With the mission to digitize and create better transaction networks for the world, whether it is for currencies, assets, or anything of value, Bitkub is proud to present its Digital Asset Framework.
The Framework is designed to set the standards for how we evaluate digital assets to be part of our listing and make decisions to keep our customers' best interests in mind. We do not, in any way, endorse assets and we reserve the absolute right to list, not to list, and de-list any asset for trading regardless of how it met the standards specified in this framework. This framework is subject to changes or improvements over time.
There are 3 main criterias we evaluate before approving the listing:
(1) A-Must Criteria
(2) Technical and Operational Feasibility
(3) Committee Scoring
On top of that, after listing, we still conduct an evaluation periodically.
If you are interested in listing your coins/tokens, please feel free to contact us at business@bitkub.com.

The suspension of digital assets' trading and notification to customers in case of asset delisting
After the Listing Committee has the final decision to delist any digital assets, the notification to suspend any trading transaction of such digital assets shall be given and the Customer Support will also send a notification e-mail to the customers who are holding such digital assets to withdraw all the remaining digital assets maintained in their accounts from the company's system within the timeline defined by the Listing Committee.
The customers shall proceed with the withdrawals by themselves via our website. The IT Department will monitor the remaining balance of the digital assets of each customer continuously. Upon the expiry date that the Listing Committee defined, the IT Department will close the withdrawal system from the exchange system immediately, disregard the fact that the customer has fully withdrawn all the remaining digital assets out or not.
However, the company shall hold all of the delisted digital assets for and on behalf of the customer in case there are remaining digital assets in the system; provided that the company may collect the applicable fee for maintaining such digital assets for the customer. In case the customer fails to withdraw the remaining digital assets out of the system before the system closure, please contact Customer Support to request for withdrawals.
