Dear Delta Exchange Global Users,
As part of our commitment to maintaining a secure and well-managed platform, Delta Exchange Global is introducing a monthly Account Maintenance Fee on inactive accounts that continue to hold balances on the platform.
Purpose of the Account Maintenance Fee
Accounts that are no longer actively trading but continue to hold balances involve ongoing custody, security, and operational costs, and present elevated risks around account protection and asset safety. The Account Maintenance Fee is designed to encourage users of such accounts to withdraw their idle funds in a timely manner, while offsetting the cost of safeguarding balances that remain on the platform.
Scope of the Account Maintenance Fee
Account Maintenance Fee is selectively applied only to inactive users from Delta Exchange Global. An account is considered inactive if it has not placed any trade in Futures or Options in the last 3 months.
We encourage all affected users to act before 25th August 2026 00:00 UTC. If trading privileges are available to you, you can resume trading in Futures, Options or spot; otherwise, simply withdraw your full balance — in either case, no Account Maintenance Fees will be charged. The detailed steps are covered in the "How to Avoid the Account Maintenance Fee" section below.
Please note: KYC verification is mandatory to withdraw funds. If you have not completed KYC, please complete your verification first and then withdraw your balance.
Fee Structure
- Fee amount: USDT 10 (or equivalent) per month, per account.
- Deduction date and time: 25th of every month at 00:00 UTC (midnight), starting 25th August 2026.
- Price snapshot: Asset prices are captured at 00:00 IST on the 25th of each month, immediately before the deduction, and the fee is deducted at these prices.
- If your total balance is less than USDT 10 on the deduction date, the entire remaining balance is charged and your balance becomes zero.
How is the fee collected?
The Account Maintenance Fee is always charged in USDT. If your account does not hold a sufficient USDT balance, your assets are automatically converted to USDT to cover the fee, in the following order:
DETO → USDC → BTC → ETH → XRP → SOL
To collect the fee, your assets are converted to USDT one by one, following the order in the list above. We begin by converting the first asset in the list that you hold. If that asset is enough to cover the USDT 10 fee, we convert only that much and nothing else is touched. If it is not enough, we convert all of it and collect the remaining amount by converting the next asset in the list — and this continues until the full USDT 10 is collected.
Example: How the Deduction Works
Suppose a user holds DETO, USDC, BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL. Here is how the monthly
deduction plays out over two months.
Month 1 — 25th August
Snapshot prices and balances on 25th August, immediately before deduction:
| Asset | Balance (count) | Snapshot Price (USDT) | Value Before Deduction (USDT) | Value After Deduction (USDT) | Balance After Deduction (count) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DETO | 250 | 0.06 | 15.00 | 5.00 | 83.33 |
| USDC | 100 | 1.00 | 100.00 | 100.00 | 100 |
| BTC | 0.001 | 60,000 | 60.00 | 60.00 | 0.001 |
| ETH | 1 | 2,000 | 2,000.00 | 2,000.00 | 1 |
| XRP | 20 | 1.50 | 30.00 | 30.00 | 20 |
| SOL | 50 | 80 | 4,000.00 | 4,000.00 | 50 |
| Total | 6,205.00 | 6,195.00 |
The user's DETO balance (USDT 15) is sufficient to cover the full USDT 10 fee — so DETO worth USDT 10 is converted to USDT and collected as the fee, and no other asset is affected. The total wallet value reduces by exactly USDT 10.
Month 2 — 25th September
Snapshot prices and balances on 25th September, immediately before deduction (note that
prices can change month to month):
| Asset | Balance (count) | Snapshot Price (USDT) | Value Before Deduction (USDT) | Value After Deduction (USDT) | Balance After Deduction (count) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DETO | 83.33 | 0.04 | 3.33 | 0.00 | 0 |
| USDC | 100 | 1.00 | 100.00 | 93.33 | 93.33 |
| BTC | 0.001 | 50,000 | 50.00 | 50.00 | 0.001 |
| ETH | 1 | 1,500 | 1,500.00 | 1,500.00 | 1 |
| XRP | 20 | 1.25 | 25.00 | 25.00 | 20 |
| SOL | 50 | 85 | 4,250.00 | 4,250.00 | 50 |
| Total | 5,928.33 | 5,918.33 |
This month, the user's remaining DETO is worth only USDT 3.33 — not enough to cover the full fee. Following the order above, the entire DETO balance is converted to USDT first, and the remaining USDT 6.67 is collected by converting the next asset in the order, USDC (100 − 6.67 = 93.33). Once again, the total wallet value reduces by exactly USDT 10.
How to Avoid the Account Maintenance Fee
- Complete KYC verification if you have not already — KYC is mandatory for withdrawals.
- If trading is available to you, log in to Delta Global and resume trading in Futures or Options — once you place a trade, your account is no longer considered inactive, and the Account Maintenance Fee will not apply.
- If trading is not available to you, log in to Delta Global and withdraw your full balance to your own wallet. You can withdraw your assets directly as they are (BTC, ETH, and so on), or — for added convenience — use the optional one-click conversion popup on the homepage and wallet page to convert everything to USDT and withdraw in one place.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
