Phoenix Wallet, a Bitcoin wallet created by the Bitcoin technology company ACINQ, has announced that it will terminate its operations to U.S. customers. In a recent post on X, the wallet operator noted that on May 3, it will remove Phoenix Wallet from U.S. app stores.

On May 3rd, 2024, @PhoenixWallet will be removed from US app stores.

Users from the US should empty their wallet:
– Settings > Close channels (Android)
– Settings > Drain wallet (iOS)

We highly recommend *not force-closing* channels, as on-chain fees could be significant.
