OKX US has notified users that it will automatically sell Grid and Smart Portfolio positions on affected USD pairs for any account that misses the September 30 deadline. Users holding active automated strategies on the impacted pairs must act before the cutoff or face forced position closure by the platform.
According to reporting by CryptoSlate, OKX US is requiring users to close or adjust their automated positions ahead of September 30, with the exchange stating it will execute the sales itself if users do not comply in time. For related coverage, see XRP ETFs Draw $75M as Solana Funds Hit 2026 High.
OKX US says the notice specifically covers two automated-strategy products: Grid positions and Smart Portfolio positions. Both run without requiring continuous user input, which means holders may not be actively monitoring open exposure on the affected USD pairs.

A platform-initiated sale closes the position at prevailing market prices without user input. Depending on market conditions at the time of execution, the realized value may differ from what a user would achieve by manually closing at a preferred price before the deadline.

Users should log into OKX US and check whether any active Grid or Smart Portfolio strategies are running on USD pairs identified in the platform's official notice. OKX US has the specific list of affected pairs; the announcement does not confirm every USD pair is subject to the forced sale.
Beyond reviewing strategy settings, users should record current balances and position details. If a forced sale does execute, having a snapshot of holdings before the deadline helps reconcile any post-sale discrepancy. The official OKX US communication contains the applicable instructions and should be the primary reference for deadline logistics.
Grid and Smart Portfolio tools hold positions continuously, including during periods when users are not actively watching the account. When a platform changes product availability or pair support, automated positions can remain open past the point where they should have been adjusted, leaving users exposed to conditions they did not anticipate.
This type of deadline-driven notice is distinct from a routine trading decision. Platforms operating in the US market, where regulatory and compliance requirements have been evolving, periodically adjust supported pairs and products, as seen in broader shifts in how institutional and retail platforms are adapting their US product offerings. Users of automated strategies should treat operational notices with the same urgency as a margin call, since the consequence of inaction is determined by the platform rather than the user.
September 30 also marks a notable settlement date more broadly, with $58.42 billion in Treasury coupon and debt maturity net cash flows clearing on the same date, adding to end-of-month liquidity considerations for active traders managing multiple positions.
Users with Grid or Smart Portfolio strategies on OKX US should check their accounts and the platform's official notice before the September 30 cutoff to avoid an involuntary liquidation at market prices.
