Frequently Asked Questions
What does a new spot listing mean for me?
A new spot listing means a new cryptocurrency is available for you to buy, sell, and trade directly on the platform. It expands your investment options and allows you to gain exposure to emerging projects at an early stage.
Why are some trading pairs delisted?
Trading pairs are typically delisted due to factors like low liquidity, lack of project development, or a failure to meet the platform's continued listing standards. This helps maintain a healthy and trustworthy market for all users.
What is a token migration and do I need to do anything?
A token migration is when a project moves its tokens from one blockchain network to another or updates its contract. The platform usually supports this process automatically, but it’s always wise to check official announcements for any required actions on your part. 👉 Learn more about managing token migrations
How can I use the Mini Wallet in Telegram?
After the update, you can connect your OKX Mini Wallet to Telegram. This allows you to interact directly with DApps that are built on or integrated with the Telegram platform without switching between apps.
What are pre-market futures?
Pre-market futures are contracts that allow trading of an asset before its official spot market listing. They help establish an initial price and provide early trading opportunities, though they often carry higher risk due to volatility.
How do I know if I'm eligible for an airdrop?
Airdrop eligibility is usually based on specific criteria set by the project, such as holding a certain token or being an active user before a snapshot date. The platform will announce details for any supported airdrops, and you can often check your eligibility directly in your account. 👉 Explore ways to discover new airdrop opportunities
