OKX has announced that USDC deposits and withdrawals on the Solana network will be suspended starting July 14, 2026, as the exchange performs scheduled wallet maintenance. Users who regularly move USDC through Solana on OKX should plan transfers accordingly before the cutoff.
OKX published a help-center notice on July 13, 2026, stating that it will suspend USDC deposits and withdrawals on the Solana network beginning at 6:30 am UTC on July 14, 2026. The suspension applies specifically to wallet maintenance and covers both incoming and outgoing USDC transfers on the Solana chain.

OKX first enabled USDC deposits and withdrawals on the Solana network on October 12, 2023, alongside USDT-Solana support. The maintenance notice marks a routine operational pause rather than a permanent change to Solana-based USDC services.
The notice affects anyone who uses OKX to deposit or withdraw USDC specifically through the Solana network. Users who hold USDC on OKX or trade it on the platform are not impacted, as the restriction is limited to on-chain transfers.
For users who rely on Solana's speed and low fees for stablecoin transfers, the temporary suspension means routing USDC through an alternative network or waiting until OKX completes its maintenance. USDC is available on multiple chains, so users who need to move funds during the downtime may consider other supported networks.

OKX warned users not to deposit or withdraw USDC on the Solana network during the maintenance period. Any transfer initiated during the suspension could face delays or complications.
Since OKX stated it will not publish a separate resumption notice, users should check the exchange's deposit and withdrawal suspension announcements page or test a small transfer to confirm service has been restored. The OKX help center remains the most reliable place to monitor updates.
Crypto exchanges regularly perform wallet maintenance across various networks. Separate from this operational notice, the broader regulatory landscape for exchanges continues to evolve, as seen in moves like the EU issuing 230 MiCA licenses ahead of compliance deadlines. Meanwhile, users should remain alert to scams impersonating exchanges or law enforcement, particularly during periods when legitimate service disruptions create confusion.
