— CoinEx announces official closure of operations, with a deadline that could be costly for anyone leaving a forgotten balance there.

The exchange confirmed today (15/09) the end of its activities. The official reason, according to CoinEx’s own announcement, is a prolonged market downturn, declining trading volume and liquidity, and increased regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions.

See the closure schedule:

Today (15/09): closes new account registrations. Futures contracts only close positions—no new positions will be opened.

22/09: closes everything that is not spot trading. On-chain deposits are also closed (exception: CET, until 29/09).

29/09: closes spot trading. Any balance in assets other than USDT will be automatically converted to USDT.

22/12, at 02:00 UTC: closes the withdrawal window. This is the most important deadline—after it, anyone who forgets funds there will pay 5% per month on the stored value.

CoinEx states that users’ funds are 100% safe, backed by reserves above 100% of what’s necessary. This is not a default—it’s an orderly exit—but only for those who act within the deadline.

Be careful not to confuse the names: CoinEx (international, the one in this announcement) is different from Coinext, a Brazilian exchange with a similar-sounding name—an entirely separate company that is also winding down operations during the same period.

If you have a balance sitting idle on CoinEx, the message is clear: don’t wait until the last moment. Withdrawing calmly now is far more valuable than withdrawing under deadline pressure—or worse, while already paying fees.
