The digital asset landscape is continuously evolving, and maintaining a high-quality trading environment requires constant evaluation and refinement. To ensure a secure, efficient, and user-focused marketplace, OKX regularly reviews the performance and compliance of all listed spot trading pairs. As part of this ongoing commitment, OKX has announced the upcoming delisting of several trading pairs that no longer meet its stringent listing criteria.
This decision is based on comprehensive performance analysis, market liquidity assessments, and valuable feedback from the global user community. Transparency and user protection remain top priorities, and this update aims to provide clear guidance on the changes ahead.
Affected Trading Pairs
The following spot trading pairs will be removed from the OKX platform:
- REN/USDT
- REN/USDC
- TAKI/USDT
- LEASH/USDT
- ORB/USDT
- KINE/USDT
These pairs will no longer be available for trading after the delisting process is completed. Users currently holding positions or open orders in these pairs are strongly advised to take necessary actions in advance.

Delisting Timeline and Key Deadlines
To ensure a smooth transition, OKX has established a clear timeline for each phase of the delisting process:
1. Suspension of Deposits
Deposits for the affected cryptocurrencies — REN, TAKI, LEASH, ORB, and KINE — were suspended starting 8:00 AM UTC on September 29, 2024. No further deposits of these assets will be accepted after this time.
2. Spot Trading Delisting
The official delisting of the trading pairs will occur between 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM UTC on October 8, 2024. All open orders related to these pairs will be automatically canceled by the system if not manually closed beforehand. Please note that order cancellations may take 1 to 3 business days to fully process.
3. Suspension of Withdrawals
Withdrawals for the same assets will be disabled starting 8:00 AM UTC on January 8, 2025. Users must withdraw their holdings before this date to avoid potential access issues. After this point, unwithdrawn assets may become permanently inaccessible.
Important: Once delisted, affected assets will be moved to the "Untradable Assets" section under Assets > Funding in your OKX account. This allows users to view their holdings even after trading functionality is removed.
Why Does Delisting Happen?
Cryptocurrency exchanges like OKX implement delisting policies to uphold market integrity and protect users. Assets may be delisted for several reasons, including:
- Low trading volume or liquidity
- Failure to meet technical or security standards
- Project inactivity or lack of development updates
- Regulatory or compliance concerns
- Community feedback and risk assessments
Delisting does not necessarily reflect negatively on the project itself but indicates that the asset no longer aligns with the exchange’s current quality benchmarks. It also helps streamline the trading experience by removing underperforming or high-risk pairs.
How to Prepare for Delisting
If you hold any of the affected assets or have open positions, here’s what you should do:
- Review Your Holdings: Log in to your OKX account and check your balance under both trading and funding wallets.
- Close Open Orders: Cancel any active orders before October 8, 2024, to avoid automatic cancellation.
- Withdraw Before Deadline: Plan to withdraw your REN, TAKI, LEASH, ORB, or KINE tokens before January 8, 2025.
- Transfer to Another Platform (Optional): If you wish to continue trading these assets, consider transferring them to a supported exchange before withdrawal suspension takes effect.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
