What Happens to My Portfolio If My Coin Is Force-Sold?

If a coin in your portfolio is force-sold — which typically happens after the sell cut-off date for a delisting has passed and you still hold a balance — Pluang sells your remaining holdings automatically at the last available market price and credits the proceeds to your account in IDR, since all Pluang crypto trades settle in IDR. The key thing to understand is that a force sell is not a forfeiture: your holdings are converted to cash rather than lost, and that cash lands in your Pluang IDR balance where you can withdraw or reinvest it. You do not need to do anything for it to happen — it runs on its own once the cut-off passes. What you give up is control over the price and timing, because the sale executes at the last available market price rather than a price you choose. Force sell is one of two possible outcomes at a delisting; the other is that Pluang makes the coin send-eligible so you can transfer it out to a personal wallet yourself. Which one applies depends on the specific case, so check the coin's label detail view and your notifications.


  • Why it happens. A force sell is used in exceptional cases such as a delisting's sell cut-off, where Pluang needs to close out any remaining balance on your behalf once the window to sell yourself has closed.
  • It is one of two outcomes. After a coin's sell cut-off, Pluang either force-sells the remaining holdings or activates the send/transfer feature so you can move the coin to a personal wallet yourself. Which one applies depends on the case.
  • No action needed from you. A force sell executes automatically once the cut-off passes and you still hold a balance — you do not have to confirm or trigger anything for it to run.
  • Your holdings become cash, not nothing. The coin balance is converted into IDR proceeds and credited to your Pluang account. You are not left empty-handed; you end up with cash instead of the coin.
  • You don't set the price or timing. The sale happens at the last available market price at the time of the force sell. You cannot choose a target price or decide when it runs, which is the main trade-off compared with selling yourself.
  • Proceeds settle in IDR. Because all crypto trades on Pluang settle in IDR rather than USD or USDT, the money from a force sell arrives in your IDR balance, ready to withdraw or reinvest.

Related questions:

Q: Do I lose money if my coin is force-sold?
A force sell converts your holdings to cash rather than erasing them — you receive the last available market price in IDR at the time of the sale, credited to your Pluang balance. So you are not left with nothing. What you give up is control: because the sale runs automatically at the last available market price, you cannot choose the price or the timing yourself. Whether that price is higher or lower than what you paid depends entirely on the market at that moment.

Q: Can I avoid a force sell?
Yes. A force sell only happens if you still hold a balance when the sell cut-off passes, so selling your holdings yourself before that cut-off date avoids it entirely. Where Pluang instead makes the coin send-eligible, transferring the coin to a personal wallet before the cut-off is the alternative way to act on your own terms. The specific dates and the available option are shown in the coin's label detail view and your in-app notifications, so check there.

Q: Where do the proceeds from a force sell go?
Straight into your Pluang IDR balance. Because all crypto trades on Pluang settle in IDR rather than USD or USDT, a force sell converts your holdings to Indonesian rupiah and credits that amount to your account. From there the cash behaves like any other IDR balance — you can withdraw it or use it to invest in something else. There is no separate wallet or holding step you need to manage for the proceeds.

Q: Does force sell only happen to delisted coins?
Force sell is described in the context of a delisting's sell cut-off, which is the situation where Pluang closes out a remaining balance on your behalf. Rather than assume it applies elsewhere, the reliable approach is to check the coin's label detail view and any Pluang notification, which spell out the specific outcome for your case. If a coin you hold is affected, those two places will tell you whether a force sell or a send-out option applies.

Q: Will I be told before a force sell happens?
For a planned delisting, the coin carries advance-warning information — the label detail view and your in-app notifications are where Pluang surfaces the removal date, the sell cut-off, and the action you need to take. Watching those means a force sell should not come as a surprise: you can see the cut-off approaching and choose to sell or, where offered, transfer the coin out yourself before the window closes.
