South Korea-based cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb has announced it will end trading support for three digital assets as part of its investor protection policies. The official statement from the exchange indicated that the WITCH, TALK, and HVH tokens will be delisted.
The decision was reportedly made based on assessments by the Digital Asset Exchanges Joint Advisory Board (DAXA), an association of cryptocurrency exchanges operating in South Korea.
The statement emphasized that these assets had previously been categorized as “trading alert,” but the decision to terminate trading support was made because the identified risks and issues could not be resolved.
According to the shared schedule, trading for the relevant tokens will cease on May 18, 2026, at 3:00 PM. Users will have until June 18, 2026, at 3:00 PM to withdraw their assets. A warning has been issued stating that withdrawal transactions may be technically restricted or completely stopped after this date.
Bithumb strongly advised users to withdraw their assets within the specified timeframes to avoid any inconvenience to investors. It was also noted that after withdrawal support ends, technical support for related projects, such as mainnet updates, hard forks, airdrops, or token conversions, may also cease.
Stock exchange officials stated that listed assets are regularly audited and that necessary steps will continue to be taken to ensure a transparent market environment.
