Bitvavo sets SWEAT delisting deadlines for 7 October

SWEAT leaves the market on 7 October

Bitvavo will delist SWEAT on 7 October 2026, removing its market from the exchange. Holders face separate deadlines for selling or transferring their tokens, followed by automatic conversion of balances left behind.

Deposits stop at 13:00 CEST, buying and selling at 14:00, and withdrawals at 15:00 that Wednesday. These correspond to 11:00, 12:00 and 13:00 UTC. The notice schedules remaining balances for conversion into euros on 15 October or earlier, without guaranteeing a rate or spread. The displayed euro value may temporarily show zero after trading stops while the sale is processed. That interim display should not be mistaken for the final proceeds.

Prepare a destination you control

Supporting instructions exclude UK accounts. For holders choosing an external transfer, Bitvavo’s address-book guide explains the destination setup. An address book is a saved list of receiving addresses, not a separate wallet holding funds. Crypto withdrawals must already be enabled before an address can be added. Only addresses belonging to the account holder are permitted; the service cannot be used to send payments to someone else.

In the app, open the profile menu, select Address book, add an address and choose the asset. On the website, the route runs through the profile menu, Security and the Address book tab. Give the entry a name, enter the receiving address and complete the verification link sent by email.

The guide separately requires matching the network supported by Bitvavo with the network accepted by the receiving wallet or exchange. A network is the blockchain over which the asset moves. A familiar token name alone does not establish compatibility. This notice does not identify a SWEAT withdrawal network, so the asset-specific details shown at both ends need to agree before the destination is used.

Follow the withdrawal through each status

Bitvavo’s transfer-status guide distinguishes a received request from a transfer broadcast to the blockchain. Awaiting processing means the request is with Bitvavo; an additional compliance check can lengthen that stage. Submitting to the network means the exchange is sending the transaction and waiting for confirmation. Network congestion can delay this step, including time in the mempool, the queue of transactions awaiting processing.

The status Completed means broadcast, according to the guide. It does not necessarily mean the receiving wallet has already credited the funds: that depends on its required number of confirmations. The guide offers no guaranteed arrival time for this particular withdrawal.

The transaction identifier, or TxID, is available by opening the withdrawal in Transaction History. It gives the user a specific record to investigate rather than relying on an account balance alone. For repeated cancellations, the guide points to network-maintenance information and support. These general status descriptions do not establish how Bitvavo will handle a request still pending at the delisting cutoff.

Compare the amount sent with the amount received

A withdrawal fee is a cost associated with sending crypto over its blockchain. Bitvavo’s fee guide says it is deducted from the transfer, leaving the recipient with less than the amount sent. It also says its charge can exceed a private wallet’s network cost, reflecting transaction processing and the operation of its hosted wallets. Fees can rise substantially during busy network periods.

Consider a purely illustrative transfer of 200 units with an assumed fee of five units. The recipient gets 195, and the cost is 2.5% of the amount sent. If the same assumed fee applied to 1,000 units, the recipient would get 995 and the cost would be 0.5%. These are arithmetic examples, not SWEAT fee quotations or promises that a fee stays fixed.

The distinction matters when comparing a transfer with the amount a receiving platform expects. Bitvavo links its current fee schedule from the help page; the delisting notice does not state a fixed SWEAT withdrawal charge. Use the applicable displayed cost when assessing the transfer amount.
