OKEx Launches USDT-margined Perpetual Swap Trading
OKEx (www.okex.com), the world’s largest futures cryptocurrency exchange, is set to launch the USDT-margined Perpetual Swap Trading, a linear contract, on December 16, 2019, after the recent launch of USDT Futures Trading. While it allows users to long or short a position to profit from or hedge against the rise or decline of a digital asset’s price, there is no contract expiry nor the need for roll-over. USDT-margined Perpetual Swap offers 9 types of trading pairs including BTC, EOS, ETC, ETH, LTC, BCH, BSV, TRX and XRP with a leverage level of 0.01-100x to maximize users’ trading strategy.
OKEx Perpetual Swap, one of the most popular derivative products of its portfolio throughout the year, is a synthetic margin trading instrument that saves traders from the hassle of re-opening new positions and paying extra transaction fees for a new contract, making it an ideal instrument for long-term investment or risk hedging. Upon its launch, the trading volume of the never-expiring contract has continued to break its record high thanks to its well-received highly leveraged nature. The USDT Perpetual Swap is quoted and settled in USDT digital tokens, and each contract has a face value of fixed amount of digital token with no expiry date.
Key features of OKEx USDT-margined Perpetual Swap Trading include:
- No contract expiry
- Leverage level: 0.01 to 100x
- Supported pairs: BTC, EOS, ETC, ETH, LTC, BCH, BSV, TRX and XRP
- Daily Settlement
“OKEx has been at a stage where we kept evolving. We received great response from users after the launch of USDT futures trading last month. It has been a good example of us demonstrating our commitment in cultivating a good vibe in the derivatives space,” said Jay Hao, CEO of OKEx. “Our goal is to provide a one-stop shop for professional and retail traders, offering both spot and derivatives product portfolio at one place. We’re always working to meet the needs of users in a shifting global economy and cryptocurrency ecosystem.”
OKEx has adopted an enhanced risk management system for derivatives, which includes:
- Mark Price — Well-established mark price system to effectively avoid huge fluctuations and unusual liquidation
- Tiered Maintenance Margin Ratio (TMMR) System — to avoid liquidation of large positions and its after-effect on market liquidity
- Forced Partial Liquidation Mode — to eliminate the market impact caused by many liquidated orders
