TREE NEWS update: Cobo will shut down its Cobo Wallet App on December 1, 2026 (UTC+8) due to a business strategy adjustment, with users required to withdraw all assets by 23:59 on November 30. Accounts still holding assets after closure will be charged a 2% monthly management fee in the original currency, with a minimum of $100 equivalent per month; balances under $100 will be deducted in full. The first charge is set for January 1, 2027. Cobo’s other businesses continue as normal.
Cobo Wallet App to Shut Down Dec 1, 2026, With 2% Monthly Fee on Leftover Assets
The 2% monthly management fee with a $100 floor is the real signal: it is punitive enough to function as a forced-migration tool rather than a cost-recovery measure, and it turns a product sunset into a fee on inertia. The structure also creates a perverse tail — small residual balances get wiped out entirely, so the users most likely to be hurt are those with the least at stake and the least reason to be monitoring a wallet they have stopped using. The decisive question is whether Cobo gives clear, repeated, multi-channel withdrawal warnings before the deadline, since the fee only becomes a reputational issue if users can credibly claim they never saw it coming.
