OKX to Discontinue Classic Account Trading Services on January 20: User Migration Guide

·

Dear Valued Users,

To streamline trading experiences and enhance system stability—verified across multiple extreme market conditions—OKX will discontinue Classic Account services on January 20, 2024, at 17:00 (HKT). This transition follows successful migrations by 99.5% of users to our upgraded Unified Account.

Key Actions for Classic Account Holders

  1. Immediate Steps (By January 14)

    • All pending spot orders (limit/strategic) in Classic Accounts will be canceled.
    • New spot orders in Classic Accounts will be disabled.
  2. Critical Deadlines (Before January 20)

    • Close Positions: Actively settle all open contracts (futures, perpetuals, options).
    • Repay Loans: Leverage users must repay borrowed funds.
    • System will cancel all pending orders (futures, spot, leverage) post-deadline.
  3. Post-Deadline Risks

    • Classic Account positions become non-actionable and face forced liquidation.
