Investors, Alert! OKX to Delist Frontier (FRONT) – Here’s Why
Zameer Attar10 Sept 20242 min read
To protect investors, OKX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, announced on September 10, 2024, that it will soon delist the Frontier (FRONT) token. The delisting will affect trading pairs like FRONT/USDT and FRONT/USDC, which will no longer be available from September 13, 2024.
But what exactly is going on? Why has OKX, a platform renowned for its commitment to user protection, taken such a drastic step? And what does this mean for investors who were holding FRONT tokens?
Read on.
Understanding the Delisting
OKX has advised investors to cancel their orders before the delisting date; otherwise, the system will automatically cancel them. Deposits for FRONT were already suspended on September 9, 2024.
The reason behind the suspension and delisting of Frontier (FRONT) tokens is the rebranding and migration, which the exchange does not support. According to the data, the Frontier (FRONT) token has been rebranded to Self Chain (SLF). Additionally, the project has increased the total token supply from 90,000,000 to 360,000,000 following rebranding.
Why Has OKX Taken This Decision?
Another reason this project has come into the limelight is the exchange of tokens from FRONT to SLF. According to data, while the total supply has increased, the exchange rate is 1 FRONT to 1 SLF token, which has raised concerns among the community about potential fraud. Based on the data, the value held by the users was diluted by 75% related to the total supply.
OKX is the first exchange to delist a token over concerns about unfair token distribution. OKX stated it would continue to monitor all listed trading pairs and use delisting or hiding mechanisms when necessary to ensure fair trading conditions.
History of Delistings
This is not the first time a crypto exchange has delisted trading pairs to protect investors. Many exchanges have previously removed tokens to prevent potential risks to investor funds.
SLF Token Price Analysis
Since the rebranding, the SLF token is trading around $0.43, with a 2% price drop in the last 24 hours. Trading volume has also fallen by 17% in the same period, suggesting declining investor interest in the newly rebranded token.
