OKX will delist several margin trading pairs and perpetual contracts

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

OKX will delist these perpetual swaps and terminate the relevant trades. Relevant orders on the order book will also be canceled after the delisting.

OKX will deliver all the IOTAUSD / ONTUSD / IOSTUSD / QTUMUSD / XTZUSD / KNCUSD / YFIIUSD / XEMUSDT / UMEEUSDT / ELONUSDT / YFIIUSDT / BABYDOGEUSDT perpetual swaps positions at the arithmetic average price of the corresponding OKX index timed at 1 hour prior to 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 the funding fees for this period will not be included in the billing record.

Within the first 30 minutes after the delisting, if you hold positions greater than 10,000 USD in value in IOTAUSD / ONTUSD / IOSTUSD / QTUMUSD / XTZUSD / KNCUSD / YFIIUSD / XEMUSDT / UMEEUSDT / ELONUSDT / YFIIUSDT / BABYDOGEUSDT perpetual contracts 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 billings records will still be available after the delisting. If you need to backup your data, you may download it via Report Center on OKX web.

In order to ensure successful delivery of IOTAUSD / ONTUSD / IOSTUSD / QTUMUSD / XTZUSD / KNCUSD / YFIIUSD / XEMUSDT / UMEEUSDT / ELONUSDT / YFIIUSDT / BABYDOGEUSDT perpetual swaps during the delisting, the following adjustments are made to our risk control parameters:

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 a certain discount rate in order to balance market risks.
