Important update for US users: Trading soon halted for AXS, CHZ, MANA, MATIC, NEAR, SAND and SOL

At Bitstamp, we have a comprehensive framework in place to continuously evaluate the cryptocurrencies we provide, taking into account the dynamic regulatory environment. Considering recent developments, we are making some changes to our crypto offerings—specifically for our customers residing in the United States.

Starting from August 29, 2023, we are suspending trading for the following cryptocurrencies in the US: AXS, CHZ, MANA, MATIC, NEAR, SAND and SOL.

This means that as of August 29, 2023, new orders involving these assets will be disabled, and all existing orders across all these trading pairs will be cancelled. However, we want to emphasize that you will still be able to hold these assets within your Bitstamp account and withdraw them at any time.

To ensure a smooth transition during the trade halt, we kindly request our users to promptly execute any desired buy or sell orders involving the affected assets before August 29, 2023. After this deadline, trading activities related to AXS, CHZ, MANA, MATIC, NEAR, SAND, and SOL will be paused until further notice on the Bitstamp platform.

We thank you for your understanding in this matter and we understand that you may have questions or concerns. Our live customer support team is ready to assist you so feel free to contact us at support@bitstamp.net or refer to the FAQ on halted cryptocurrencies on our website for more information.

At Bitstamp, we remain committed to providing a comprehensive range of trading options. Despite this halt, we continue to offer up to 30 available cryptocurrencies to trade.
