Bitfinex sets Aug. 31 deadline for withdrawals of 13 delisted tokens
After the cutoff, Bitfinex will disable standard withdrawals for the affected tokens and route any later retrieval attempts through a manual, fee-bearing process that is not guaranteed to complete.
Bitfinex has told customers holding 13 recently delisted cryptocurrencies to withdraw by 10 a.m. UTC on Aug. 31, or else standard withdrawals for those tokens will be disabled. After that deadline, Bitfinex said any subsequent retrieval attempts would be handled through a restricted, fee-bearing recovery process during a two-month window.
The tokens covered by the withdrawal mandate include Cosmos (ATOM), Bit2Me (B2M), Bitget Token (BGB), EigenLayer (EIGEN), Vaulta (A), GateToken (GT), Jupiter (JUP), Kava (KAVA), Lido (LDO), NEO, Nexo (NEXO), OMNI and Ultra (UOS). Bitfinex also said users must clear any NEOGAS balances, and noted some assets may appear under alternative interface or API codes on the platform.
Bitfinex warned the manual recovery is not guaranteed to succeed and will involve additional fees deducted from any recovered amount, with no fixed completion timeline. Separately, the exchange said Tether (USDT) on Cosmos and Unus Sed LEO on Vaulta are unaffected by the action.
For customers who want to transfer before the cutoff, Bitfinex said there is a $5-equivalent minimum, plus varying asset-specific network fees that could make moving smaller balances uneconomical. For remaining Japanese yen (JPY) and JPY-PERP balances, Bitfinex will automatically convert lingering JPY to USDT outside the public order book, deducting a 5% fee while keeping the conversion time and prevailing market rate undisclosed.
