Step Finance (STEP) Delisting

Last updated: 19 October 2026

STEP Finance announced that it was ceasing operations. Because the STEP network could shut down at any time, potentially before the dates listed below, Kraken might not have been able to liquidate or recover any remaining STEP balances once the network went offline. We strongly recommended that clients review their balances and take action before STEP shut down.
