On Sunday, the firm's CEO and founder, Kevin Pan, said that Poolin was facing liquidity issues but assured users that assets were safe. Customers have been complaining since at least as far back as August that withdrawals were slow.
"Poolin Wallet plans to pause all withdrawals, flash trades, and internal transfers within Poolin systems" starting 2 p.m. GMT on Monday in order to preserve assets and stabilize liquidity, said the post on the wallet's official Medium account.
A "feasible" solution will be provided within a week, the post said, echoing Pan's statement that the company would soon come up with a plan to fix the issues. That plan might include debt, according to Pan's post.
In a separate post on Poolin's site on Monday, the company announced it was waiving fees for bitcoin and ether mining until Dec. 7, starting Sept. 8, and for 12 months for users with more than 1 BTC or 5 ether in their pool balance or in Pool Account.
In a post on Poolin's Chinese-language customer support Telegram channel on Sunday, the firm explained that accounts on the mining pool are supported by its wallet service.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Stablecoins moved $35 trillion last year but only 1% of it was for 'real world' payments
While stablecoins settled around $35 trillion last year, only around 1% of that represented genuine payments like remittances and payroll, a new report found.
What to know:
- Stablecoins processed more than $35 trillion in transactions last year, but only about 1% of that reflected real-world payments, a report by McKinsey and Artemis Analytics found.
- The study estimated that roughly $390 billion in genuine stablecoin payments, such as vendor payments, payrolls, remittances and capital markets settlements.
- Despite rapid growth and increasing interest from traditional payment firms like Visa and Stripe, true stablecoin payments still account for just a tiny fraction of the more than $2 quadrillion global payments market, the report said.
