Before You Start: Reconsider Simpler Options

If your concern is security or unused activity rather than actually wanting to leave, consider a security review or a long dormant period instead of full deletion — it's easier to reverse than an account closure.

Step 1: Cancel Open Orders and Positions

Close any open spot orders, futures positions, or active earn/staking products first. An account with locked funds generally can't be closed cleanly.

Step 2: Withdraw All Remaining Funds

Withdraw every asset to a wallet you control, double-checking the network for each token before sending. Any balance left behind after closure can become difficult or impossible to recover.

Step 3: Check for Pending Reviews

A pending compliance review or unresolved support ticket can block closure until it's finished. Resolve any open items first rather than attempting to close mid-review.

Step 4: Submit the Closure Request

Use the official account closure option in security or account settings, or contact support directly if there isn't a self-service option visible for your account type.

What Happens to Your Data

Regulatory recordkeeping requirements typically mean some transaction records are retained for a set period even after account closure, regardless of your deletion request.

Can You Reopen It Later?

Policies on re-registration after closure vary and can change over time — don't assume you'll be able to simply sign up again with the same identity immediately.

A Simpler Alternative to Full Closure

If your real goal is reducing exposure rather than leaving permanently, withdrawing your balance to a personal wallet and simply not logging in achieves most of the same outcome without going through a formal closure request — you keep the option to return later without a re-registration question mark hanging over it.
