OKX announces support for Polkadot’s network migration to Asset Hub, with DOT transfers pausing temporarily. Trading remains unaffected during the transition.
In a recent announcement, OKX confirmed its support for the Polkadot (DOT) network’s strategic migration to the Asset Hub. The transition is set to occur in early November 2025, aligning with Polkadot’s official migration plan, according to OKX.
Migration Schedule and Details
To facilitate the migration, DOT crypto transfers, including deposits and withdrawals, will be temporarily suspended starting at 4:00 am UTC on November 3, 2025. The actual migration process is slated for approximately 8:00 am UTC on November 4, 2025. OKX assured users that deposits and withdrawals would resume without further notice once the network demonstrates stability post-migration.
During this period, holders of DOT in their OKX accounts are not required to take any action. The exchange emphasized that DOT trading, encompassing spot, margin, and derivatives, will continue as usual throughout the transition, though users are advised to monitor their margin levels closely to mitigate risks.
Precautionary Measures and Risk Advisory
OKX cautioned against making any deposits or withdrawals of DOT during the migration window to ensure asset safety. The exchange reiterated the inherent risks in trading digital assets, highlighting the speculative and volatile nature of cryptocurrencies. Users are encouraged to conduct thorough research and assess their risk tolerance before engaging in any crypto transactions.
As the crypto industry continues to evolve, network migrations such as Polkadot’s to Asset Hub are vital for enhancing operational efficiencies and expanding blockchain capabilities. Such strategic initiatives are closely monitored by stakeholders across the crypto ecosystem.
