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. A force sell is not a forfeiture: your holdings are converted to cash rather than lost, and that cash lands in your IDR balance where you can withdraw or reinvest it. You give up control over the price and timing, but you are not left empty-handed.
Good to know:
- Why it happens: used in exceptional cases such as a delisting's sell cut-off, where Pluang closes out any remaining balance on your behalf.
- One of two outcomes: after a sell cut-off, Pluang either force-sells your holdings or makes the coin send-eligible so you can transfer it out yourself — which one depends on the case.
- No action needed: a force sell runs automatically once the cut-off passes and you still hold a balance.
- Holdings become cash, not nothing: your balance is converted to IDR proceeds and credited to your account.
- You don't set price or timing: the sale executes at the last available market price at the time of the force sell.
- Proceeds settle in IDR: the money 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. You can't choose the price or timing yourself, and whether it's higher or lower than what you paid depends on the market at that moment.
Q: Can I avoid a force sell?
Yes — selling your holdings yourself before the cut-off date avoids it. Where the coin is made send-eligible instead, transferring it to a personal wallet before the cut-off is the alternative. Check the coin's label detail view for the dates.
Q: Where do the proceeds from a force sell go?
Straight into your Pluang IDR balance, since all crypto trades settle in IDR rather than USD/USDT. From there you can withdraw or reinvest the cash.
Q: Does force sell only happen to delisted coins?
Force sell is described in the context of a delisting's sell cut-off. Check the coin's label detail view and any Pluang notification for the specific outcome that applies to your case.
Q: Will I be told before a force sell happens?
For a planned delisting, the label detail view and your in-app notifications show the removal date, the sell cut-off, and the action to take — so a force sell should not come as a surprise.
