Account Maintenance Fee for Inactive Accounts :

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 31st August 2026 13:30 UTC. If trading privileges are available to you, you can resume trading in Futures, Options. 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: Last day of every month at 13:30 UTC, starting 31st August 2026.
Price snapshot: Asset prices are captured at 13:30 UTC on the last day 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. Your assets are used to cover the fee in the following order:

DETO → USDT → USDC → BTC → ETH → XRP → SOL

Assets are converted to USDT only if your existing DETO and USDT are unable to cover the fee for a particular cycle, and the conversion is strictly in the order above. Collection starts at the first asset you hold and moves to the next only when the current one is exhausted — only as much as is needed to cover the USDT 10 fee is ever used. Even if you hold a sufficient USDT balance, the defined asset priority is followed, and USDT is used only for any remaining fee amount after the preceding assets have been exhausted.

Example: How the Deduction Works

Suppose a user holds USDT, DETO, USDC, BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL. Here is how the monthly deduction plays out over two months.

Month 1 — 31st August

Snapshot prices and balances on 31st 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
USDT	12	1.00	12.00	12.00	12
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			6,217.00	6,207.00

The user's DETO balance (USDT 15) is enough to cover the full USDT 10 fee. Following the order, DETO is used first — DETO worth USDT 10 is converted to USDT and collected as the fee, leaving DETO worth USDT 5. The user's USDT and all other assets remain untouched. The total wallet value reduces by exactly USDT 10.

Month 2 — 30th September

Snapshot prices and balances on 30th 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	0.06	5.00	0.00	0
USDT	12	1.00	12.00	7.00	7
USDC	100	1.00	100.00	100.00	100
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			5,942.00	5,932.00

This month, the user's remaining DETO is worth only USDT 5.00 — not enough to cover the full fee. Following the order, the entire DETO balance is converted first, and the remaining USDT 5.00 is collected from the next asset in the order, USDT (12 − 5 = 7). The total wallet value reduces by exactly USDT 10.

How to Avoid the Account Maintenance Fee

The Account Maintenance Fee can be avoided by completing the following steps before 31st August 2026:

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.

Once your balance is fully withdrawn, or your account is active again, no Account Maintenance Fee will apply to your account.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
