Cobo Wallet announced in a statement that its app services will officially shut down on December 1, 2026. Users are required to withdraw all assets and update Cobo Wallet receiving addresses previously set on other platforms by 23:59 on November 30. The notice warns that users who fail to withdraw assets within the deadline will incur account maintenance fees. This adjustment will directly impact users who still use the Cobo Wallet App for asset storage and receiving, and affected users should promptly confirm their on-chain assets, receiving addresses, and withdrawal whitelist settings on associated platforms. After the app shuts down, Cobo will charge a monthly account maintenance fee for any remaining assets in users’ accounts. The fee is calculated on a coin basis, equal to 2% of the remaining assets, with a minimum monthly charge equivalent to 100 U.S. dollars. Users who fail to complete asset withdrawals before the app shutdown will be deemed to have agreed to this fee arrangement. The statement did not specify the specific reason for the service shutdown, nor did it disclose whether other products or institutional businesses under Cobo will be affected.
