Overview
- OKX announced the new X‑Perp markets on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, rolling out 13 perpetual‑futures contracts to customers across the European Economic Area.
- The contracts give retail users continuous, single‑account exposure to the 'Magnificent 7' (Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla), gold, silver, WTI and Brent crude, and SPY and QQQ, with trading available 24/7 and up to 10x leverage.
- OKX says it will add an X‑Perp tied to SpaceX on June 12 following that company’s IPO, and it frames the launch as part of a broader product expansion that includes recent investments and infrastructure moves.
- The company points to regulatory footing — MiCA, MiFID II and Payment Institution licences plus an EU passport — as the basis for offering these products to EEA retail customers before unlicensed platforms lose access after July 1.
- X‑Perps let traders maintain continuous leveraged positions and enable Europeans to access US index exposure without a separate brokerage account, but leverage raises the risk of rapid losses and could shift retail flows into exchange‑listed derivatives after the MiCA transition.
