radFi Shutdown News: Bitcoin Runes Platform Caps Trades at 0.01 BTC

Bitcoin Runes Platform Begins a Phased Wind Down

Crypto news today centers on radFi, a Bitcoin Runes trading and liquidity platform that is closing in phases. This radFi shutdown news update brings immediate limits on pool activity and firm dates for exit.

According to the official radFi announcement, the team still believes in Bitcoin, Runes and Ordinals. It says it cannot give the product the attention it needs to last. The plan aims for a safe and orderly wind-down.

The platform was an automated market maker for BTC and fungible tokens. It aimed for near-instant swaps and liquidity provision on Bitcoin mainnet, and it entered public beta around April 2025.

New Trade and Liquidity Limits Start Right Away

Every action that touches liquidity pools is now rate limited. The team calls it a security step and may adjust the caps later.

• 0.01 BTC per transaction for trading and liquidity provision

• 0.05 BTC in total BTC outflows per day

Larger liquidity providers may want to plan early. At 0.05 BTC a day, exiting a big position takes many days. For example, pulling 1 BTC out of a pool would take at least 20 days at the daily limit, and LP withdrawals close on January 11. 

Anyone following the radFi shutdown news should watch how these caps change across Runes markets.

radFi Shutdown News: Key Dates Users Must Know

This crypto update works as a simple checklist, and each date comes from the plan.

The January 11 date matters most for liquidity providers. After it, only withdrawals from trading wallets remain supported, so open pool positions need closing first. That leaves about two months.

How Node Strategy Will Handle Withdrawals Later

Node Strategy, the partner named in the plan, shared its own update soon after. It pulled its liquidity pool for now and is weighing options, such as a move to Ethereum mainnet or an orderly wind-down.

It also confirmed it will keep a custom withdrawal site for both assets. It promised plenty of notice to holders, and nothing is needed from them today.

Trading wallets use a 2-of-2 multisig design, as the project documentation describes. The team says the wallets never depended on the platform. So withdrawals should stay possible through the Node Strategy site once the app goes offline.

Why This Matters for the Bitcoin Runes Market

Runes arrived around the April 2024 halving through Casey Rodarmor as a more efficient alternative to BRC-20. Early hype lifted fees and activity, but steady liquidity and volume proved harder to keep. The closure of this trading platform adds to the pressure on this infrastructure.

The team ended its post with “Runes Ain’t Dead,” signaling continued belief in the ecosystem.

The radFi shutdown news is a reminder to confirm details through official channels before moving funds. Users with assets in trading wallets have until February 11 to withdraw through the app. As with any wind-down, limits and timelines can change, so rely on official posts rather than screenshots.

• Withdraw from trading wallets before February 11

• Follow @radfi_btc and @ndestrategy for updates

• Verify every website address before connecting a wallet
