Gate has delisted 27 token trading markets. Users holding positions need to take action before January 21.

Gate officially announces that on January 21st, it will delist trading markets for 27 tokens due to non-compliance with trading standards. This means that within approximately one week, users holding these tokens must make a choice: withdraw their assets or wait for platform buyback compensation. Among them, tokens like NYZO are typical examples due to their low market cap and severe liquidity shortages.

Delisted Token List and User Action Timeline

The 27 delisted tokens include: CELA, DVI, SAKE, OST, SQUAD, WORK, NYZO, DKS, DPY, CFI, T23, IDV, GTC, STMX, VTG, BOA, MIDLE, BRWL, EXVG, 1EARTH, KOS, ZBAI, SHOE, SATX, KASTA, DOGA, SNY.

According to the official announcement, key dates are as follows:

Actions Users Need to Take

Step 1: Confirm holdings

Check if your Gate account holds any of the 27 tokens listed above. NYZO, due to on-chain anomalies, is temporarily unable to be withdrawn; the platform will restore withdrawal services after confirming safety.

Step 2: Choose a handling plan

• Option 1: Proactively withdraw. Before trading is suspended on January 21, transfer tokens to your personal Web3 wallet for safekeeping.
• Option 2: Wait for buyback. If not withdrawn in time, submit a form between February 4 and February 11 to request buyback compensation.

Step 3: Understand buyback rules

The platform will buy back tokens at a preset price, but the maximum compensation per user is 100 USDT. This means that even if your holdings are larger, the compensation has an upper limit.

Common Characteristics of Delisted Tokens

The delisting of these 27 tokens reflects Gate’s strict control over trading standards. Take NYZO as an example: launched in 2018, it currently has a market cap of only $2.05 million, ranking 2801st in the crypto market cap list, with a 24-hour trading volume of just $6,136, and extremely thin liquidity. Its current price is $0.002056, down 22.72% in the past 24 hours.

Common issues among these tokens include:

• Very low market cap, easy to manipulate
• Severe liquidity shortages, minimal trading volume
• Project team uncontactable or unable to communicate effectively (NYZO cannot contact the project team due to on-chain anomalies)
• Security risks or technical issues

Background of Platform Risk Management

Gate’s derivatives trading volume grew by 46.6% in 2025, ranking among the industry leaders. While expanding business scale, the platform is also strengthening quality control. The delisting of 27 tokens is a systematic cleanup of the trading market, aimed at protecting user funds and preventing risks from low-quality assets.

Summary

Gate’s delisting action provides users with about a one-week buffer period. The safest approach is to proactively withdraw tokens before January 21 to avoid passive waiting for buyback compensation. Although buyback offers some protection, the cap of 100 USDT means most users’ actual losses may not be fully covered. For investors holding such low-market-cap tokens, this is also an opportunity to reflect—tokens with poor liquidity and low market cap often carry higher risks. Identifying and avoiding these risks early is more important than remedial actions after the fact.
