Additionally, OKX stopped accepting deposits for BLOCK, UTK, AST, SIS, WXT, and WIFI as of October 15, 2024. Users are advised to manage their assets carefully, as once the delisting process is completed, these tokens will appear under the “Unavailable Assets” section of their accounts. Withdrawal services for these tokens will remain available until January 24, 2025. After this date, it will no longer be possible to withdraw the delisted assets from the exchange.

What Should Investors Do?

For those holding investments in these delisted pairs, it’s crucial to manage their positions and withdraw funds before the deadline. Failure to do so will result in the assets being marked as “Unavailable” and not retrievable. OKX emphasizes that such decisions aim to maintain a healthy and secure trading environment on the platform.

The Bit Journal notes that delisting decisions like this often stem from liquidity issues or underperformance in the market. By removing these trading pairs, OKX is reinforcing its commitment to providing a strong, secure trading environment for its users.
