AscendEX will officially inform client of the decision through email and will later publish the detailed arrangements. Subsequently, relevant tokens will enter the hiding or delisting process. Three business days thereafter, the hiding or delisting will be officially effective.

Hidden tokens will not be shown in the token list. AscendEX still supports trading of the hidden tokens, however they will only be able to be found by entering the tickers in the search field.

AscendEX has the right of amendment and final interpretation of this set of rules and guidelines.
