OKX to delist several margin trading pairs and perpetual futures

In order to improve market liquidity and improve the overall user experience, OKX will delist several margin trading pairs and perpetual futures. The details are as follows：

1. Perpetual futures trading

OKX will delist the above perpetual futures and terminate the relevant trades. Relevant orders in the order book will also be canceled after the delisting. Trading bots will gradually close within 1 hour before futures delisting. If you’re concerned about fees or slippage from automatic closures, we recommend stopping them manually.

OKX will deliver the relevant perpetual future positions at the arithmetic average price of the corresponding OKX index timed 1 hour before the delisting. If the index price displays abnormalities in the hour preceding the delisting, OKX may adjust the final delivery price to a reasonable level for delivery.

The current funding rate at 8:00 am UTC on the day of delisting will be 0. Thus, funding fees for this period will not be included in the billing record.

Considering that the market may fluctuate sharply before the delisting, please manage your risk level by reducing the actual leverage multiples or closing positions in advance.

Within the first 30 minutes after the delisting, if you hold positions greater than 10,000 USD in value in the relevant perpetual future at the time of delivery, you will be restricted from transferring assets out of your trading account.

Asset transfers will return to normal after 30 minutes. Order history and billing records will still be available after the delisting. If you need to back up your data, you may download it through the report center on the OKX website.

In order to ensure the successful delivery of the relevant perpetual future during the delisting, the following adjustments are made to our risk control parameters:

• Adjustment of price limit rules

If there is a deviation from the contract price before then, the price limit will be adjusted according to market conditions.

2. Margin trading

OKX will suspend margin trading and flexible loan at the delisting times listed above and open orders for margin will be canceled. Each crypto pair will take around 2 hours to suspend. Users with borrowings or collateral of the above crypto pair in margin trading and flexible loans should make sure to repay before the delisting times. A forced payment will be triggered if unpaid borrowings remain due by the delisting time.

Please note: Prices may experience extreme fluctuations. To avoid losses caused by forced repayment, we recommend you stop trading the pair listed above and close all underlying positions in advance.


3. Adjustment of discount

Before: please refer to Discount rates page

Discount rates overview

In multi-currency cross margin mode, different currencies in cross margin accounts can be converted into their USD value and used as margin. Due to significant differences in market liquidity of each currency, our platform calculates the actual USD value of certain crypto based on certain discount rates to balance market risks.

Risk Warning: Due to market volatility, we will gradually reduce the discount rate to 0 for the above mentioned tokens. During this period, the maintenance margin rate for users using the above tokens as collateral may increase. To prevent forced liquidation due to such discount adjustments, we advise users to manage risk in a timely manner by closing positions, reducing positions, or adding margin.

4. Simple Earn and Flexible Loan

With the delisting of USTC, these crypto will no longer be unavailable for Simple Earn and Flexible Loan. If you have existing orders for these two products, take note of the following.
For existing Simple Earn orders:Your orders will be automatically redeemed after the delisting of the affected crypto. Your principal and earnings will be distributed to your funding account. No further action is needed.

For existing Flexible Loan orders:

Repay any outstanding loans for the affected crypto before delisting. If you fail to do so, forced repayment will be implemented to settle any outstanding loans.

If you're using the affected crypto as collateral, the delisted crypto's discount rate will be changed to 0, please adjust your collateral to maintain a safe Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio.
