Delisting of 11 Perpetual Swap Contracts on 2 September

On 2 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, we will delist 11 perpetual swap contracts (please see the list below). The contracts will be settled early at 12:00 UTC on 2 September 2026 ( “T_settle”), according to the standard practice described in our Exchange Guide. 

The decision to delist these contracts has been made due to the decision to close the BitMEX exchange.

The timeline for the delisting process will be as follows:

The contracts will trade as normal until 04:00 UTC on 2 September 2026 (“T_start”).

At T_start 04:00 UTC on 2 September 2026:

• The Funding Rate, F₀,will be calculated as normal using prices from the previous eight  hours. 

• After T_start, the Funding Rate will no longer be calculated and the next Funding Rate set to 0.

• The relevant Contract Specification pages will display early settlement information.

At T_settle 12:00 UTC on 2 September 2026:

• The relevant contracts will expire, all trading will cease, and all open orders will be canceled. 

• Funding, calculated using F₀,will be exchanged (longs pay shorts if F₀ > 0 and shorts pay longs if F₀<0). 

• All open positions in the relevant contracts will be closed out using the relevant Settlement Prices. 

• No fees will be charged for settlement. 

• Once a contract has expired, the lifetime profit and loss of that contract will be added to the user’s Bitcoin balance for XBT margined contracts or Tether balance for USDT margined contracts, and this contract will no longer appear on the Positions section.
