OKX to Delist Several Spot Trading Pairs

·

Maintaining a healthy and efficient trading environment is a top priority for any leading digital asset platform. As part of this ongoing commitment, OKX regularly evaluates the performance and compliance of all listed spot trading pairs. Based on user feedback and in alignment with the OKX Token Delisting / Hiding Guideline, several trading pairs that no longer meet the platform’s listing standards will be delisted.

This strategic move ensures that only high-quality, liquid, and compliant assets remain available for trading, ultimately enhancing user experience and market integrity.

The following spot trading pairs will be removed from the platform in two phases:

Phase 1: October 27, 2023

The following pairs will be delisted between 8:00 am and 8:30 am UTC:

What Happens During Delisting?

At the specified delisting times, trading for the affected pairs will be disabled. Users are strongly advised to close or cancel any open orders related to these pairs before the delisting window. If orders remain active, the system will automatically cancel them, which may take 1 to 3 business days to process.

After delisting, these trading pairs will no longer appear in the spot market interface, and new orders cannot be placed.

Deposit and Withdrawal Updates

To ensure smooth asset management, OKX has implemented a phased approach for deposits and withdrawals of the underlying tokens.

Deposit Suspension

Deposits for the following tokens have already been suspended as of 8:00 am UTC on October 20, 2023:

If you hold these tokens, ensure your balances are properly managed before further restrictions take effect.

Withdrawal Suspension

Withdrawals for the same tokens — FODL, CHE, INT, PNK, and MXT — will be suspended starting 8:00 am UTC on December 30, 2023. After this date, users will no longer be able to withdraw these assets from the platform.

Once delisting is complete, affected assets will be categorized under Assets > Funding > Untradable assets, where users can still view their holdings.

Why Are These Changes Being Made?

OKX continuously monitors all listed assets to ensure they meet strict criteria related to:

Tokens that fall below these benchmarks may be subject to delisting or hiding to maintain platform quality and protect traders from low-liquidity or high-risk assets.

This proactive approach supports a safer, more transparent trading ecosystem and aligns with industry best practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What should I do if I have open orders on a delisted pair?

You should cancel any open orders before the delisting time. If not, the system will automatically cancel them, which may take 1–3 business days. It’s recommended to act early to avoid delays.

2. Can I still access my tokens after delisting?

Yes. After delisting, your tokens will remain in your account and can be viewed under Assets > Funding > Untradable assets. However, once withdrawal is suspended (e.g., December 30, 2023 for certain tokens), you will no longer be able to withdraw them.

3. Why were deposits suspended before delisting?

Suspending deposits early helps prevent last-minute inflows into low-liquidity or soon-to-be-delisted tokens, reducing potential confusion and ensuring a smoother transition.

4. Will I lose my funds if a token is delisted?

No. Delisting does not mean confiscation. Your assets remain in your wallet. However, you won’t be able to trade or withdraw them after specific deadlines. Always manage your holdings proactively.

5. How does OKX decide which tokens to delist?

Decisions are based on multiple factors including trading volume, liquidity, security audits, user feedback, and compliance with internal listing guidelines. The goal is to maintain a high-quality trading environment.

6. Can a delisted token be relisted in the future?

While possible, relisting depends on the token regaining sufficient market demand, liquidity, and compliance with current standards. There is no guaranteed timeline or process for relisting.
