The affected pairs include CATI/USDT, NMR/USDT, ICX/USDT, DGB/USDT, MEME/USDT, JST/USDT, and RVN/USDT.

According to the company, the decision is part of an ongoing effort to streamline liquidity and protect users from the risks of thinly traded markets.

Focus on Liquidity and Security

All margin trading and related borrowing services linked to these pairs will be shut down, and any existing open orders will be automatically canceled. OKX stressed that traders who hold positions in these markets should close them ahead of the suspension date to avoid unnecessary risks.

Crypto exchanges often prune low-volume assets to keep markets efficient, and OKX’s move follows this industry-wide practice. With volatility picking up across the broader crypto sector, exchanges are becoming more cautious about which assets remain available for leveraged trading.

Impact on Traders

For some users, the change could mean rethinking their margin strategies. While the pairs being removed were not among the most popular, their removal highlights how quickly trading options can shift in response to liquidity concerns. Ultimately, OKX says the adjustments are designed to provide a safer and more reliable environment for its customers.
