OKX, the second-largest offshore exchange, has made a significant announcement regarding the delisting and suspension of several privacy tokens. Effective December 27, the exchange will delist the following tokens: FSN, ZKS, CAPO, CVP, XMR, DASH, ZEC, and ZEN, along with the corresponding trading pairs.

Delisting and Suspension of Privacy Tokens

As part of the measures, OKX has already suspended the deposits of the mentioned tokens starting from 8:00 am UTC on December 27, 2023. Users are urged to manage their assets promptly. Once the delisting process is completed, users can locate their assets under Assets > Funding > Untradable assets.

Furthermore, the exchange plans to suspend the withdrawal of the specified tokens starting from 8:00 am UTC on March 5, 2024. OKX has advised users to take timely action to manage their assets in light of these changes.

OKX disclosed its commitment to ensuring a resilient spot trading environment through continuous monitoring and periodic reviews of listed trading pairs. In alignment with user feedback and the OKX Token Delisting/Hiding Guideline, the exchange has decided to delist a number of trading pairs that fall short of its stringent listing criteria.

This proactive approach reflects OKX’s dedication to maintaining high standards and providing users with a trading environment that meets established criteria for quality and performance. The exchange said it remains focused on optimizing its offerings and fostering a secure and efficient spot trading experience for its users.
