Understanding which cryptocurrencies are being delisted from exchanges is crucial for traders and investors. This guide covers recent delistings on OKX, explaining the process and implications for affected assets.
Why Do Exchanges Delist Cryptocurrencies?
Exchanges regularly review their listed assets based on several factors:

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would OKX delist a cryptocurrency?
Exchanges delist tokens due to low liquidity, regulatory concerns, security issues, or lack of project development. Regular reviews ensure market quality.
How much notice do users get before delisting?
OKX typically provides 1-2 weeks notice before suspending trading, followed by a withdrawal period of 1-2 months.
Can delisted tokens be relisted?
Yes, if the project addresses the issues that caused delisting. However, relisting requires a new application and review process.
Where can I trade delisted tokens?
Some delisted tokens remain available on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) or smaller centralized platforms, though liquidity may be lower.
How does delisting affect token value?
Most tokens experience significant price drops after delisting announcements as traders exit positions. Some may recover if relisted elsewhere.
Should I sell before delisting?
This depends on your risk tolerance and the token's prospects. Many traders exit positions upon announcement to avoid withdrawal complications.
