Mainly, LP capital can typically transfer out and in freely, however there are particular conditions (i.e. the place the entire present collateral is required to again the open positions) the place there may be a short lived lock on the collateral backing system.
To disincentivize a perpetual state of locked LP collateral, an addition to the funding fee is launched when OI reaches the purpose requiring collateral lock.

There gave the impression to be extra assist amongst the Council for delisting belongings for which worth knowledge is much less dependable (reminiscent of tradfi listings), or typically extra dangerous belongings.
