Why Do Coin Delistings Happen on Pluang?

Coins get delisted on Pluang when PT Bumi Santosa Cemerlang — the licensed entity that facilitates all crypto trading on Pluang — determines that an asset no longer meets the platform's standards for risk, liquidity, project activity, or regulatory compliance. Delisting is a normal part of running a responsible exchange: it protects the wider investment ecosystem for every user, and the same practice is followed by major global exchanges. A delisting on Pluang is not a sudden confiscation of your holdings — it follows a staged process in which buying is stopped first, selling stays open until a cut-off date, and any balance remaining after that is either force-sold at the last available market price or made transferable to another platform through the send crypto feature. Pluang notifies affected users by email and in-app message ahead of the removal date, so you have time to sell or move your coins before anything happens automatically.


  • Development and supply/demand monitoring. Pluang continuously tracks each asset's development progress and its supply-and-demand dynamics. Coins that stall on these measures over time become candidates for review.
  • Trading volume and liquidity. Assets with persistently low trading volume or thin liquidity are periodically evaluated, because low liquidity makes fair, orderly pricing harder to maintain.
  • Project activity. The activity and progress of the team or community behind each coin is assessed. Inactive or abandoned projects — where development has effectively stopped — are strong delisting candidates.
  • Regulatory and government decisions. Pluang complies with all rulings issued by Bappebti, OJK, and other relevant regulators. A coin removed from Bappebti's approved whitelist of tradeable crypto assets in Indonesia must be delisted regardless of how it performs on the other criteria.
  • The removal itself is staged, not instant. Buying is disabled first, selling stays available until the sell cut-off date, and only afterward does a force sell or a send-crypto activation apply to any leftover balance.
  • You are warned in advance. Pluang sends proactive email and in-app notifications ahead of every planned delisting so you can act before the deadline.

Related questions:

Q: Will I lose my coins if a crypto is delisted on Pluang?
No, not automatically. You can sell your holdings yourself at any point before the sell cut-off date. If a balance still remains after that date, Pluang either force-sells it at the last available market price and credits the proceeds to your IDR balance, or activates the send crypto feature so you can transfer the coin to another platform that still supports it. Either way, a delisting does not simply erase what you hold.

Q: Who decides which coins get delisted on Pluang?
PT Bumi Santosa Cemerlang, the licensed entity that facilitates all crypto trading on Pluang, makes delisting decisions. The decision is based on the platform's standing criteria — risk, liquidity, project activity, and development — together with regulatory requirements from Bappebti, OJK, and other authorities. It is a structured review rather than an arbitrary or one-off call, and the same criteria are applied consistently across all listed assets.

Q: Does Bappebti regulation affect which coins Pluang can offer?
Yes. Every crypto asset tradeable in Indonesia must appear on Bappebti's approved whitelist of tradeable coins. If a coin is removed from that list, Pluang is required to delist it, no matter how well it performs on liquidity, volume, or project activity. Regulatory compliance can therefore override every other criterion — a healthy coin can still be delisted purely because it left the approved list.

Q: How will Pluang notify me about a coin delisting?
For planned delistings, Pluang sends proactive notifications through both email and in-app messages before the removal date. These messages explain the timeline and the action you should take, such as selling before the cut-off or transferring the coin out. Because the notice arrives ahead of the deadline, you have a window to decide what to do rather than being caught by surprise on the removal date itself.

Q: Can I transfer a delisted coin to another exchange?
In some cases, yes. When a delisting activates the send crypto feature, you can transfer your remaining holdings to another platform that still supports the coin — and no fixed deadline is set for sending in that scenario. In other cases a force sell applies instead. Always confirm your destination platform still supports the coin and network before you initiate any transfer, since on-chain transfers cannot be reversed.
