#数字资产市场动态 A major exchange recently made a big move. In mid-January, they suddenly announced that on January 21st at 5:00 PM (Beijing time), they would officially shut down USDT perpetual contracts for four tokens: BID, DMC, ZRC, and TANSI.

In other words, the trading pairs BIDUSDT, DMCUSDT, ZRCUSDT, and TANSIUSDT will have their contract markets completely closed. The platform will automatically settle all open positions before delisting—forced liquidation, automatic settlement, providing a one-stop service.

For traders still engaging with these contracts, now is the time to keep a close eye on the calendar. Time is running out, and they must quickly adjust their positions; otherwise, they will be dragged along by the system, suffering losses they can't afford. Major exchanges tend to execute such deletions decisively and swiftly, often catching the market off guard.

Honestly, this is not an isolated incident. In recent months, exchanges have frequently adjusted their contract trading pairs, and this trend has heightened market concerns over small-cap tokens. Low liquidity and low activity tokens are finding it increasingly difficult to survive on top-tier platforms. The entire industry is playing the same game—cleaning up trading pairs that don't meet certain criteria, which has become standard practice.

From an investment perspective, this is an effort by platforms to optimize their asset structures, which is understandable. But from another angle, it also serves as a warning to everyone: trading contracts for small-cap tokens is no longer as fun as it used to be, and the risk factor is steadily increasing. If you still want to explore this area, you must thoroughly assess the risks beforehand.

So, the question is—will this delisting trigger a chain reaction for these tokens? Which other contracts might be affected in the future? These are all issues worth paying continued attention to.

BID-6.8%

DMC-7.65%

ZRC-7.3%

Another round of bloodbath, small coin contracts are really not worth playing --- Forced liquidation is a common trick; exchanges love to strike suddenly --- I just want to know who the next unlucky person is, staying tuned --- This is the real risk, much scarier than price fluctuations --- The promised automatic settlement means someone is definitely trapped; bad luck really leads to huge losses --- Cleaning up small coins has become routine operation; what is the market reaction --- The problem is, even after stopping these four, we still need to keep an eye on them; who knows who will be cut next week --- Contracts are originally a gamble; now there's also platform risk, it's crazy --- Coins with increasingly poor liquidity should really be avoided; this is a lesson

Another wave? Now small-cap coins really can't show off anymore. Exchanges are getting more ruthless, shutting down instantly with no reaction time. People betting on these four coins must be panicking now; no one wants to experience liquidation. The problem is, how many more coins will be blacklisted in the future? It feels like the entire industry is just dumping its burdens. Trading small-cap contracts is all about adrenaline; once liquidity is poor, it becomes a leek field.

Coming again? These past two months, exchanges delisting contracts and launching fireworks like there's no tomorrow, they just can't stop. --- Damn, it's always the forced liquidation routine. Being quick or slow really determines life or death. --- Small coins are now just meat on the exchange's chopping block. When it's time to clean up, they do it without mercy. --- I just want to know who the next batch will be. Feels like it never ends. --- If this wave of delistings triggers a chain reaction, many people will suffer big losses. --- I understand the risks, but when it comes to critical moments, I still can't react in time. The exchanges are ruthless. --- Contracts are inherently gambling, and now we have to watch out for platform tricks. Thinking about it carefully is terrifying. --- Has anyone been heavily beaten on these four coins? Share your experience. --- Top-tier platforms optimize asset structures to sound impressive, but actually, they're just kicking out unprofitable coins. --- On the 21st, it will probably be another bloody storm, and some people will have already been liquidated when they look back at this comment.

Here we go again, another wave of liquidations... I damn well can never catch the escape boat in time. HODL small-cap coins is just playing Russian roulette; no one can predict who the next unlucky victim will be. With this pace, it feels like the entire industry is clearing inventory, and exchanges just cut without warning.
