Products and country availability
OKX offers spot trading, derivatives and a self-custody Web3 wallet, but the exact mix available to you depends on your country and local rules — derivatives in particular are restricted in many markets. The brand offering and the entity offering vary, so a feature shown on the global site may not be available, or may be differently priced, for your jurisdiction.
Treat global feature claims with caution and confirm what the entity serving your country actually offers you. We do not publish product or limit specifics we have not verified against OKX's current pages.
Fees, coins and limits
OKX publishes a maker-taker fee schedule, a supported-asset list and withdrawal limits that vary by tier and product. We do not reproduce a figure we have not confirmed against OKX's current pages. Check the live schedule on OKX's own site, for the entity that serves your country, before you trade.
