What Does the "Rug Pulled" Label Mean?

The "Rug Pulled" label appears when a coin's network is shut down due to suspected fraud or project failure, making the coin untradeable while it remains visible in your portfolio if you already hold it.


Good to know:

  • The coin becomes untradeable immediately and no longer appears in Home or Explore.
  • Any balance you already hold stays visible in your portfolio.
  • Unlike a planned delisting, a rug pull is abrupt with no advance warning stage.
  • Pluang provides further information about the removal process once case details are confirmed.

Q: What's the difference between "Rug Pulled" and "Delisted"?
Delisting is a planned removal with advance warning; a rug pull is an abrupt shutdown with no warning stage.
