OKX has expanded X-Perps in Europe, giving retail traders 24/7 futures exposure to major U.S. stocks, commodities, and indices. The rollout adds Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla contracts to its regulated European platform. It also strengthens OKX’s push beyond crypto as demand grows for faster access to global markets.
OKX Adds Stock And Commodity X-Perps
OKX launched 13 new X-Perps markets for European customers, with contracts tied to leading U.S. technology stocks. The new list covers the Magnificent 7, which includes Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla. Besides these names, OKX added Gold, Silver, WTI Crude Oil, and Brent Crude Oil.
The exchange also introduced SPY and QQQ X-Perps, giving users price exposure to major U.S. stock indices. SPY tracks the 500 largest U.S. companies, while QQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100’s biggest non-financial companies. Hence, European users can access broad U.S. market exposure from one trading account.
OKX said all new contracts operate around the clock and support leverage of up to 10x. The exchange will also add a SpaceX-linked X-Perp on June 12 after the company’s IPO. Consequently, the launch expands OKX’s multi-asset offering during a busy period for global markets.
X-Perps Target 24/7 Market Access
X-Perps allow users to react to market events outside normal trading hours. Traders can respond to earnings, central bank decisions, commodity swings, and geopolitical events without waiting for exchanges to open. Moreover, they can keep capital on OKX while moving between crypto and traditional market exposure.
The product removes the need for a separate brokerage account, according to the company. Users can trade the new markets through one account and one margin pool. OKX positions X-Perps as a simpler route into several asset classes.
OKX Europe CEO Erald Ghoos said European traders understand the events that move global markets. He said X-Perps give users one account, every market, and 24/7 access. He also said regulated operations give customers protections within the European framework.
Regulation And Growth Support Launch
OKX reported that X-Perps trading volume has climbed more than 447% since May 1. The company expects momentum to continue as it adds more markets. However, it did not provide a full breakdown of volume by contract.
The launch also arrives as Europe tightens rules for crypto service providers. OKX holds MiCA, MiFID II, and Payment Institution licences in Europe. Besides that, its EU passport allows regulated services across European Economic Area member states.
The MiCA transition period ends on July 1, 2026. After that date, unlicensed exchanges can no longer offer crypto services across the EEA. OKX is using regulated product expansion to strengthen its European market position.
