Recently, there have been new changes in the exchange ecosystem. An official from a leading exchange announced plans to delist multiple USDT-M perpetual contracts on January 21, 2026.

The logic behind this move is worth pondering—optimizing the contract product line usually reflects an exchange's re-evaluation of market demand. The contracts being delisted are often those with low trading volume or insufficient market demand, which is essentially an optimization of resource allocation.

For traders, it’s important to plan your positions in advance. If you still hold positions in these contracts, quickly check the delisting schedule to avoid being forced to close your positions unexpectedly. At the same time, this also signals that top platforms are refining their product matrix, paying more attention to trading depth and liquidity.

Coming back with the same routine? Every time it's about optimizing liquidity, but honestly, it's just because trading volume is too poor. Hurry up and buy the dip on obscure contracts; maybe one will be pumped before being delisted. Is my position on the delisting list... I need to check, or I might really get trapped. Exchanges are increasingly using this tactic, feeling like they're gradually cutting the leeks. Notify three months in advance? That's somewhat considerate, but by then, it'll probably be another round of stop-loss frenzy.

Here comes another round of cleaning up garbage contracts. I've seen enough of these operations. I can't be bothered with those with tiny trading volumes; they should have been delisted long ago. Brothers with stuck positions, hurry up and clear your positions. Don't wait until the forced liquidation moment. The exchange is becoming more refined, but contracts with poor liquidity should have disappeared long ago. Quickly take a look at your own contracts, so you're not caught off guard when the time comes. Another wave of removing the chaff and keeping the best. This way, it’s more refreshing. Garbage contracts should be gone.

Here comes another round of cleaning up trash trading pairs. The exchange's operations are really too frequent. Brothers, quickly check if you've been caught off guard. Forced liquidation is truly tormenting. But to be honest, contracts with poor liquidity don't really have much trading significance in the first place. Delisting is also a way to cut off the source.

Here comes another round of cleaning up scam contracts, so familiar with this routine. It should have been closed long ago, those assets with trading volumes as dead as a doornail. I've already taken off my pants, and you're telling me to close the position? Why didn't you notify me two months in advance? The exchange only cares about that small fee; liquidity and other things are just a cover. Are there positions that need to be forcibly liquidated? A bloody scene. Now it's really time to see clearly your own positions; don't cry and call for your mother when the time comes.
