As the crypto market grapples with a wave of sell-offs, leading exchanges like Binance, Bithumb, and OKX continue to update their listings with significant announcements. Notably, two altcoins responded to these developments with remarkable price surges.
Binance Extends OMG Delisting Deadline
In a surprising turn of events, Binance has postponed the delisting of the OMG perpetual contract by a month. Initially slated for removal, Binance Futures announced the extension until January 31, 2025. Before the delisting, Binance will carry out automatic settlement of open positions. The exchange urged users to close their positions ahead of the deadline to avoid any inconvenience.
Here’s the official statement from Binance:
“Dear Binance Users, Binance Futures has postponed the delisting of the USDⓈ-M OMGUSDT Perpetual Contract to January 31, 2025, at 12:00 PM (UTC). Automatic settlement will be carried out before delisting. Users are advised to close their open positions to avoid automatic settlement. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.”
Binance Launches New Quarterly Contracts
In addition to the OMG update, Binance announced the introduction of USDⓈ-M and COIN-M Quarterly 0627 Delivery Contracts. These will be listed shortly after the expiration of the existing 1227 contracts, scheduled for December 27, 2024, at 11:00 AM (UTC).
