Digital asset platforms must continuously evolve to maintain a healthy, efficient, and user-focused trading environment. As part of this ongoing commitment, OKX regularly reviews the performance and listing qualifications of all available trading pairs. Based on user feedback and internal evaluation criteria, OKX has decided to delist several spot trading pairs that no longer meet its standards for liquidity, activity, and long-term sustainability.
This strategic move ensures that only the most viable and in-demand assets remain accessible on the platform, enhancing overall trading quality and user experience.

Affected Trading Pairs
The following spot trading pairs will be removed from the OKX platform:
- FITFI/USDT
- GARI/USDT
- XPR/USDT
- AKITA/USDT
- TAMA/USDT
- WNCG/USDT
These pairs have been identified for delisting due to consistently low trading volume, limited market interest, or failure to meet OKX’s minimum listing requirements over an extended period.
Delisting Timeline and Key Dates
OKX has established a clear schedule to ensure users have sufficient time to manage their positions and assets:
Deposit Suspension
Deposits for the affected cryptocurrencies — FITFI, GARI, XPR, AKITA, TAMA, and WNCG — were suspended starting 08:00 UTC on August 22, 2024. After this time, no new deposits of these tokens will be accepted.
Trading Termination
Trading for all listed pairs will be discontinued between 08:00 and 08:30 UTC on August 30, 2024. Users are strongly advised to close or adjust any open orders related to these pairs before this window. Any remaining orders will be automatically canceled by the system.
Withdrawal Deadline
Withdrawals for the delisted tokens will remain available until 08:00 UTC on November 30, 2024. After this date, withdrawal functionality for these assets will be permanently disabled. Users must withdraw their holdings before the cutoff to avoid permanent loss of access.
Post-Delisting Asset Management
Once delisting is complete, affected assets will appear under the Assets > Funding > Non-tradable Assets section of your account. This allows you to monitor your balance and plan withdrawals accordingly.
Why Does Delisting Happen?
Cryptocurrency exchanges like OKX implement delisting policies to uphold platform integrity. Over time, some digital assets fail to sustain community interest, developer activity, or market liquidity. Keeping such tokens listed can clutter the interface, confuse new traders, and expose users to higher risks due to price manipulation or sudden illiquidity.
Delisting helps streamline the trading experience and ensures that only robust, active projects remain available.
Common reasons for delisting include:
- Low trading volume over multiple months
- Lack of project development or transparency
- Security vulnerabilities or smart contract issues
- Regulatory concerns or non-compliance
- Poor user demand or negative community sentiment
By proactively managing its asset list, OKX protects traders and maintains a high standard of service.

What Should Users Do Now?
If you hold any of the affected tokens or have open positions, immediate action is recommended:
- Review Your Holdings: Check your wallet balance for FITFI, GARI, XPR, AKITA, TAMA, or WNCG.
- Close Open Orders: Cancel any active trades involving these pairs before August 30.
- Plan Withdrawals: If you wish to retain these assets, withdraw them before November 30, 2024.
- Explore Alternatives: Consider reallocating funds to more liquid and actively traded assets on OKX.
Failure to act may result in automatic order cancellations and eventual loss of withdrawal capability.
