The launch of ME (Magic Eden) spot trading on OKX has been rescheduled. Below is the updated timeline and essential details for users preparing to trade ME/USDT.
Updated Launch Schedule
Due to operational adjustments, the initial launch time for ME (Magic Eden) has been delayed. Here is the revised schedule:
1. Call Auction Period
Time: December 10, 2024, 9:30 PM – 10:00 PM (UTC+8)
During this 30-minute window, users can place limit orders for ME/USDT. The system will collect all bids and asks to calculate a reference opening price based on market depth.

2. Spot Trading Goes Live
Time: December 10, 2024, 10:00 PM (UTC+8)
ME/USDT spot trading will officially begin after the call auction concludes.
3. Withdrawal Availability
Time: December 11, 2024, 11:00 AM (UTC+8)
Users will be able to withdraw ME tokens starting at this time.
Risk Control Measures at Market Open
To protect traders from extreme volatility during the initial phase of trading, OKX will enforce temporary risk controls for the first 5 minutes after market open:
- No market orders allowed
- Maximum order value per limit order: $10,000
These restrictions will be automatically lifted after the 5-minute window ends, allowing full trading functionality.
This approach helps prevent flash crashes or artificial pumps caused by large, uncontrolled market orders—common risks with newly listed assets.
Understanding the Call Auction Mechanism
The ME/USDT pair will debut using a call auction, a proven method for fair and orderly price discovery.
How It Works:
- Users submit buy and sell orders during the call auction window.
- No trades are executed until the session ends.
- At the close of the auction, the system determines a single opening price that maximizes trade volume while balancing supply and demand.
- All eligible orders are then matched at this uniform price.
The final opening price may also incorporate guidance from the project team based on valuation benchmarks. However, this reference does not override the auction mechanism—it serves only as supplementary information.
Call auctions reduce front-running risks and promote transparency, especially for high-interest tokens like ME.

Futures Contract Settlement Information
For users holding pre-launch MEUSDT futures contracts, here are the key settlement details:
1. Settlement Timing
- Contracts will settle 2.5 hours after spot market launch.
- The settlement price will be calculated between 2–3 hours post-launch.
- Any changes to spot listing times will automatically adjust settlement timing—stay tuned for updates.
2. Settlement Price Calculation
- Index Composition: Based on ME/USDT prices from three or more major exchanges.
- Final Price: The arithmetic average of the OKX index over the last hour before settlement.
- In cases of suspected price manipulation or extreme anomalies, OKX reserves the right to adjust the final price to a fair market level.
3. Post-Settlement Restrictions
- Users with open positions valued over $10,000 at settlement will face temporary restrictions on fund transfers across their account.
- These restrictions last 30 minutes, after which normal operations resume.
4. Settlement Fee
- A flat 1% fee applies to all settled contracts.
- Any future changes to this rate will be announced separately.
5. Price Limits During Pre-Settlement Phase
To prevent excessive speculation near settlement:
After contract creation:
- Buy order cap: 15% above the hourly mid-price average
- Sell order floor: 15% below the hourly mid-price average
Final 60 minutes before settlement:
- Buy cap reduced to +5%
- Sell floor raised to –5%
Mid-price = (Best Bid + Best Ask) / 2
These limits are recalculated every minute.
Risk Management Reminder
Digital assets are highly volatile and carry significant investment risk. OKX strongly advises users to:
- Reduce leverage ahead of settlement events
- Consider closing positions early if market conditions are uncertain
- Monitor account health continuously
In the event of liquidations leading to auto-deleveraging (ADL):
- The insurance fund covers initial losses.
- If insufficient, profitable users with high leverage may experience partial position reductions, starting from the highest profit margins.
All historical orders and transaction records remain accessible via the web platform under “Order Center” for download and review.
