FTX Ends Anchor Support, Suspends LUNC and USTC Deposits and Withdrawals

Crypto exchange FTX, in an official announcement on September 5, revealed that deposits and withdrawals of Terra Classic (LUNC) and TerraClassicUSD (USTC) will be suspended on September 12 at 2 PM UTC.

FTX Wallet will no longer support deposit and withdrawal services. However, the crypto exchange will continue to support the “convert function” for LUNC and USTC.

FTX recommends completing deposits and withdrawals before the deadline. Deposits and withdrawals made after the deadline will not credit to wallets.

In addition, FTX will delist Anchor Protocol (ANC) token. It will also end support for ANC spot and futures markets on September 12 at 2 PM UTC.

FTX will cancel all ANC/USD and ANC-PERP orders, cease trading on ANC/USD and ANC-PERP markets, and suspend ANC deposits and withdrawals. Moreover, ANC-PERP will cash-expire to a 1-hour TWAP of its corresponding index prices.

However, the “convert function” for ANC will be available on the crypto exchange.

Last week, FTX supported the Terra Classic (LUNC) network upgrade on August 26. It reopened withdrawals for all Terra Classic tokens after a successful upgrade.

Binance earlier announced the suspension of Terra Classic and TerraClassicUSD due to the closure of the Shuttle Bridge. This ended deposits and withdrawals of Terra Classic (LUNC) via the Ethereum network. However, users can still use the Terra Classic network to deposit and withdraw their LUNC and USTC tokens.
