The decision to delist these contracts has been made due to insufficient trading interest in these contracts.

The timeline for the delisting process will be as follows:The contracts will trade as normal until 04:00 UTC on 20 October 2022 (“Tstart”).

At Tstart 04:00 UTC on 20 October 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
  • The relevant Contract Specification pages will display early settlement information

At Tsettle 12:00 UTC on 20 October 2022:

  • 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, and this contract will no longer appear on the Positions section
