What happens to a person’s coins if the cryptocurrency exchange they use stops trading?
If a cryptocurrency exchange you use stops trading or goes out of business, the fate of your coins will depend on a few factors:
-
Self-custody wallets: If you have withdrawn your cryptocurrencies from the exchange and stored them in a self-custody wallet, you will still have full control over your coins. In this case, the exchange's closure will not directly affect your holdings.
-
Bankruptcy proceedings: If the exchange becomes goes bankrupt, there may be legal proceedings to distribute the remaining assets, including users' cryptocurrency holdings.
-
Exchange recovery or acquisition: Sometimes, another exchange may acquire or take over the operations of the defunct exchange.
-
Regulatory protections: In some jurisdictions, regulations may be in place to protect users' assets in the event of an exchange closure or insolvency.
