OKX Wallet is ending its support for SRC-20 on Aug. 6, a scheduled change that separates the continued existence of the assets from the wallet interface used to view them. In its July 23 notice, OKX said the wallet will no longer recognize SRC-20 assets once the SRC-20 wallet is deactivated.
The same notice makes the other half of the change explicit: the assets will remain on the blockchain, and users can continue to access them through another wallet that supports SRC-20. That is not a promise that every alternative wallet will display or move every asset. It is a narrower statement about the difference between a recorded asset and a software product that knows how to interpret it.
A wallet change is not a ledger change
SRC-20 is a fungible-token standard built around Bitcoin Stamps. The protocol documentation says the current specification writes the token instructions into Bitcoin transactions and relies on an indexer to identify valid deploy, mint and transfer records. A wallet therefore needs more than ordinary Bitcoin address support: it needs the right transaction rules, indexing logic and user interface to make those records legible.
When OKX removes that recognition layer, the immediate risk is operational rather than a chain-wide deletion. A user may still have an onchain record while losing the familiar place to inspect it. The practical task is to confirm which wallet supports the relevant SRC-20 format, understand how it handles Bitcoin UTXOs and verify the destination before moving anything.
The notice leaves the migration path open
OKX's announcement does not provide an asset-by-asset migration list, a replacement wallet, a post-change support channel or a guarantee that another product will offer the same controls. That omission matters because compatibility is not a single yes-or-no label: a wallet may index balances but not support transfers, or support transfers while presenting different UTXO choices and fees.
The broader lesson is familiar across digital assets. Infrastructure can withdraw a viewing or transaction layer without rewriting the underlying network. Users who treat a wallet's interface as the asset itself can mistake a product decision for a protocol event. The safer reading of OKX's notice is simple: the record may persist, but access now depends on finding and validating a different tool.
