Claimed CYPR can remain on-chain, but Cypher says the protocol, governance, rewards program and support behind the token will end.<\/p>\n<p>Self-custody wallet assets are separate from the card balance and remain under the user&#8217;s control. Cypher advises users to back up or export recovery credentials and verify access through a compatible alternative wallet before its app disappears.<\/p>\n<p>Cypher says stablecoins remain withdrawable through Sept. 6 and that eligible balances left behind may move to a linked self-custody wallet where possible. Its guidance provides no universal process for every unclaimed balance type, and Cypher has not specified the Sept. 6 cutoff&#8217;s exact time or timezone.
