Digital asset trading platforms play a crucial role in shaping a healthy and sustainable blockchain ecosystem. As part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring optimal liquidity, user safety, and a superior trading experience, OKX regularly reviews its listed trading pairs based on comprehensive market analysis, risk assessment, and community feedback.
In line with this responsibility, OKX has decided to delist several spot trading pairs that no longer meet our listing criteria or pose potential risks to users. This proactive measure reflects our dedication to maintaining platform integrity and protecting user interests.
Affected Trading Pairs
The following trading pairs will be removed from the platform:
- STARL/USDT
- XEC/USDT
- MANA/BTC
These pairs have been identified through rigorous monitoring by our risk management team. Factors such as declining trading volume, insufficient market depth, regulatory considerations, and user-reported concerns contributed to this decision.
Delisting Timeline
To ensure a smooth transition for all users, OKX has established a clear timeline for each phase of the delisting process:
🕒 Trading Suspension
Date: June 6, 2024, 4:00 PM – 4:30 PM (UTC+8)
Trading for the affected pairs will be disabled during this window. Users with open orders are strongly advised to cancel them before 4:00 PM (UTC+8). Any remaining orders will be automatically canceled by the system. Please note that order cancellation processing may take 1 to 3 business days.
👉 Stay ahead of market changes — monitor your portfolio with real-time alerts.
💸 Deposit Suspension
Effective Date: May 29, 2024, 4:00 PM (UTC+8)
Deposits for STARL and XEC have already been suspended. The platform will no longer accept deposits for these assets. If you hold any of these tokens, please take appropriate action promptly.
After delisting, affected assets can be viewed under:
Assets > Funding Account > Non-tradable Assets
🚀 Withdrawal Deadline
Final Withdrawal Time: August 6, 2024, 4:00 PM (UTC+8)
Users must withdraw their STARL and XEC holdings before this deadline. After this time, withdrawal support will be permanently discontinued. Failure to act may result in irreversible loss of access to these assets.
Why Do Trading Pairs Get Delisted?
Delisting is not a decision taken lightly. It is part of OKX’s broader strategy to uphold high standards across its product offerings. Common reasons include:
- Low liquidity or trading volume, which can lead to price manipulation and slippage.
- Project inactivity or lack of development progress, indicating potential abandonment.
- Security vulnerabilities or smart contract risks discovered post-listing.
- Regulatory compliance requirements in evolving global markets.
- User complaints or negative sentiment regarding project transparency.
By removing underperforming or high-risk pairs, we enhance overall market quality and protect traders from undue exposure.
What Should You Do Now?
If you’re currently holding any of the affected assets or have open positions, here’s what you should do:
- Review Your Holdings: Check your wallet and trading accounts for STARL, XEC, or MANA balances.
- Close Open Orders: Cancel any outstanding trades before the suspension time.
- Plan Your Exit Strategy: Decide whether to sell your holdings before delisting or transfer them to another supported wallet or exchange.
- Withdraw Before Deadline: Ensure you withdraw STARL and XEC before August 6, 2024.
Remember: Once a token is delisted and withdrawal support ends, recovering funds becomes impossible through OKX.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
❓ Why was my favorite trading pair delisted?
OKX delists trading pairs based on strict risk management policies. Even popular tokens may be removed if they fail to maintain sufficient liquidity, show signs of project stagnation, or present compliance concerns. Our goal is long-term user protection, not short-term popularity.
❓ Can I still withdraw STARL and XEC after delisting?
Yes — but only until August 6, 2024, 4:00 PM (UTC+8). After that date, withdrawal functionality will be permanently disabled. You’ll retain ownership of your assets, but you won’t be able to move them via OKX.
❓ Where can I see my non-tradable assets?
Go to Assets > Funding Account > Non-tradable Assets in your OKX account. This section displays tokens that are no longer tradable but still present in your wallet.
❓ Will these tokens ever be re-listed?
Re-listing is possible only if the projects demonstrate significant improvements in transparency, activity, and compliance — and pass our full review process. There is no guarantee of re-listing.
❓ What happens to my open orders after the cutoff time?
All unexecuted orders will be automatically canceled by the system during the delisting window. You’ll receive a notification once the cancellation is complete.
