StandX is shutting down: withdrawals and DUSD redemptions close January 31, 2027
Deadline: 31 January 2027 · positions force-closed 15 Jan; DUSD redemption takes 7 days (105 days left) After 31 Jan 2027: StandX says remaining balances still belong to their owners but can only be recovered by contacting StandX support. Checked against the official sources below on 18 October 2026.
StandX announced on 15 October 2026 that it will not launch a token and is winding down. Perpetuals move to reduce-only on 20 October 2026 (new registrations and DUSD minting close the same day). Every remaining position is closed at the mark price on 15 January 2027, when deposits also close. Withdrawals from Perps and Cash Wallets and DUSD redemption requests close on 31 January 2027, and StandX removes its DUSD liquidity from PancakeSwap and Raydium that day. A DUSD airdrop claim runs from 1 November to 31 December 2026.
1. The official route
Close or reduce any open perpetual positions yourself before 15 January 2027; anything still open is closed at the mark price that day. Vault shares settle at final NAV into your Perps Wallet.
Move funds from your Perps Wallet to your Cash Wallet, then withdraw on-chain. StandX says withdrawals arrive as DUSD.
To get USDT or USDC instead of DUSD, submit a redemption at standx.com/portfolio by 31 January 2027. Redemptions have a 7-day lock, a 10 DUSD minimum and a protocol fee shown before you confirm. You need a little SOL for network fees.
If you were eligible for the DUSD airdrop, claim between 1 November and 31 December 2026 (08:00 UTC) with the same wallet you used on StandX.
2. Things that catch people out
The trading deadline (15 January) comes two weeks before the withdrawal deadline (31 January). Waiting for the last date means a forced close at a price you didn't choose.
A redemption submitted on 31 January completes about 7 days later, and it can't be cancelled once submitted.
DEX liquidity for DUSD may get much thinner once StandX withdraws its own liquidity on 31 January. Redeem rather than relying on a late DEX sale.
