shutting down: the deadlines that apply from September 15 CoinEx has announced the closure as an orderly wind-down and attributes it to the prolonged market downturn, to falling trading volume and to supervisory and compliance costs the company describes as no longer sustainable. The exchange had been on the market for nine years. The wind-down runs in four stages, and each stage takes an option away from you: September 15, 2026: no new registrations, no referral rewards, and futures trading moves into reduce only mode. That means you can shrink or close existing positions but can no longer open new ones. September 22, 2026: all services outside the spot market are switched off. Anyone still running a leveraged position or an interest-bearing product has to unwind it before then. September 29, 2026: spot trading ends. From that day you can no longer swap a balance into another currency. The exchange says its in-house token CET will be bought back at 0.005 USDT per unit. December 22, 2026, 02:00 UTC: the withdrawal channel closes and operations end. Between September 29 and December 22 the platform is therefore a pure withdrawal counter for just under three months. That sounds like plenty of time, but it pulls the decisive work forward: whatever you have not swapped into a withdrawable currency during the last week of September will sit there in exactly that form until the end. The exchange publishes its notices in its public announcements section; CryptoBriefing and the Asian industry service PANews, among others, reported on the wind-down independently of one another. Why an orderly wind-down is different from an insolvency An orderly wind-down is a process in which a company ends its operations by its own decision and returns customer holdings according to plan. That sets it apart from an insolvency, where an administrator takes control and payouts stop immediately. CoinEx states that it holds a reserve ratio above 100 percent and can pay out all customer holdings in full.
