Abstract generation in progress

Starting February 6, 2026, multiple margin trading pairs were delisted from the main cryptocurrency exchange. Among those affected are COTI, along with KNC, BAT, DUSK, RLC, GRT, GLM, and KAVA in the cross-margin category. The action aims to reorganize the available derivatives instruments on the platform.

Complete list of removed pairs and categories

The delisting covered two types of secured lending. In the cross-margin segment, eight pairs denominated in BTC and GRT/ETH were removed. Specifically, COTI/BTC was included in this list along with KNC/BTC, BAT/BTC, DUSK/BTC, RLC/BTC, GRT/ETH, GLM/BTC, and KAVA/BTC.

For isolated margin, the number of affected pairs was higher. In addition to those previously mentioned, JST/BTC, CTK/BTC, and an additional COTI/BTC pair were added. This type of financing, which isolates risk in individual trades, was particularly impacted by the measure.

Implementation schedule and restrictions

The delisting process was carried out in phases. From the time of the announcement, users were prevented from transferring funds from the affected pairs to their isolated margin accounts via automatic or manual methods. Those with outstanding debts in COTI or other involved tokens could only transfer balances equivalent to their pending liabilities.

On February 4, at 06:00 UTC, the platform suspended all margin loan origination for these instruments. Two days later, the process concluded with automatic position closures, forced liquidations, and cancellation of pending orders.

Alternatives and recommended measures for users

Holders of COTI and other affected assets had options to mitigate potential losses. The main recommendation was to voluntarily close positions before the deadline and transfer balances to spot wallets, thus avoiding automatic liquidations.

The delisting period lasted approximately three hours, during which positions could not be modified. Although the margin pairs were removed, users retained the ability to trade these assets in other available instruments on the platform. COTI and its alternative pairs continued to operate in regular trading segments, allowing investors to participate in the market with different leverage structures.
