Delisting 8 FX Perpetual Swap Contracts

BitMEX


On 14 December 2022 at 12:00 UTC, we will delist 8 FX perpetual swap contracts, namely:

  • EURUSD
  • EURUSDT
  • USDTBRL
  • USDTINR
  • USDTMXN
  • USDTSEK
  • USDTTRY
  • USDTZAR

The contracts will be settled early at 12:00 UTC on 14 December 2022 ( “Tsettle”) according to the standard practice described in our Exchange Guide.

The decision to delist these contracts has been made due to insufficient trading interest in these contracts. The 8 most liquid FX perpetuals contracts will remain listed.

The timeline for the delisting process will be as follows:

The contracts will trade as normal until 04:00 UTC on 14 December 2022 (“Tstart”)

At Tstart 04:00 UTC on 14 December 2022:

  • The Funding Rate, F0, will be calculated as normal using prices from the previous eight  hours  
  • After Tstart, the Funding Rate will no longer be calculated and the next Funding Rate set to 0
  • Our Contract Specification pages will display early settlement information

At Tsettle 12:00 UTC on 14 December 2022:

  • The 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 will be closed out using the below indices as the Settlement Prices:

.BEURUSD30M
.BEURUSDT30M
.BUSDTBRL30M
.BUSDTINR30M
.BUSDTMXN30M
.BUSDTSEK30M
.BUSDTTRY30M

  • No fees will be charged for settlement
  • Once a contract has expired, the contract’s lifetime profit and loss will be added to the user’s Bitcoin balance. Please note that the contract will no longer appear on the Positions section
