To ensure a high-quality trading environment and uphold platform liquidity, OKX periodically reviews its listed tokens and may remove certain assets based on user feedback and internal guidelines. This article provides a detailed overview of the WEMIX delisting process, covering spot trading, margin trading, perpetual contracts, and savings products.
Understanding the WEMIX Delisting Decision
The decision to delist WEMIX was made in accordance with the platform’s token review guidelines, which consider factors such as trading volume, user activity, network stability, and project development. Such measures are taken to protect users from potential market risks and to maintain the overall integrity of the trading ecosystem.
Users holding WEMIX or engaged in related trading activities are advised to take necessary actions before the specified deadlines to avoid automatic closure of positions or forced repayment.
Key Dates and Affected Services
Spot Trading
Spot trading for WEMIX pairs ended on December 8, 2022, at 13:00 UTC. All open spot orders were automatically canceled at that time.
Margin Trading and Flexible Loans
Margin trading and flexible loan services for WEMIX were suspended in two phases:
- Borrowing功能 ceased at 9:00 AM UTC on the same day.
- Full delisting occurred at 10:00 AM UTC.
Users were required to repay outstanding borrowings before these times to prevent automatic repayment triggers. Isolated margin positions also became ineligible for further adjustment, and users were advised to close positions early to avoid liquidation.
Perpetual Contracts
The WEMIXUSDT perpetual swap contract was delisted at 9:00 AM UTC on December 8, 2022. All open positions were settled based on the arithmetic average of the OKX index price recorded one hour before delisting.
To mitigate risks associated with potential price volatility, OKX adjusted risk parameters—including price limits and discount rates—in the hours leading up to the delisting.
Savings Products
WEMIX savings subscriptions were suspended ahead of the delisting. All remaining savings balances were automatically redeemed and transferred to users' funding accounts.
Risk Management During Delisting
Delisting events can lead to unusual market behavior, including widened spreads and increased volatility. OKX implemented several protective measures to promote orderly market conditions:
- Price limit rules were adjusted in two stages to reduce extreme fluctuations.
- Discount rates for WEMIX collateral were reduced to zero, affecting cross-margin users.
- Users with large perpetual contract positions faced temporary transfer restrictions post-delisting to ensure settlement integrity.
Traders were strongly encouraged to reduce leverage exposure or close positions ahead of time to minimize potential losses.
