What is a token delisting and how does it affect Bit2Me users?

In the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies, innovation is constant, but so is the need for adaptation and optimization. Token delistings are an inherent part of this evolving ecosystem. At Bit2Me, the decision to delist a token is never arbitrary; it responds to a firm commitment to security, stability, and regulatory compliance to offer the best experience to our users.

Why does an exchange delist tokens? The main reasons

There are several reasons why an exchange like Bit2Me may decide to delist a token. These decisions are based on rigorous criteria to safeguard the interests of the community and the integrity of the platform:

• Low liquidity and trading volume: One of the most common reasons. If a token records a very low trading volume or insufficient liquidity, its maintenance on the platform ceases to be efficient. This can make transactions difficult for users, and at Bit2Me, we prioritize a fluid and efficient trading experience for everyone.
• Lack of development or project support: The crypto sector is advancing by leaps and bounds. If an underlying project stops innovating, does not update its roadmap, or abandons support for its community, the associated token can lose value and utility. Bit2Me is committed to active projects with a clear vision and a promising future.
• Regulatory changes and compliance: The regulation of cryptocurrencies is a constantly evolving field. If a token or its project ceases to comply with local or international regulations (such as those related to anti-money laundering - AML, or the financing of terrorism - CFT), exchanges may be forced to delist them to ensure legal compliance and user protection. At Bit2Me, legal security and transparency are fundamental pillars.

What can affected users do?

If you hold tokens that Bit2Me has announced it will delist, it is crucial that you act promptly. At Bit2Me, we strive to provide the longest possible time frame for users to manage their assets before the final delisting, whenever feasible. Here are your options:

• Withdraw the tokens to an external wallet (most recommended option): This is the safest and most advisable measure. You should transfer your delisted tokens to a private cryptocurrency wallet (such as a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor, or a software walletlike MetaMask or Trust Wallet) that is compatible with the token in question.

• Convert the tokens to other listed assets (if applicable): In some specific cases, Bit2Me might enable a limited period during which you can still sell your delisted tokens in exchange for other cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin or Ethereum) or even fiat currency (euros). We recommend you check Bit2Me's official announcements to confirm if this option is available for the tokens you hold.

• Keep the tokens on Bit2Me (until the deadline): You can choose to keep the tokens in your Bit2Me account until the announced deadline. However, once that date has passed, the ability to trade or withdraw them directly from the platform could be compromised.

Key recommendations:

To manage a delisting effectively, we advise you to:

• Stay informed: Regularly check Bit2Me's official announcements (email, blog, social media) about the delisting. The information will be published in our STATUS section. It's also important to check the official announcements of the token's project in question.
• Act quickly: Don't leave the management of your assets until the last minute. Deadlines are usually limited.
• Verify your wallet's compatibility: Before initiating any withdrawal, make sure that your external wallet is compatible with the token you are going to transfer.
• Consider transaction costs: Be aware of the network fees associated with transferring your tokens to an external wallet.
