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 perpetual futures and margin trading pairs. The details are as follows：
- Perpetual futures trading
Perpetual futures Delisting time GALUSDT July 15, 2024, 8:00 ~ 9:00 am UTC CELUSDT July 15, 2024, 8:00 ~ 9:00 am UTC OMGUSDT July 15, 2024, 8:00 ~ 9:00 am UTC SPELLUSDT July 15, 2024, 8:00 ~ 9:00 am UTC KSMUSD July 15, 2024, 8:00 ~ 9:00 am UTC
OKX will delist these perpetual futures and terminate the relevant trades. Relevant orders in the order book will also be canceled after the delisting.
OKX will deliver all the above-mentioned perpetual futures 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 above-mentioned 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 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 above-mentioned perpetual futures during the delisting, the following adjustments are made to our risk control parameters:
- Adjustment of price limit rules
How the limit price is calculated:Period Highest price limit Lowest price limit Within 10 minutes of contract generation Index × (1 + X) Index × (1 – X) 10 minutes after contract generation Min[Max(Index, Index × (1 + Y) + Average premium over the 10 minutes), Index × (1 + Z)] Max[Min(Index, Index × (1 – Y) + Average premium over the past 10 minutes), Index × (1 – Z)]
Adjusted price limit rules:
| Time | X | Y | Z |
|---|---|---|---|
| 48 hours before delivery | 2% | 2% | 5% |

Users with borrowings or collateral of the above crypto pairs 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 pairs listed above and close all underlying positions in advance.
In order to ensure the successful delisting of the above-mentioned margin trading pairs, the following adjustments are made to our trading 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 certain discount rates to balance market risks.
