Kraken Removes 13 Tokens From Trading and Sets Withdrawal Deadline

WHY IT MATTERS

When a crypto exchange "delists" a token, it means the exchange stops allowing people to buy and sell that token on its platform. Think of it like a store deciding to stop carrying a certain product — the product still exists, but you can no longer purchase it at that particular store. For users who already hold the delisted tokens on Kraken, the exchange has set a deadline by which they need to withdraw (move) their tokens to a personal wallet or another platform. If users miss this deadline, they may lose access to those tokens. This is a reminder that when you keep crypto on an exchange, the exchange controls access to it, and its decisions can directly affect your holdings.
