Key Dates:
- Deposit Suspension: Deposits for the above tokens were halted on March 22, 2023, at 22:00 HKT. These deposit functions will not be reopened.
- Delisting Execution Window: The official delisting will take place between March 29, 2023, 16:00–16:15 HKT.

After delisting, affected assets will be classified as non-tradable and can still be accessed under:
Asset Management → My Assets → Funding Account → Non-tradable Assets
Withdrawals for these tokens may still be supported for a limited time—users are advised to check the platform for specific withdrawal deadlines and procedures.
Why Does OKX Delist Tokens?
Delisting is not a reflection of a token’s past performance alone but a strategic measure based on multiple evaluation criteria. OKX conducts regular assessments of all listed projects to ensure they meet evolving standards in:
- Market Liquidity: Low trading volume or poor order book depth can hinder fair price discovery and increase slippage.
- Project Development Activity: Projects that show no recent progress, abandoned roadmaps, or inactive development teams pose higher risks.
- Community and User Feedback: Repeated user complaints, lack of transparency, or poor customer support are taken seriously.
- Regulatory and Compliance Risks: Assets that may violate regional regulations or fail KYC/AML standards are reviewed closely.
- Security Concerns: Tokens with vulnerabilities, suspicious transaction patterns, or past security incidents may be flagged.
When a project fails to meet minimum thresholds across these areas, OKX reserves the right to delist it to protect investors and maintain platform health.
What Should Users Do Now?
If you hold any of the affected tokens or have open positions, here’s what you should do immediately:
- Cancel Open Orders: Before the deadline (March 29, 16:00 HKT), ensure all pending trades are canceled manually.
- Review Your Holdings: Go to your funding account and identify how much of each delisted token you own.
- Plan Withdrawals or Swaps: If withdrawals are still active, consider transferring tokens to a personal wallet or another platform that supports them.
- Stay Informed: Monitor official OKX announcements for any updates regarding withdrawal timelines or future actions related to these assets.

- Understand the fundamentals of any project you invest in
- Assess your personal risk tolerance
- Diversify your portfolio
- Only invest what you can afford to lose
