Risk reminders:
The crypto project team has not yet confirmed the crypto issuance plan, and the total supply is uncertain. Changes in issuance volume may cause market price fluctuations. Users should stay informed about market conditions, exercise risk control, and trade cautiously.
Prices in the pre-market futures are determined by market behavior and may not accurately reflect the actual listing price of the new crypto.
The pre-market futures don’t guarantee that the crypto will eventually be listed on the spot trading. Refer to OKX announcements for specific listing details.
OKX may suspend such trading in pre-market conditions at any time and at its sole discretion. Please refer to Terms of Service and Risk & Compliance Disclosure for more details.
