The deadline for most BlockFi customers to withdraw their cryptocurrency holdings was April 28, 2024. But the company is now offering a way for those who missed out on the first opportunity.

The 2022 bankruptcy brought about significant changes for cryptocurrency lender BlockFi as it shut down its platform. The New Jersey-based company announced on May 9, 2024 that it will shut down its web platform by the end of the month. The move is part of a significant partnership with cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, which will help distribute BlockFi’s cryptocurrency holdings to eligible users.

BlockFi’s decision to shut down its platform marks the end of an era for the company. Previously, BlockFi offered interest-bearing accounts and other cryptocurrency lending products. However, the fallout from the FTX collapse in November 2022 had a huge impact on BlockFi, ultimately leading to it filing for bankruptcy.

BlockFi CEO Zac Prince has publicly attributed the company’s downfall to the actions of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for massive fraud.

BlockFi has partnered with Coinbase for withdrawals.

The deadline for most BlockFi customers to withdraw their cryptocurrency was April 28, 2024. But the company is now offering a way for those who missed out on the first opportunity. Through its partnership with Coinbase, BlockFi allows eligible users with BlockFi Interest Accounts (BIAs), retail lending, and private client accounts to access crypto assets.

The withdrawal process involves creating a Coinbase account, either a new or existing account. Users who successfully complete these steps will be able to withdraw their cryptocurrency holdings directly from Coinbase. However, for those who choose not to use Coinbase, BlockFi sells their assets and distributes cash equivalents as a last resort.

This partnership with Coinbase is a strategic move for BlockFi. Plan administrators can now distribute not only existing funds, but also assets potentially recovered from the ongoing FTX bankruptcy proceedings. Coinbase allows for ongoing cryptocurrency distribution rather than just paying out cash in future rounds.

Secure cryptocurrency distribution through Coinbase

BlockFi announced that Coinbase is its only partner of choice for distribution of cryptocurrency assets, warning users to beware of potential scams. The company has a history of being the target of fraudulent activity, with some users receiving misleading emails that appear to be from a legitimate source and promise immediate withdrawals.

As the platform’s shutdown approaches, BlockFi advised users to download their transaction history, tax documents, and other relevant information before the platform goes offline. This allows users to easily access their financial records even after BlockFi stops operating.

The closure of the BlockFi platform marks a significant event in the ongoing story of the company’s bankruptcy. While the partnership with Coinbase provides a way to distribute user funds, it also represents a changing landscape for cryptocurrency lending due to significant industry disruption.
