Delisting Schedule and Key Dates

👉 Stay ahead of market changes and manage your portfolio with confidence.

1. Suspension of YFII Deposits

Effective: February 21, 2024, at 08:00 UTC
From this time onward, deposits of YFII tokens will no longer be supported. Users are strongly encouraged to complete any pending deposits before this deadline to avoid delays or disruptions.

2. Delisting of YFII Trading Pairs

Execution Window: February 29, 2024, between 08:00 and 08:30 UTC
During this period, the YFII/USDC and YFII/USDT trading pairs will be officially removed from the spot market. All open orders associated with these pairs must be canceled by users prior to delisting. If not canceled manually, the system will automatically cancel any remaining orders. Please note that order cancellation processing may take 1 to 3 business days.

3. Suspension of YFII Withdrawals

Effective: April 29, 2024, at 08:00 UTC
After this date, withdrawals of YFII tokens will no longer be available. Users should plan accordingly and manage their holdings before the withdrawal deadline.

Once delisting is complete, users can still view their remaining YFII balances under Assets > Funding > Non-tradable Assets in their OKX accounts.

Why Does OKX Delist Trading Pairs?

Delisting is a standard practice across regulated digital asset platforms and is essential for maintaining platform integrity. OKX continuously monitors listed tokens based on multiple criteria, including:

Tokens that fail to meet these benchmarks may be subject to delisting or hiding to protect users from low-liquidity, high-risk assets.

YFII (Yearn Finance Improvement) was initially created as a community-driven fork of Yearn.finance (YFI), aiming to decentralize governance and enhance yield farming strategies. However, due to declining market activity, reduced trading volume, and limited ecosystem development in recent periods, YFII no longer meets OKX’s active listing requirements.

What Should Users Do Now?

If you currently hold YFII or have open positions in the affected trading pairs, it's important to take timely action:

  1. Cancel Open Orders – Before February 29, 2024, ensure all open orders are manually canceled to avoid automatic system cancellation.
  2. Withdraw Funds if Needed – If you plan to trade or store YFII elsewhere, initiate withdrawals before April 29, 2024.
  3. Monitor Your Portfolio – Keep track of your non-tradable assets section post-delisting for accurate balance visibility.
