radFi is winding down its Bitcoin Runes trading platform in stages. Liquidity providers have until January 11, 2027 to take their assets out of pools. Customers holding BTC or Runes in trading wallets will have another month to withdraw through the app.
radFi will stop offering Bitcoin Runes trading on January 11, 2027. Liquidity providers have until then to withdraw their share of the pools, according to the schedule reported by The Crypto Times. The team said it still believes in Bitcoin, Runes and Ordinals but no longer has the time to develop the platform.
What limits apply to the pools?
On November 11, radFi set limits on activity involving its liquidity pools, citing security. Users can provide liquidity or trade up to 0.01 BTC per transaction. The team also capped total BTC outflows at 0.05 BTC per day. The announcement leaves open whether each user or pool has a separate daily allowance or all users share one.

The Runes protocol lets people create and transfer tokens in Bitcoin transactions. Each unit of a given rune is interchangeable with any other unit of that rune. The closure affects one venue for trading those tokens.
According to its protocol overview, radFi runs an automated market maker that quotes swaps for Runes on the Bitcoin mainnet. A provider can choose a pair such as PUPS/BTC and supply assets for a particular price range. When traders swap within that range, the provider earns a share of the fees.
Pool withdrawals end a month before the app closes
| Date | Change to services |
|---|---|
| November 11, 2026 | Caps took effect for pool activity and BTC outflows. |
| January 11, 2027 | Runes trading and pool withdrawals end. Users will still be able to withdraw from trading wallets. |
| February 11, 2027 | The radFi app goes offline. radFi says NodeStrategy will offer trading wallet withdrawals on a separate site. |
Under radFi’s terms, a provider leaving a pool receives a share of its assets plus accrued fees. The pool’s holdings at withdrawal determine how much BTC and how many tokens the provider receives. The team did not say what would happen to pool positions still open on January 11.
In the liquidity provider guide, a user signs a Bitcoin transaction to add assets to a pool and sends the partially signed transaction, or PSBT, to radFi. The platform co-signs if the price quote still holds. If another trade has changed the price, the user needs a fresh quote. Providers pay Bitcoin network fees when they move assets and earn a share of fees when traders use the pool.
What happens to trading wallets after shutdown?
According to the trading wallet guide, the wallet initially requires two digital signatures. The user supplies one from a connected wallet and radFi supplies the other. After three months, users can withdraw without radFi’s signature, even if the platform is unavailable.
radFi sets the expiry date in advance for each wallet. The November announcement did not restart that period for everyone. The team has offered no assurance that a pool position left open in January can later be withdrawn through a trading wallet.
radFi said NodeStrategy would operate a separate site after February 11 to let users withdraw BTC and Runes from trading wallets. In a November 11 post, NodeStrategy said the radFi team had recently told it that Runes support would end. NodeStrategy relies on a custom fee arrangement with radFi and said it was considering its options. The radFi announcement did not include a web address or launch time for the withdrawal service.
SODAX interviewed radFi co-founder Scott on March 19, 2026. The chapter at 1:11 covers how radFi works. The team gave no shutdown date for Bound products or other SODAX services in November.
