OKX, as a leading digital asset trading platform, is committed to providing users with a secure and healthy trading environment. To protect user interests and promote the sustainable development of the blockchain industry, the platform actively monitors listed tokens. Tokens that fail to maintain operational integrity or pose security risks may face warnings, temporary delisting, or permanent trading pair removal. Delisted tokens will no longer appear in spot market listings or percentage change rankings, though trading can continue if users manually search for the token.
