Upbit to Delist BLUR From KRW and BTC Markets on November 30

Upbit Ends BLUR Trading on November 30

Upbit will remove Blur from its Korean won and Bitcoin (BTC) markets on November 30, 2026, and the exchange has not specified which of the project's shortcomings went unresolved. The decision was published on Friday in the exchange's official notice and closes a review that began with an investor warning on October 13. Trading in BLUR/KRW and BLUR/BTC stops at 15:00 Korea Standard Time on the delisting day, which corresponds to 09:00 in Turkey, and every open buy and sell order on the two markets will be cancelled in bulk at that moment. The exchange applied its own policy on placing digital assets under investment warnings and ending trading support, and it described the decision as final. The stated grounds concern deficiencies in the reality and sustainability of the project's commercial activities, a finding the warning notice had already recorded more than two weeks earlier. That October 13 warning stated the problems could expose users to financial losses and gave the project a window to correct them. Upbit concluded the identified risks were not adequately remedied and moved to termination. For Blur, the removal strips away both a fiat pairing and a Bitcoin (BTC) pairing on one of South Korea's largest crypto exchanges, where the altcoin has drawn a substantial share of its retail turnover. The notice does not quantify how much BLUR volume Upbit handled, nor does it say whether a re-listing is possible if the project later meets the exchange's standards. The announcement fixes the calendar and the general reason; the specific defect that triggered the escalation is left unnamed.

Withdrawal Window Runs to December 30

The practical burden now shifts to holders, whose options narrow in two stages. Withdrawals stay open until December 30, 2026, which gives users roughly a month past the final trading day to move balances to an external cold wallet or to a platform that still supports the token; our rundown of the best crypto exchanges covers which venues list which assets. After that date, standard withdrawal support ends as well. The exchange also stated that, following the announcement, it will no longer provide support for an airdrop, a wallet upgrade or a hard fork on the BLUR network, so any future distribution or protocol change would not reach balances left on the exchange. Upbit paired the deadline with a warning against re-deposits: tokens sent to the platform by mistake may not be credited to accounts, and refunds can drag on for technical reasons. Before any transfer, it advised users to check the receiving address, the blockchain network and whether the destination platform still accepts BLUR. The dates leave little slack for error. Transfers left to the final day carry the most risk, since order cancellation and market closure hit at a fixed hour. Open orders disappear on November 30, trading support ends the same day, and the withdrawal rail closes on December 30, after which balances held on the exchange are effectively stranded unless a separate remedy follows, which the notice does not mention. The market impact is harder to pin down. Ending both pairings removes the token's liquidity on Upbit and is likely to push order flow toward other venues, although the exchange made no prediction about where that volume would land or what it would do to the price. The announcement is also silent on how much BLUR is held by Korean users, on whether other local exchanges will run their own reviews, and on whether the project has responded since October.

A Warning, a Window, Then Removal

Read together, the two notices follow a standard exchange escalation path: warning, correction window, termination. The market has already moved; our live monitoring shows BLUR down about 9% over the last 24 hours. The delisting also lands on a project that had already scheduled to take its NFT marketplace website offline on November 12, a decision COINOTAG reported on earlier this month. For traders weighing their next step, the BLUR technical analysis page tracks where the token stands ahead of the November 30 cutoff. What nobody has answered is the question the notice itself raises: which deficiencies, exactly, remained unfixed, and does Blur intend to address them?
