Upbit Announces Delisting of ICX/KRW Trading Pair
South Korean digital asset exchange Upbit has confirmed the removal of the ICON (ICX) trading pair against the Korean Won (KRW). This decision will close the direct KRW trading gateway for ICX on the platform.
Critical Timeline and Required User Actions
The delisting process follows a structured timeline. Users holding ICX in the KRW market must note these key dates:
- Trading Halt: October 19, 2026, at 15:00 (UTC+9)
All open orders for the ICX/KRW pair will be canceled automatically. No new buy or sell orders will be permitted after this time. - Withdrawal Deadline: November 18, 2026
This is the final date for users to withdraw their ICX assets from the KRW market segment. Access to these assets may be restricted after the deadline.
Implications and Steps for ICX Holders
This change specifically affects the KRW trading market for ICX. Users are advised to take proactive steps to manage their holdings:
- Initiate asset transfers well before the deadline to avoid last-minute complications or network congestion.
- Consider moving assets to a personal wallet or another supporting exchange.
- Monitor Upbit's official channels for any additional instructions or updates.
Periodic review and adjustment of listed assets is a standard practice for exchanges, often driven by liquidity, project viability, or regulatory considerations. Staying informed about official announcements and managing assets proactively remains crucial for navigating such changes.
