Read the full assessment

The rules clearly specify the qualifying centralized exchanges: Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, OKX, and Kraken. However, insolvency without a formal bankruptcy filing can be subjective and difficult to define, leaving room for disagreement over whether a statement or report definitively confirms insolvency. Resolution relies on either official announcements or a consensus of credible reporting, which requires discretion by the resolver to determine which media outlets qualify as credible and whether a sufficient consensus has been reached. The deadline is clearly set for December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET.
