Bithumb has announced it will remove APM Coin from its trading listings, with the decision scheduled for January 2026. The exchange set a precise cutoff: the delisting will take effect at 6:00 a.m. UTC on January 19, 2026, and all trading on Bithumb will stop at that moment.
Summary: What happened and who is affected
Bithumb placed APM Coin on an investment warning list and reviewed the project as part of its listing standards. After the review, the exchange concluded the token no longer met its criteria for trading support with respect to viability and sustainability.
The immediate group affected are users who hold APM tokens on Bithumb: they will lose the ability to trade APM on the platform once trading halts at the scheduled delisting time. Holders should act before the deadline to avoid losing convenient access via the exchange.
Why Bithumb decided to delist APM Coin
Bithumb’s process began by placing APM on an investment warning list and inviting the project foundation to provide materials addressing the exchange’s concerns. That opportunity was given so the foundation could remedy issues that prompted the warning.
According to the exchange, the materials submitted by the foundation were deemed insufficient. Following a comprehensive re-evaluation, Bithumb concluded the token did not meet its standards for ongoing trading support, specifically concerning viability and sustainability.
Timeline and concrete actions for APM Coin holders
The delisting is scheduled for 6:00 a.m. UTC on January 19, 2026; trading on Bithumb will halt at that time. Holders who keep tokens on the exchange past the cutoff risk losing exchange-based access to those assets.
- Check your APM balance on Bithumb and note any open orders; cancel orders you no longer want to keep.
- Withdraw APM tokens to a compatible self-custody wallet before the delisting time. Ensure the destination wallet supports APM.
- Confirm the withdrawal transactions have completed on-chain and allow sufficient time for processing before the cutoff.
Also monitor the exchange’s official notices for any operational updates—such as temporary deposit or withdrawal suspensions—by checking the exchange’s announcements; for example, see the Bithumb deposits notice for context on maintenance events.
What delisting means for APM’s market and liquidity
The Bithumb delisting is specific to that platform; APM may still trade on other venues, including other exchanges or decentralized marketplaces. However, removal from a major exchange typically reduces readily available liquidity and can harm the token’s market reputation.
If you plan to keep APM after the delisting, monitor alternative venues and order books where the token remains listed to understand available liquidity and execution costs. Lower volume on those venues can make selling larger positions more difficult.
How exchanges evaluate and delist tokens (brief guide)
Exchanges generally review listed tokens against internal criteria that cover project disclosures, ongoing activity, legal and security considerations, and overall sustainability. When concerns arise, an exchange may place a token on a warning list and request documentation from the project team.
If submitted materials do not resolve the issues, the exchange can decide to withdraw trading support. Such reviews are part of how exchanges manage listing standards and aim to protect users by enforcing those standards.
Why this matters
For miners and small holders, delistings are a reminder that exchange listings are not permanent guarantees of liquidity or accessibility. Even if you mine and hold tokens, platform-specific delistings can change how and where you can sell or transfer assets.
For Russian miners operating one to many devices, the practical effect can be limited if you already control your keys; however, if tokens are stored on an exchange, you should treat delistings as operational risks that require timely action to retain custody and value.
What to do?
If you hold APM on Bithumb, withdraw funds to a self-custody wallet that explicitly supports APM before 6:00 a.m. UTC on January 19, 2026. Completing withdrawals early avoids last-minute network congestion or unexpected exchange maintenance that could block transfers.
Enable exchange notifications, follow any official project channels for compatibility details, and, if unsure about wallet choices or procedures, seek help from trusted technical guides. Also consider reviewing general delisting and custody guides such as the one discussing exchange pair removals for broader context: Binance margin pairs.
