Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has announced it will support the upcoming transformation of the EOS token as it rebrands to “Vaulta” with the ticker symbol “A”. This change represents a significant shift for the long-running blockchain project, with Bitget promising to handle all technical aspects of the swap to ensure a smooth transition for users.
The token swap will maintain a one-to-one ratio, meaning users will receive one Vaulta (A) token for each EOS token they currently hold. Bitget will manage the entire process automatically, requiring no action from users who hold EOS on the exchange.
According to the announcement from Bitget’s headquarters in Victoria, Seychelles, the transition will begin on May 26, 2025, at 3:30 AM UTC, when EOS deposits and withdrawals will be temporarily suspended. After the swap is completed, the new Vaulta (A) token will become available for deposits and withdrawals on May 28 at 7:00 AM UTC, with trading of the A/USDT pair launching an hour later at 8:00 AM UTC.
Users should be aware of several important dates as the exchange prepares for this transition:
- May 21 (3:00 AM UTC): Spot margin services for EOS/USDT will close, with open positions automatically settled
- May 23 (7:00 AM UTC): EOS will be removed from the Crypto Loan program, with all active loans automatically liquidated
- May 26 (3:00 AM UTC): EOS/USDT spot trading will end, and all active orders will be canceled
- May 26 (3:00 AM UTC): Trading bots using EOS/USDT will be halted, with assets returned to users
For users trading EOS in the derivatives markets, Bitget will begin disabling new positions for EOSUSDT futures contracts on May 20, with full settlement and delisting following on May 21. Any remaining EOS futures assets will be automatically transferred to users’ spot accounts if not withdrawn manually.
Bitget describes this transition as “a new chapter for EOS under the Vaulta identity,” suggesting the rebranding aims to enhance visibility for the token while streamlining its integration within the exchange’s trading ecosystem.
