OKX Transforms into All-Encompassing Trading Platform
OKX has evolved from a crypto exchange into a broader trading and investing platform. Founded in 2017, OKX now offers users access to financial services spanning saving, investing, spending, and instant money transfers, all through one app.
The platform's core strength remains advanced trading, with spot, perpetual swaps, futures, and options supported by a unified account system that allows collateral to be managed efficiently across positions. Standard global spot fees start at 0.08% maker and 0.10% taker, while futures start at 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker.
OKX has expanded its product range significantly in recent years. In addition to crypto trading, the platform now offers 24/7 stock, ETF, and commodity-linked derivatives in eligible markets, covering names such as Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla alongside SPY, QQQ, gold, silver, and oil.
The platform has also introduced pre-IPO perpetual futures providing exposure to private companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. More recently, OKX launched spot tokenized stocks, allowing eligible users to trade 24/7 tokenized exposure to US stocks and ETFs directly against USDT.
