Gate said it will remove the RLS_USDT, DAM_USDT, CTC_USDT and VINE_USDT perpetual futures markets on Aug. 21, 2026. The exchange will place the contracts into reduce-only mode at 15:30 UTC+8, then halt trading at 16:00 UTC+8 and automatically settle any open positions using the average index price from the final 30 minutes before delisting. Unfilled orders will be canceled automatically. Gate said users should close positions before the deadline or they will be settled by the platform. The exchange added that if price swings are unusually large during the final half hour, it may use an average index price calculated over a broader period to reduce the risk of price manipulation and user losses.
