🚨 STORMGAIN HAS SHUT DOWN — January 13, 2025. StormGain permanently ceased operations on January 13, 2025, and migrated active user accounts to YouHodler. If you were an active user on that date, your funds were transferred to YouHodler — access your account at youhodler.com using your StormGain email + password reset. If your account was inactive before January 13, 2025, recovery options are limited. Contact: [email protected]. Do not attempt to deposit on StormGain — the platform no longer accepts deposits or new registrations.
StormGain — Shutdown Timeline
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| December 27, 2024 | StormGain announced migration to YouHodler via X/Twitter — ~2.5 weeks notice over holidays |
| January 13, 2025 | StormGain permanently shut down — all active user accounts and balances migrated to YouHodler |
| Post January 2025 | Website still exists but no new registrations, deposits, or trading — redirects to YouHodler info |
StormGain operated from 2019 to January 2025, attracting 5M+ users with features including 300x leverage futures, a free Bitcoin cloud mining app, and a Newcastle United shirt sponsorship. It was registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines — no Tier-1 regulation. The shutdown followed tightening MiCA and global regulations that made its offshore, high-leverage business model unsustainable.
What Happened to User Funds?
Active users on January 13, 2025 had account balances transferred to YouHodler. Access via youhodler.com using your StormGain email — you’ll need to reset your password. For inactive accounts or cloud mining balances below the 10 USDT threshold, recovery is unclear — StormGain never explicitly confirmed these were included in the transfer. Contact YouHodler support ([email protected]) for account access issues.
