1/ With the Merge hours away, there are a lot of questions about what exchanges will be doing.

Here’s a list that may help you navigate this exciting moment in crypto’s history.

But keep in mind, the information below may change rapidly. Each exchange should be consulted.

2/ Binance plans to suspend deposits and withdrawals on September 15th at 00:30 UTC for ETH/ERC-20. Support for forked tokens will be evaluated. If there is a forked token, it will be credited at a 1:1 ratio.

3/ OKEX plans to alert users before the Merge of when it will suspend ETH/ERC-20s. OKEX will track the price of PoS ETH during the Merge. If there is an airdrop, users will receive ETHW at a 1:1 ratio with their ETH balance at the time of the Merge.

4/ FTX is focused on supporting continuous trading and doesn’t plan to halt or settle ETH futures prior to the Merge. ETH futures and perpetual contracts will track the price of PoS Ethereum after the Merge.

5/ Coinbase plans to suspend ETH/ERC-20 deposits and withdrawals a few hours before the Merge as a precautionary measure. There shouldn’t be any impact to trading ETH or ERC-20 tokens across Coinbase’s centralized products

6/ Kucoin plans to suspend deposits and withdrawals for ETH/ERC-20s on September 14th at 15:51 UTC. At the moment, Kucoin will decide to list forked tokens based on user opinions and compliance with security standards that ensure the safety of users’ assets.

7/ Bybit plans to suspend deposits and withdrawals for ETH/ERC-20s a few hours before the Merge. Bybit will track the price of PoS ETH and follow standard settlement and delivery procedures. ETHW will be supported if it’s cleared by its risk management and security teams.

8/ Gate.io plans to suspend deposits and withdrawals for ETH/ERC-20s on September 15th at 00:00 AM UTC. Gate.io users can swap their ETH for ETHS and ETHW before the Merge at a 1:1 ratio, or redeem them for ETH if the hard fork fails.

9/ Kraken states that it doesn’t guarantee that an ETHW fork would be listed on its exchange.

10/ Bitfinex plans to suspend deposits and withdrawals for ETH/ERC-20s two hours before the Merge. If there is an ETHW airdrop, users will be eligible.

11/ Four hours before the Merge, Bitfinex will pause trading and cancel orders for all ETHW and ETHS pairs.

If there is an ETH fork, borrowers will have to pay back the difference for the forked tokens.

12/ Gemini plans to suspend deposits and withdrawals 1-2 hours before the Merge and is unlikely to support an ETHPOW fork.

13/ Ascendex plans to suspend deposits and withdrawals on September 15th for ETH/ERC-20. They will be reopened post-Merge when the network is deemed stable. If there is an ETHPOW fork, it will be supported by Ascendex and distributed to holders at a 1:1 ratio, if any.

14/ Deribit plans to credit users with forked tokens if the value of the forked token is larger than 0.25% of ETH PoS and the new chain is operating under normal circumstances.

15/ ETHW would only be credited to Deribit users for withdrawal purposes on a 1:1 basis. Settlement will only occur on the main chain for options.
