Cryptocurrency exchange Bit.com has announced a structured shutdown plan, set to conclude by March 31, 2026. The process begins on December 27, 2025, with the immediate cessation of new user registrations. Current users are urged to withdraw their funds or transfer them to Matrixport, as spot trading will be terminated by January 31, 2026. Following the end of spot trading, Bit.com will impose restrictions on contract trading, leading up to a final withdrawal window. Users are advised to act promptly to avoid automatic conversions and remain vigilant against potential scams. This closure comes amid shifting market sentiments, prompting traders to consider alternative altcoins as they monitor the fear and greed index.
