KuCoin closes RVN withdrawals on November 9: where Ravencoin miners can still sell

If you still keep Ravencoin (RVN) on KuCoin, you have until November 9, 2026, 08:00 UTC to get it out. KuCoin's notice removed RVN from trading on October 8, and it is only the latest in a string of exits that started after the August bug in KAWPOW. Here is what happened, where RVN can still be sold and what miners should change right now.

What KuCoin announced

RVN was one of 30 tokens in KuCoin's October delisting batch, alongside ETHPoW (ETHW). The schedule is strict:

• October 6, 08:00 UTC: RVN deposits switched off for good.
• October 8, 08:00 UTC: trading ended and open orders were cancelled. Trading bots on RVN were shut down two hours earlier.
• November 9, 08:00 UTC: withdrawals close. KuCoin warns it cannot cover losses if withdrawals fail for project-side reasons, so do not leave it to the last day.

One detail matters for small balances: according to CEXQA's fee tracker, KuCoin charges 150 RVN per withdrawal with a 300 RVN minimum. Anything below that cannot leave the exchange at all.

Why exchanges are dropping RVN

As Shironeko's buyer guide reconstructs it, from about August 7 attackers exploited a flaw in how nodes validated the block-height field in KAWPOW headers, and vulnerable nodes accepted invalid blocks starting at height 4,487,776. An emergency patch from the 2Miners team added a checkpoint one block earlier. Exchanges reacted quickly: Upbit paused RVN transfers and put the coin on its alert list, and Bitget paused transfers too. Then the delistings came:

• Bitvavo removed RVN on September 18 and converted leftover balances to euros by September 28.
• Upbit, which had handled more than half of RVN volume, ended trading on October 12.
• KuCoin followed with the October 8 delisting described above.
• Bithumb has RVN on its watchlist with no date yet. That is the next one to watch.

Where RVN still trades

As of October 26, CEXQA lists live RVN spot markets on six major exchanges. Almost all liquidity is now in USDT pairs:

• Binance: RVN/USDT and RVN/TRY, withdrawal fee 0.15 RVN (raised from 0.1 on October 20). Sign up
• OKX: three pairs including USDC and EUR, withdrawal fee 0.8 RVN. The RVN/USD pair was removed on September 30. Sign up
• Bybit: RVN/USDT. Sign up
• Gate: RVN/USDT, plus futures and margin. Sign up
• MEXC: RVN/USDT and RVN/USDC. Sign up
• HTX: RVN/USDT trades, but deposits and withdrawals on the RVN network are paused, so you cannot move coins in or out.

Check access before you send coins: MEXC has stopped serving users from Russia and Belarus, and HTX has restricted users from Russia. KuCoin and Bitget no longer list RVN spot, and Coinbase and Kraken never did.

What miners should do now

1. Check your pool payout address. If your pool pays RVN straight to a KuCoin deposit address, those payouts will not be credited: deposits have been off since October 6. Switch to your own wallet (addresses start with a capital R) or to an exchange where RVN deposits are open.
2. Withdraw from KuCoin before November 9. Remember the 150 RVN fee and 300 RVN minimum.
3. Run patched software. Use a node or pool that includes the August KAWPOW validation fix, otherwise you risk mining invalid blocks.
4. Mind thin order books. With Upbit gone, every fill moves the price more. Use limit orders and check the depth near the last price before selling.
5. Recalculate profitability. The January 2026 halving cut the block reward to 1,250 RVN, so run your own numbers on our Ravencoin page before deciding whether to keep your GPUs on it.
