OKX is a top-tier global exchange by derivatives volume, competing with Binance and Bybit on perpetual futures depth. This review is editor-curated from OKX's official fee pages; the exchange itself notes that fees vary by region, so confirm the schedule shown in your account.
Fee Schedule
- Tiered by volume: trading fees descend through Regular and VIP tiers, with top-tier maker fees reaching negative (rebate) territory on some contracts.
- US entity base tier: spot at roughly 0.20% maker / 0.35% taker as published on OKX's US fee page.
- Global entity: the commonly listed global base tier is around 0.080% maker / 0.100% taker spot and 0.020%/0.050% on perpetuals — materially cheaper, which is why region matters.
Products and Leverage
Perpetual futures on BTC, ETH, and a wide altcoin matrix carry leverage up to 100x in eligible jurisdictions (substantially lower or unavailable in restricted regions like the US). Spot, options, copy trading, and a mature API round out the offering for systematic traders.
KYC and Access
KYC has been mandatory since 2023 — OKX no longer belongs in the "no-KYC" category. Availability of derivatives and specific tokens depends on your jurisdiction and entity.
Verdict
A strong venue for fee-aware derivatives traders who can access the global entity. Verify your region's exact fee schedule and product access before transferring funds.
