Due to changes in the regulatory landscape, and in accordance with a series of communications sent over the past few months, CEX.IO services are no longer available in the State of Hawaii.

The sunset took effect on June 21, 2023.

However, we remain dedicated to ensuring all Hawaii-based users remain in full control of their wealth.

If you did not withdraw your funds before the June 20, 2023 deadline, please contact support@cex.io, or connect via live chat at support.cex.io.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and greatly appreciate the opportunity to serve as your crypto guide.

Why were services discontinued for Hawaii-based users?

Unfortunately, changes in the regulatory landscape left us unable to continue providing services for Hawaii-based users in the United States. As a result, we sunset our offerings in the state.

What were the terms and conditions of Hawaii service?

CEX.IO offered services in Hawaii via participation in a temporary research program, known as the Digital Currency Innovation Lab. The parameters of the project can be found in our Terms of Use, and are described below:

“CEX.IO Corp. is providing services to you as a participant in a special Hawaii project which ends on December 31, 2022. At the end of the project term, CEX.IO may be required to close all accounts for Hawaii customers and cease operations. CEX.IO Corp. will notify Hawaii customers in advance if accounts must be closed. Hawaii customers who choose to open accounts with CEX.IO are advised that the virtual currency or digital currency purchased, whether as an investment, for making payments, or other purposes, may lose value, including the loss of some or all of your original purchase amount.”

For additional information, please consult our Terms of Use.

When did functionality become limited for Hawaii-based users?

June 21, 2023.

What will happen to my funds after June 20, 2023?

On June 21, 2023, functionality on your CEX.IO account became extremely limited, at which point any unclaimed funds will require assistance from our Support Team to withdraw.

In the event funds are held in your CEX.IO account after the cutoff date, and CEX.IO has no record of contact with you, the law in your jurisdiction may require us to report and deliver such funds to the relevant authorities as unclaimed property. For more information, see Section 17 in our Terms of Use.

If you did not withdraw your funds before the June 20, 2023 deadline, please contact support@cex.io, or connect live chat at support.cex.io.

Our dedicated team is standing by to answer any questions about your account, or assist if you experience issues related to unclaimed property.
