Cryptocurrency exchange OKX has announced the delisting of a number of pairs, including key privacy tokens, in order to maintain a robust spot trading environment.
"Based on user feedback and the OKX Token Delisting / Hiding Guidelines, we will delist several trading pairs that do not meet our listing criteria," the cryptocurrency exchange said in a message.
According to information published on the OKX website, the following pairs will be removed from the list of available assets on January 4, 2024, between 8:00 and 8:30 UTC: KSM-USDC, FLOW-USDC, JST-USDC, KNC-USDC, ANT-USDC, FSN-USDT, ZKS-USDT, CAPO-USDT, and CVP-USDT.
Also in January 2024, 11 more pairs will be removed between 8:00 and 8:30 UTC: XMR-BTC, XMR-ETH, XMR-USDT, XMR-USDC, DASH-BTC, DASH-USDT, ZEC-BTC, ZEC-USDT, ZEC-USDC, ZEN-BTC, and ZEN-USDT.
OKX strongly recommends that its clients cancel all open orders on these tokens before the specified date. All remaining open orders will be automatically canceled by the system. Cancellations may take 1-3 business days.
In addition, OKX suspended deposits for certain privacy-related coins, including XMR, DASH, ZEC, and ZEN, on December 27. OKX will also suspend withdrawals for FSN, ZKS, CAPO, CVP, XMR, DASH, ZEC, and ZEN beginning March 5, 2024.
Once the delisting is complete, users will be able to find their tokens under Assets > Funding > Untradable assets.
The exchange said it will continue to monitor all listed trading pairs and will implement a delisting/hiding mechanism if necessary.
