Bitvavo users holding Kava (KAVA), Nano (XNO) or Ravencoin (RVN) have a short Friday afternoon window before the exchange removes the three markets on September 18. The practical issue is different for each asset: KAVA and RVN can still be withdrawn, while XNO is trade-only on Bitvavo and cannot be moved out through a wallet withdrawal.

Friday has three different deadlines
The official Bitvavo notice gives the timeline in CEST. First, deposits close at 13:00. One hour later, buying and selling stop. One hour after that, withdrawals close for assets that Bitvavo allows users to withdraw. That sequence matters because a user who waits until after trading ends may no longer be able to sell on Bitvavo, and a user who waits until after the withdrawal cut-off may have to wait for the euro conversion instead.
Bitvavo’s support article says the automatic conversion can happen on Monday September 28 or earlier, and that no specific conversion rate is guaranteed in advance. That makes the decision less about predicting price and more about choosing the route: sell before the trading halt, withdraw where possible before the withdrawal halt, or accept Bitvavo’s later conversion process.
XNO is the awkward case
KAVA and RVN holders have two normal exits on the platform: sell before the market closes or withdraw before the withdrawal deadline. XNO is different. Bitvavo says Nano is listed as a trade-only asset, so withdrawals are not supported. For XNO holders, the practical choice is therefore narrower: sell before 14:00 CEST on Friday or leave the balance for automatic euro conversion.
Independent coverage from CryptoTicker also highlighted that distinction, but users should treat Bitvavo’s own notice as the operational source for deadlines. Exchange support pages can change, and the exact time zone matters when a deadline falls inside a normal workday in Europe.
Why Bitvavo delists assets
Bitvavo frames delistings as part of its regular asset review. Its support note says the review can consider trading volume, liquidity, network or contract stability, project activity, user interest and evidence of unethical behaviour or negligence. It also says many delistings reflect reduced activity or market conditions rather than wrongdoing by a project.
That caveat is important. A delisting notice does not prove that Kava, Nano or Ravencoin failed technically. It does mean that Bitvavo users lose the local market and, depending on the asset, the platform withdrawal route. For holders who want to keep exposure after Friday, the useful question is not whether the project still exists, but whether they have a supported wallet, understand network fees and have tested the receiving address before the cut-off.
What to check before acting
Users should confirm the asset, the deadline and the destination before making a transaction. A withdrawal sent to the wrong network or address may not be recoverable. For KAVA and RVN, that means checking whether the receiving wallet or exchange supports the exact network Bitvavo uses. For XNO, it means understanding that Bitvavo does not offer a withdrawal path.
This is an operational deadline, not investment advice. Selling, withdrawing or waiting for conversion can each create different price, fee and record-keeping consequences. The safest first step is to read the current Bitvavo notice while logged in, then decide whether the balance is worth actively moving before the Friday cut-off.
