Monero price: MEXC sets November 17 deadline for XMR spot trading
Published on 11/14/2026 at 13:08 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSMonero trading access faces a change
- MEXC announced that XMR spot trading will be suspended on November 17, 2026, at 09:00 UTC.
- XMR deposits on MEXC are already closed, while withdrawals are scheduled to remain open for 30 days after delisting.
- MEXC also scheduled the removal of XMR USDT-M perpetual futures for November 13, 2026, at 10:00 UTC.
- The decision affects access on one exchange and does not change Monero's underlying network rules.
Monero price developments are now being weighed alongside a change in exchange access. MEXC announced on November 11 that it would remove the XMR and DASH spot trading pairs. For Monero, the scheduled spot-trading suspension is set for November 17, 2026, at 09:00 UTC. The exchange says open orders will be canceled when trading is suspended.
MEXC timeline for XMR access
According to the MEXC announcement, XMR deposits have already been closed. Withdrawals are scheduled to remain available for 30 days after the spot delisting. The notice does not give a reason for removing the pairs, so the exchange action should not be presented as proof of a specific regulatory or network event.
MEXC separately scheduled the XMR and DASH USDT-M perpetual futures pairs for delisting on November 13, 2026, at 10:00 UTC. The futures notice says remaining positions will be closed at the fair price at the time of delisting and that open orders will be canceled. The notice also refers to associated demo-trading and futures-grid products where applicable.
What changes for holders
The practical distinction is between spot XMR and a derivatives position. Spot holders must use the announced withdrawal window if they want to move coins away from MEXC after trading ends. A perpetual futures contract does not represent a withdrawable XMR balance; positions are handled under the exchange's settlement process.
The delisting changes one venue's trading and custody arrangements, but it does not alter Monero's protocol. The project's website describes Monero as a decentralized cryptocurrency designed to keep transaction finances confidential and secure. That network characteristic remains separate from whether an individual exchange lists XMR.
For investors, the key items to monitor are the November 17 spot deadline, the withdrawal window and the availability of alternative venues that comply with local requirements. The Monero price may respond to changes in liquidity, but the exchange announcement itself does not establish a causal price effect or provide a valuation signal.
