Maintaining a secure, efficient, and high-performing trading environment is a top priority for any leading digital asset exchange. As part of this ongoing commitment, OKX regularly evaluates the performance and compliance status of all listed tokens. Based on user feedback and in alignment with the OKX Token Delisting / Hiding Guideline, several spot trading pairs are being removed from the platform due to failure to meet current listing standards.
This proactive measure ensures that only high-quality, actively traded, and compliant digital assets remain available to users—supporting market integrity and long-term trust in the ecosystem.
Affected Trading Pairs
The following spot trading pairs will be delisted:
- BTG/BTC
- BTG/USDT
- CHAT/USDT
- CVT/USDT
- DEVT/USDT
- PAY/USDT
- PPT/USDT
- ROAD/USDT
- SFG/USDT
- SOC/USDT
- SOC/USDC

These pairs involve the tokens BTG (Bitcoin Gold), CHAT (ChatGPT Token), CVT (Civic), DEVT (DeviantCoin), PAY (TenX), PPT (Present Pay Token), ROAD (Roadcoin), SFG (SafeGold), SOC (Soda Coin), and CNTM (Coinmet). While some of these projects once showed promise, evolving market dynamics and performance benchmarks have led to their removal.

Delisting Timeline
The delisting process will occur in two key phases:
1. Suspension of Deposits
Starting at 2:00 PM UTC on March 22, 2023, deposits for the affected tokens will no longer be supported. This means users cannot transfer these assets into their OKX funding accounts after this time. Deposits will not be reinstated in the future.
2. Removal of Trading Pairs
Trading for the listed pairs will be terminated between 8:00 AM and 8:15 AM UTC on March 29, 2023. Users are strongly advised to cancel any open orders related to these pairs before this window. Any remaining orders will be automatically canceled by the system.
After cancellation, it may take 1–3 business days for users to see updated balances. Affected assets will be moved to the Untradable Assets Account, which can be accessed via:
Assets > My Assets > Funding > Untradable Assets Account
It’s essential to review your portfolio ahead of such changes to avoid delays or unintended consequences.
Why Tokens Get Delisted
Token delisting is a standard practice across reputable exchanges and serves multiple purposes:
- Low liquidity or trading volume – Tokens that see minimal trading activity can create inefficiencies and poor price discovery.
- Project inactivity or abandonment – If a project team stops development or communication, it poses risks to investors.
- Failure to meet technical or security standards – Projects must maintain robust infrastructure and transparency.
- Community feedback – User reports and sentiment play a role in evaluating token health.
- Regulatory or compliance concerns – Even potential risks in these areas can trigger a review.
OKX’s approach ensures that only viable, transparent, and user-valued projects remain on the platform.

What Users Should Do Now
If you hold any of the affected tokens or have active orders, take the following steps immediately:
- Cancel open orders – Avoid automatic cancellation by manually closing positions before March 29.
- Withdraw assets if needed – If you wish to retain these tokens, withdraw them to a personal wallet or another exchange that supports them—before deposits are suspended.
- Check untradable assets section – After delisting, verify your balance under the designated account tab.
- Stay informed – Follow official announcements to keep up with future updates.
Note: Once a token is delisted, it may not be relisted, and support for withdrawals could be limited in the long term.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I still withdraw my delisted tokens after March 29?
