Why are some of my assets on hold?
All SoFi members are subject to a withdrawal lock for the 48 hours after you complete your migration. You’re still able to trade, you just won’t be able to withdraw your assets from Blockchain.com.
If you made a fiat (USD) deposit to SoFi between 29th November 2023 and 19th December 2023, then a withdrawal lock is in place for 60 days starting from the date of deposit. Each deposit will have its own withdrawal lock. For example, a $5k deposit on 29th November 2023 will be on hold ‘til 28th January 2024, and a $1k deposit on 3rd December 2023 will be on hold ‘til February 1st 2024. While your assets are on hold, you are still able to trade them within Blockchain.com, but you will not be able to withdraw them from your account.
Deposits made directly into your Blockchain.com Account may also be subject to a shorter hold, of up to 7 days. Learn more here.
