CoinEx Has Closed: How to Withdraw Your Remaining Balance Before December 22, 2026

CoinEx ended spot trading at 02:00 UTC on September 29, 2026, and withdrawal services are scheduled to stay open until 02:00 UTC on December 22, 2026 (2026-12-22). If you left a balance on the exchange, that is the only deadline still ahead of you: sign in through CoinEx's official app or website, check every place a balance can sit, and withdraw anything you intend to keep.

Go straight to the withdrawal checklist

Where your remaining CoinEx balance could be

CoinEx worked through the accounts that still held assets after spot trading stopped, and it did so in batches. What you see now depends on what you held, so check each of these in turn:

1. USDT in your spot wallet. USDT is the currency this wind-down settles into. Where a non-USDT asset had a market outside CoinEx, CoinEx's stated terms were to sell it and credit the net proceeds to the holder's spot account as USDT (CryptoTicker, "CoinEx forced conversion to USDT", September 27, 2026).
2. Other coins still listed in spot. An asset with no external market was to be delisted rather than sold; CryptoTicker's account of CoinEx's terms says those assets carry no further custody or redemption (same report, September 27, 2026). Open each asset on your asset list and check whether a withdrawal network is still shown for it.
3. Balances that never sat in spot. Earn, staking, margin, futures and strategy were among the services that stopped on September 22, 2026 (Outlook Money, September 19, 2026; CryptoTicker, September 27, 2026). If you held a balance in one of them, check where it stands now: open the product views your account still shows and reconcile them against the transaction history for that asset, rather than assuming the balance is either intact or gone.
4. Orders and deposits with an unclear ending. If you placed an order around the point when trading stopped, or sent a deposit around one of the cut-off times, check the record rather than your memory: your order history shows how each order ended, and the deposit page shows what was credited for each network. A mismatch between what you sent and what the record shows is what a support request should open with.
5. Your own record. Export or screenshot the transaction history for each asset. That record, not a balance you remember, is what a support request is built on.

What CoinEx changed, and when

CoinEx announced the cessation of its exchange platform in a notice dated September 14, 2026 (CoinEx, "Important Notice on CoinEx's Orderly Cessation of Operations"). Services were shut down in stages, and every stage except the last one is already in the past.

CoinEx's notice page could not be read — it loads as an empty shell with no readable text — so the dates and terms in this timeline come from two independent reports that quote it: CryptoTicker (September 27, 2026) and Outlook Money (September 19, 2026). No later notice from CoinEx was found as of September 30, 2026, and a missing notice is not proof that none exists.

What CoinEx said it would do with non-USDT assets

At the September 29 processing point, non-USDT assets that had not been withdrawn in their original form were to be handled in batches. Where external liquidity existed, CoinEx said it would sell the asset and convert the net proceeds into USDT credited to the user's spot account. Where no external liquidity existed, the asset was to be delisted, and CryptoTicker's account of those terms adds that there is no further custody or redemption for it (CryptoTicker, September 27, 2026; Outlook Money, September 19, 2026).

Neither report says that every batch has finished, and neither sets an outcome for a particular coin or account. The cut-off for withdrawing an asset in its original form was 02:00 UTC on September 29, 2026, and it has passed; what you can still act on is the balance your account shows today, in whatever form it now takes.

How to withdraw before December 22, 2026

1. Sign in to CoinEx only through the official website or app, reached from a bookmark you made yourself or the official app, never from a link in a message.
2. Open the withdrawal screen and read the full list of assets with a non-zero balance, including any USDT credited after September 29, 2026.
3. For each asset, check the destination network shown on the withdrawal screen. The same coin can be offered on several networks, and the network you pick must be the one the receiving wallet or service supports.
4. Enter the destination address and check it before confirming, along with any memo or tag the receiving service requires. A wrong network or a missing memo can put the funds beyond your control.
5. Read the minimum amount and the fee shown for that asset. A minimum above your balance makes the asset impossible to withdraw, and the fee is taken out of the amount sent.
6. Complete the security checks CoinEx requires — two-factor code, email code, or both — and submit the withdrawal.
7. Save the transaction ID and a screenshot of the confirmation, then start on the next asset rather than waiting to see the first one arrive.
8. Leave days, not hours. Network congestion, changing fees and longer confirmation times can all push a transaction past 02:00 UTC on December 22, 2026.

Messages that borrow this wind-down

A widely reported exchange closure is a natural hook for phishing. Treat any unexpected email, SMS or social-media message about your CoinEx balance as hostile: do not open its links, do not enter your password, one-time code, recovery phrase or private key, and do not send funds anywhere to unlock or compensate an account. No exchange, or anyone acting for one, asks for your recovery phrase. Open CoinEx's own site from a bookmark you made yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still withdraw from CoinEx?

Yes, on CoinEx's announced schedule: withdrawal services are due to run until 02:00 UTC on December 22, 2026 (CryptoTicker, September 27, 2026; Outlook Money, September 19, 2026). Start well before that date; a withdrawal submitted on the final day may not confirm in time.

Why does my balance show USDT instead of the coin I held?

Where a non-USDT asset had external liquidity, CoinEx's stated terms were to sell it and credit the net proceeds to the holder's spot account as USDT (CryptoTicker, "CoinEx forced conversion to USDT", September 27, 2026). If your history shows such a credit, USDT is the balance you can still withdraw.

What happened to the coins that were delisted?

CoinEx's terms, as reported, were to delist assets that had no external market rather than sell them, with no further custody or redemption (CryptoTicker, September 27, 2026). Check the asset inside your own account for the status it shows today.

Where can I read CoinEx's own notice?

Use the notice linked on this page (CoinEx, September 14, 2026) and CoinEx's own support channels. The two reports cited earlier on this page present it as the final cessation notice, so check any date against the notice itself before the deadline.
