In an effort to expand its trading offerings, OKX is set to launch BTCUSD and ETHUSD perpetual contracts with USD margins on November 5, 2025. This move is part of OKX’s strategy to bolster the USD ecosystem and provide diverse trading options for its users, according to OKX.
Details of the New Offerings
These perpetual contracts, known as BTCUSD UM and ETHUSD UM, will be available to traders starting at 10:00 am UTC. The contracts are designed to be settled using either USDC or USDG, offering flexibility to traders in choosing their preferred settlement currency. The introduction of these contracts is aligned with OKX’s aim to support the growth of the USDⓈ ecosystem.
Transition from USDC-Margined Contracts
In conjunction with the launch of the new USD-margined futures, OKX announced plans to delist existing USDC-margined perpetual contracts. While the exact timeline for this transition has not been disclosed, OKX assures users that detailed guidance will follow to facilitate a smooth transition.
Market Impact and Future Prospects
The introduction of the BTCUSD and ETHUSD perpetual contracts could potentially increase trading activity on the OKX platform, as traders seek to leverage the new offerings. This development is part of a broader trend in the cryptocurrency market, where exchanges are increasingly focusing on USD-margined products to cater to a growing user base seeking stability in volatile markets.
