In a strategic move to optimize liquidity and uphold stringent listing criteria, global cryptocurrency exchange OKX has delisted several spot trading pairs, including the XRP-OKB pair that had a weekly turnover of 46,589 XRP. This was part of a broader strategy observed by crypto journalist Colin Wu, who noted that despite the delisting of a total of 16 trading pairs, OKX continues to hold its position as the world's second-largest crypto exchange.
As part of this optimization process, OKX's native coin, OKB, which offers discounts for holders, remains significant despite the delisting. The removal of these pairs does not entirely eliminate XRP from the platform; it continues to be available on OKX through four other pairs with USDT, USDC, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
Following this strategic delisting, OKX still boasts assets totaling $11.32 billion. This places it firmly in the second position globally among crypto exchanges, surpassed only by Binance in the global ranking.
