OKX crypto-exchange will exclude futures with Filecoin and Chainlink
With such a measure, the platform thus plans to protect users from unforeseen risks
Crypto-exchange OKX announced the removal of futures contracts with Filecoin (FIL) and Chainlink (LINK): FILUSDT and LINKUSDT (including weekly, bi-weekly, quarterly and bi-quarterly contracts) at 10:00 a.m. MSK and 11:00 a.m. MSK on December 29, 2022, respectively.

The platform said in a statement that the liquidity of FILUSDT and LINKUSDT has deteriorated in light of recent market conditions. And to avoid unforeseen market risks and improve service for users, OKX will exclude these futures contracts.
The exchange warned users that the market could fluctuate sharply before excluding the futures and advised them to pay attention to risks, reduce leverage multiples or close positions in advance. It also published information about rule adjustments it had made to ensure the successful execution of existing futures contracts.
