OKX delisting: withdraw STORJ, ICX, ELF by 23 Dec

On Wednesday 23 December 2026 at 08:00 UTC (09:00 Dutch time), OKX closes withdrawals of five tokens: DORA, ICX, STORJ, ZEUS and ELF. Trading has already ended: the pairs against the euro and USDC were removed on 30 September, and the pairs against USDT on 3 October. If you still hold a balance, you will not be able to send it to your own wallet or another exchange after 23 December. What OKX does with any remainder is not stated in the announcement.

OKX delists DORA, ICX, STORJ, ZEUS and ELF in short

• Announcement: OKX published ‘OKX to delist DORA, ICX, STORJ, ZEUS and ELF spot trading pairs’ on 23 September 2026.
• Withdrawal deadline: 23 December 2026 at 08:00 UTC. That is 09:00 Dutch time (CET). At the time of writing, on 15 November, there are 38 days left.
• Deposits: no longer possible since 23 September 2026, 10:00 UTC.
• Trading: the pairs against the euro and USDC were removed on 30 September, and the pairs against USDT on 3 October (each time between 08:00 and 10:00 UTC).
• Downside: you can no longer sell or convert the five tokens on OKX. If you want to cash them in, you will have to do it on another exchange.
• Reason: OKX only says that the pairs do not meet its listing criteria, with no reason given per token.

The timeline in numbers

All times come from OKX's announcement and are in UTC.

A quick calculation with the dates in the table: between the closing of deposits (23 September) and the closing of withdrawals (23 December) there are 91 days. From the disappearance of the last trading pair (3 October) to the withdrawal deadline, it is 81 days.

The eleven pairs are: ICX, STORJ and ELF, each against the euro, USDC and USDT (nine pairs), plus DORA/USDT and ZEUS/USDT. So only ICX, STORJ and ELF had a euro pair. For DORA and ZEUS, OKX only offered a pair against USDT.

Where are your tokens now?

According to the announcement, after the delisting your tokens appear under Assets > Untradable assets, merged into your funding account. While this merge is under way, withdrawals and transfers may temporarily not work until it is complete. A failed withdrawal therefore does not necessarily mean the token is blocked; try again later.

According to OKX, open orders on the pairs concerned are cancelled automatically; this can take one to three working days. Trading bots for the pairs concerned were closed gradually between 07:00 and 08:00 UTC on the day of the delisting.

How to get your tokens out

This is a procedure based on OKX's announcement. It is not advice.

1. Find your balance. Check your funding account and the untradable assets. Note how much you hold of each token. If you are sure you hold none of the five, you do not need to do anything.
2. Check the network. Tickers are not unique and a token can exist on more than one network. Look in your account to see which network and which contract address belong to your token, and whether the recipient supports that network.
3. Compare the costs. A withdrawal carries a network fee, usually paid in the token itself. With a small balance it can be higher than the value. In that case, doing nothing is a deliberate choice. You can see the amount in your own account; the announcement gives no figure.
4. Do a small test withdrawal if the balance is large enough, and check that it arrives.
5. Do not wait until the last hour. The deadline falls on Wednesday 23 December at 09:00 Dutch time, right before the holidays. So start well in advance.
6. Choose where the tokens go. To your own wallet (see our guide to choosing a crypto wallet), or to another exchange where you have first checked that a trading pair for this token exists and that the network matches.

How other exchanges handle it

OKX allows a good two and a half months (81 days) between the end of trading and the withdrawal deadline. At OKX an earlier round, GODS, PRCL and DUCK, ran until 7 November; see our article OKX delisting: withdraw GODS, PRCL, DUCK by 7 November. If you hold tokens on several exchanges, you have more deadlines in December: Kraken delisting: withdraw 21 tokens by 10 December and KuCoin delisting: withdraw 23 tokens by 7 December. Put the dates side by side in your calendar.

The numbers and dates in this table come from our own articles on those announcements; the tokens differ per exchange.

What does this mean for you as a European investor?

With OKX Europe Limited (Malta, supervisor MFSA), OKX has been in ESMA's MiCA register since 27 January 2025 (as of 5 November 2026, according to our MiCA register of providers). An authorisation does not extend the deadline: OKX decides for itself which tokens the exchange supports.

European version of the text. We read the announcement on OKX's US help page. It does mention euro pairs, but itself says you should check availability for your region in the app. So check in your own account whether your balance of these tokens appears there.

Tax. Transferring to your own wallet is not a sale in many countries, but the rules differ per country and the announcement says nothing on this. The fact that your tokens can no longer be traded on OKX does not automatically mean they are worthless, or that you have nothing to do with them in your tax return. An overview per country is available at crypto tax in Europe.

What is not certain yet

• What happens after 23 December. OKX's announcement does not say whether a remainder will be converted, sold or left as it is.
• The European version of the text. We only read the US help page. A European version may differ; check in your own account.
• The reason. OKX gives no specific reason per token.
• The value. Without a trading pair, OKX gives no reliable price. We therefore do not quote one.
• Networks and costs. The announcement mentions no networks, minimum amounts or withdrawal fees.

This article is not investment or tax advice. Crypto can lose a great deal of value and you can lose your entire investment.

Frequently asked questions

Until when can I withdraw DORA, ICX, STORJ, ZEUS and ELF from OKX?

Until 23 December 2026, 08:00 UTC (09:00 Dutch time), according to OKX's announcement of 23 September 2026.

Can I still sell these tokens on OKX?

No. The trading pairs were removed on 30 September and 3 October 2026. Buy/Sell and Convert stopped for the pairs concerned on 30 September.

Will I lose my tokens if I do not withdraw them?

The announcement does not say. It only states the deadline for withdrawals. What OKX does with any remainder is not known, so take them off the exchange if you want to keep them.

Where do I find my tokens in the OKX app?

Under Assets > Untradable assets and in your funding account, according to OKX's announcement.

Is it worth withdrawing a small balance?

Only if the network fee is lower than the value. You can see the amount in your account; with a small balance the fee can be higher than what you transfer.
