OKX launches new Futures for Perpetual and Expiry contracts
To our OKX users,
Starting December 15, 2023, OKX will introduce OKX Futures, an update to our derivatives trading platform. This change aims to streamline our futures trading offerings and improve the overall user experience.
Key Changes with OKX Futures:
- Perpetual Futures: These will replace what were previously known as Perpetual Swap Contracts. They will continue to offer the same trading functionality and pairs.
- Expiry Futures: Formerly Future Contracts, will be available in weekly, monthly, and quarterly durations, maintaining the existing leverage options and pairs.
What This Means for Traders:
- Simplified Navigation: The futures trading section on the platform will have an updated, user-friendly interface.
- Standardized Market Terms: The naming and structuring of futures contracts will now align with common industry practices.
- API: There will be no changes to the API parameters, ensuring a seamless integration for those using automated trading systems.
Accessing OKX Futures:
From December 15, access Futures Trading via the Trade > Futures option on both the web and app (version 6.46.0). The functionality and process of trading will remain familiar but under the new naming convention.
This update is part of our commitment to improving our platform and ensuring a more efficient trading experience for our users. We appreciate your continued support and welcome any feedback.
