OKX has scheduled the removal of six GODS, PRCL and DUCK spot trading pairs while suspending deposits for the affected tokens from Aug. 7 and setting Nov. 7 as the withdrawal deadline.
According to an OKX announcement, the exchange will remove three margin-settled spot pairs GODS/USD, PRCL/USD, and DUCK/USD, between 16:00 and 18:00 UTC on Aug. 14. Three additional spot pairs quoted in $USDT and EUR will follow three days later, with GODS/$USDT, PRCL/$USDT and DUCK/$USDT scheduled for delisting during the same two-hour window on Aug. 17.
The exchange has also introduced a phased timeline for the affected assets. Deposits for GODS, PRCL and DUCK stopped at 16:00 UTC on Aug. 7, while withdrawals for the three tokens will remain available until 16:00 UTC on Nov. 7.
OKX has split the trading pair removals across two dates
Rather than removing all markets at once, the exchange has divided the delisting into two stages.
On Aug. 14, users will lose access to GODS/USD, PRCL/USD and DUCK/USD trading pairs. Three days later, OKX will remove GODS/$USDT, PRCL/$USDT and PRCL/EUR alongside DUCK/$USDT, completing the process for all six spot markets listed in the notice.
At the same time, the exchange has already halted deposits for the related assets, preventing users from transferring additional GODS, PRCL or DUCK tokens onto the platform. Withdrawals remain available for another three months before closing in November, giving holders additional time to move their assets elsewhere.
The announcement did not state the reason for removing the trading pairs.
Deposit suspension starts before withdrawal deadline
The published timetable separates trading, deposits and withdrawals into different stages.
Deposit services for the affected cryptocurrencies ended first on Aug. 7. Trading activity will continue until the scheduled delisting windows in mid-August, after which the listed spot pairs will no longer be available.
Withdrawal support, however, will continue until Nov. 7, providing a longer period for customers who still hold the affected tokens after trading ends.
Crypto exchanges commonly separate delisting from withdrawal deadlines, allowing users to transfer assets after markets have been removed. In this case, OKX has provided nearly three months between the end of deposits and the final withdrawal cutoff.
OKX continues operational changes across multiple markets
The latest asset removals come during a period of operational updates across several regions.
Earlier in July, Digital Asset reported that the OKX Android application had returned to South Korea’s Google Play Store after a four-day suspension, making it the first recently restricted overseas crypto exchange to regain access on the platform. The restoration followed Google’s temporary removal of the app, while exchanges such as Bybit remained unavailable in the Korean Play Store.
Digital Asset had previously found that dozens of overseas exchange applications became inaccessible on Google Play as South Korea tightened oversight of overseas virtual asset service providers operating without local registration.
Although some exchanges had been identified by the country’s Financial Intelligence Unit as unreported VASPs, the publication reported that Google’s restrictions also affected several platforms that were not included on the FIU’s published enforcement list.
Outside South Korea, OKX has continued expanding regulated services in Europe. In July, the exchange launched a one-way $USDT-to-$USDC conversion service for eligible customers across 30 European Union and European Economic Area countries operating under its Markets in Crypto-Assets license.
The service allows users to deposit $USDT and voluntarily convert their holdings into MiCA-compliant $USDC as European exchanges reduce support for Tether’s stablecoin following the regulation’s implementation.
OKX has also expanded its institutional strategy
Operational changes have coincided with new corporate developments at the exchange.
Last month, OKX appointed former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to its board of directors after he had advised the company on U.S. regulatory and institutional strategy since 2023. According to the company, the appointment formalized an existing relationship as OKX continued expanding its U.S. operations following the relaunch of its U.S. exchange and self-custody wallet in 2025.
The company has also continued working with Intercontinental Exchange through a planned joint venture focused on blockchain-based financial products. According to OKX, Cuomo will remain co-chair of the initiative, which is intended to combine ICE’s market infrastructure with the exchange’s blockchain technology, subject to regulatory approvals.
