Delisting of WAVES, JST, and RSR Coin-margined Swaps

Dear Valued Users,

HTX Futures will be delisting selected assets with relatively low liquidity and trading volumes from coin-margined swaps, in line with our Token Management Rules and to offer users a better trading experience.

HTX Futures will delist WAVES/USD swaps, JST/USD swaps, and RSR/USD swaps at 03:00 (UTC) on Dec 30, 2021. The platform will use the arithmetic average of their index prices in the last hour as the delivery price to close all open positions of these swaps. At that time, all open orders of these swaps will be canceled. If the index prices are abnormally manipulated an hour before the delisting, the platform may adjust the delivery price to a reasonable level based on the actual situation.

To ensure the successful delisting of these swaps, HTX Futures has adjusted the risk-control parameter settings as following:

Time

Risk Control Parameter Settings

03:00 (UTC) on Dec 29 (24 hours before the delivery)

The normal hard price limit range is ±6%, the non-basis price limit range is ±5%, basis price limit range is ±2.5%.

16:00 (UTC) on Dec 29 - 24:00 (UTC) on Dec 29

The funding rate of this period is calculated normally, and the upper and lower limit of funding rate for the next period is adjusted to 0%.

00:00 (UTC) on Dec 30 - 03:00 (UTC) on Dec 30

The funding rate of this period is 0%.

02:50 (UTC) on Dec 30 (10 minutes before the delivery)

The normal hard price limit range is ±1%, the non-basis price limit range is ±0.5%, basis price limit range is ±0.5%; Closing positions is allowed while opening positions is not.

On the current day of delisting, users with open positions will not be charged for funding at the delivery and will not have to pay delivery fees or others.

To avoid extreme price volatility before the delisting, please manage your risk by reducing leverages or closing positions in advance. If a forced liquidation order fails to be closed and causes over losses, the system will use insurance fund to compensate users first, and the part that the insurance fund unable to compensate will enter into the clawback mechanism. Each profitable account will be compensated based on the proportion of its profit.

After these swaps are delisted, they will be marked as “Suspended” and will not be shown on HTX Futures a week later. The assets in users’ corresponding coin-margined swaps account will not be affected. The order history, transaction history, and transaction records will also remain accessible after the delisting, and all historical data will be retained for a week. If you need to back up any records, please extract them in time on the corresponding pages of Trading Management on WEB.
