OKX announces the delisting of USDC-margined perpetual futures to enhance market liquidity and user experience, effective December 11, 2025.
In a move to bolster market liquidity and optimize user experience, OKX has declared its decision to delist several USDC-margined perpetual futures contracts. The exchange aims to streamline its offerings by discontinuing trading in these contracts by December 11, 2025, according to OKX.
Details of the Delisting
The specific contracts affected include BTCUSDC and ETHUSDC. Traders are advised to close any open positions in these futures and transition to USDⓈ-margined futures, where USDC can still be used as a settlement currency. To facilitate this transition, OKX has provided a FAQ on USD-margined futures.
Impact on Trading and Risk Management
OKX has outlined that trading bots will automatically close positions within the hour preceding the delisting. The exchange recommends manual closure to avoid potential fees or slippage. Additionally, the delivery of positions will occur at an arithmetic average price, calculated one hour before delisting, with the funding rate set to zero during this time to prevent additional charges.
In anticipation of possible market volatility, traders are encouraged to manage their leverage and consider closing positions early. Furthermore, if positions exceed $10,000 in value at delivery, asset transfers will temporarily be restricted for 30 minutes post-delisting.
Final Adjustments and Data Accessibility
To ensure a smooth transition, OKX will adjust its risk control parameters as necessary, depending on market conditions. Despite the delisting, traders will retain access to their order history and billing records, with options to download data via the OKX report center.
This strategic move by OKX is part of a broader effort to enhance trading efficiency and user satisfaction within its platform.
