OKX Launches MiFID-Regulated X-Perps for European Crypto Traders

The launch places leveraged crypto under EU investor-protection rules.

Overview

  • OKX introduced X-Perps for eligible EEA users under MiFID rules through its MFSA-regulated Malta entity.
  • Contracts offer up to 10x leverage with five-year expiries.
  • Traders must pass an appropriateness test before access, with negative-balance protection and real-time exposure monitoring applied.
  • The system uses portfolio margin, continuous margining and multi-asset collateral, plus a funding rate that keeps prices near spot.
  • Trading opens with pairs for BTC, ETH, ADA, DOGE, PEPE, LTC, PUMP, SOL, XRP and SUI, with more listings planned.
