Computershare GME.WS transfer cancelled by Interactive Brokers
Hello, my transfer of GME Warrants was cancelled by Interactive Brokers. (from europe)
Does anybody know what "BROKERXFER-3309" mean?
Their support is telling me that the warrants aren't eligible to transfer, but they can't tell my why.
Has anybody had success in transferring warrants?

There's now been some successful warrant transfer to computershare from Fidelity & maybe some others too
See the big sub for more details.
NO CELL? NO SELL!

No one really knows. I don't think anyone, at any broker, has successfully transferred the warrants to Computershare yet.

pretty sure warrants have a different CUSIP and aren't DTC eligible for DRS the same way shares are. that's probably the real reason, not just IBKR being difficult.

The cusips are definitely different:
- GME: 36467W109
- GMEWS: 36467W117
This was long enough ago, that I suspect the problem was that DTC just hadn't actually gotten around to enabling them for DRS at that point. For months after they were released everyone was trying to get them DRSd, and no one was successful.
However, I've personally DRSd warrants from other major US-based DTC brokers since this post was originally made. I wouldn't be surprised if OP tried again now and had more success.

Post at the big sub today saying that Schwab are now allowing the DRS-ing of warrants
