Binance stops EPIC and QUICK withdrawals
Binance will stop processing withdrawals of Epic Chain (EPIC) and QuickSwap (QUICK) at 03:00 UTC on December 28, 2026. On December 29, the exchange may convert any leftover balances into stablecoins, although it has stated that such conversion is not guaranteed.
What is happening
This is the final stage of the delisting of EPIC and QUICK that Binance announced on October 14. The exchange said its latest review found that both tokens no longer met its requirements for continued listing, without naming a specific violation. Both assets had earlier carried Binance's Monitoring Tag: QUICK since April 30 and EPIC since May 22.
The wind-down runs in steps. Spot trading pairs for both tokens close at 03:00 UTC on October 28, with derivatives and several other services ending earlier. Deposits stop being credited after 03:00 UTC on October 29. Withdrawals stay open until 03:00 UTC on December 28, giving holders time to move tokens to external wallets or other platforms.
Balances still on the exchange after December 29 may be converted into stablecoins on behalf of customers. Binance said a separate notice will be issued if it decides to do so. Where conversion is not possible, it may keep withdrawals available, subject to network conditions. The announcement did not say whether the EPIC or QUICK project teams will provide token migrations or alternative trading arrangements for affected users.
Why it matters
For holders who keep EPIC or QUICK on Binance, December 28 is the practical deadline for taking custody of their tokens. After withdrawals close, the only outcome described by the exchange is a possible stablecoin conversion that it does not guarantee, so leaving balances untouched adds uncertainty about how and at what value they are handled.
The delisting itself already affected both tokens when it was announced, with sharp declines reported in the first hours. The withdrawal cutoff is a later, procedural milestone rather than a new trading restriction, since spot trading ends in October. Traders and holders should check Binance's official notices for any follow-up on conversions or changes to withdrawal availability.
