What are untradable assets?

Untradable assets are crypto that OKX doesn't support, and can't be traded. To learn more about how to withdraw your untradable assets, see What should I do if I accidentally deposit crypto that OKX does not support?

However, to improve our user experience, we support untradable asset withdrawals.

Note: There's no collaboration of any kind between OKX and any service provider for untradable assets that OKX hasn't supported. OKX shall not be responsible for any issue that may arise in relation to your untradable assets, and you should carefully manage such assets to avoid any losses.

Types of untradable assets

  • Crypto that OKX doesn't support

  • Crypto sent to networks that OKX doesn’t support

  • Crypto that has been or will be delisted from OKX

  • Airdrop crypto

Here are the details of these 4 types of untradable assets:

1. Crypto that OKX doesn’t support

OKX currently supports over 300 crypto, but there are still some crypto that OKX doesn’t support. You can always check the supported crypto on the Deposit page to confirm availability.

2. Crypto sent to networks that OKX doesn’t support

Each crypto can issue tokens on different networks. However, it's possible that OKX only supports some crypto networks. If you send crypto to OKX via unsupported networks, you won’t be able to use and trade the assets in OKX. We currently do not support USDT on the BSC network. If you deposit USDT to OKX via BSC, the crypto will become untradable assets.

3. Crypto that'll be delisted from OKX

Crypto that'll be delisted from OKX refers to the crypto that OKX has ceased trading, but is still available for withdrawal. Once OKX ceases trading on a crypto, deposits of the crypto will be paused as well.

To maintain a healthy cryptocurrency ecosystem and enhance project liquidity, OKX continuously monitors listed cryptocurrencies, trading pairs, and futures. Based on market performance, user feedback, and potential risks, OKX may delist certain cryptocurrencies, trading pairs, or futures.

4. Airdrop crypto

For the airdrop crypto that don’t support trading, you can’t trade these crypto in OKX.
