# **Summary**

This proposal seeks to wind down and move the following 10 markets to final settlement:

- SAGA-USD

- NC-USD

- BOME-USD

- B3-USD

- BABYDOGE-USD

- SOPH-USD

- MICHI-USD

- NIL-USD

- AR-USD

- XAI-USD

These markets have exhibited extremely wide spreads and have had no trading activity for over 30 days.

* * *

### **Rationale**

The selected markets show persistent illiquidity, reflected in very wide bid-ask spreads and complete absence of trading activity over extended periods.

Details:

- **SAGA-USD** – 78% spread, no trades since Nov 13

- **NC-USD** – 70% spread, no trades since Nov 13

- **BOME-USD** – 69% spread, no trades since Dec 5

- **B3-USD** – 74% spread, no trades since Dec 22

- **BABYDOGE-USD** – 67% spread, no trades since Dec 29

- **SOPH-USD** – 71% spread, no trades since Jan 9

- **MICHI-USD** – 78% spread, no trades since Jan 15

- **NIL-USD** – 66% spread, no trades since Jan 15

- **AR-USD** – 64% spread, no trades since Jan 15

- **XAI-USD** – 70% spread, no trades since Jan 18

Markets with spreads in the 64–78% range and zero activity for more than 30 days do not provide meaningful trading opportunities and may create a poor user experience.

## **Motivation**

Delisting these inactive markets would:

- Improve overall market quality

- Reduce maintenance overhead

- Streamline the product offering

- Focus liquidity and attention on actively traded pairs

* * *

## **Technical Implementation**

The proposal updates each market to:

- Disable price feeds

- Set status to STATUS\_FINAL\_SETTLEMENT
