Summary
- CoinEx begins phased shutdown with final withdrawal deadline of December 22, 2026.
- Users must act before multiple cutoffs including end of new registrations on September 15, 2026.
- Exchange confirms full reserves and ongoing withdrawal support through closure.
CoinEx announced it will close after nine years. Users must withdraw all funds by December 22, 2026. Operations stop after that date.
The shutdown hits amid market pressure. Regulatory shifts add to the strain.
Context
CoinEx launched in 2017. It ran as a centralized exchange for spot and derivatives trading. Crypto winter hit liquidity hard across the sector. Bitcoin stayed well below prior highs.
Regulatory uncertainty grew too. The Clarity Act stalled before midterms. Platforms started questioning their future.
Details
The exchange posted its full plan on the official site. Withdrawal services stay open until December 22, 2026. New registrations ended on September 15, 2026. CoinEx reports reserves above 100 percent through the process.
"Withdrawal services will remain available from today to December 22, 2026. CoinEx maintains an asset reserve ratio of over 100%."

Some reports wonder if the closure is final. The notice confirms trading ends after the last withdrawal day. Users need to finish everything before then.
Outlook
Users should complete withdrawals of all assets from CoinEx before December 22, 2026. The platform will stop supporting operations after that date. Market participants will watch how remaining centralized exchanges respond to the same regulatory and liquidity conditions.
