OKX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has officially launched spot margin trading for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) for its users across Europe. This significant expansion, first reported by The Block, provides European traders with a powerful new tool to amplify their market positions within a regulated framework.
The service is currently available for the BTC/USDC and ETH/USDC trading pairs, offering leverage of up to 10x. This allows traders to control a position ten times the value of their initial collateral. The product also features a cross-margin mode, enabling a customer's entire portfolio to be used as collateral. Trades are executed through an independent unified USD EEA orderbook, which OKX states ensures compliance while preserving liquidity and execution speed.
"Europe is a tier-1 region for OKX, and today’s launch reflects our commitment to offering secure, transparent, and responsibly designed trading tools to European customers," said Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe. He emphasized that the launch gives customers access to the same high-quality infrastructure trusted globally while meeting regulatory expectations.
The move directly addresses growing demand for advanced financial instruments in the region and is supported by OKX's global risk management infrastructure and Proof-of-Reserves verification system. The exchange has integrated transparent Loan-to-Value (LTV) parameters, real-time monitoring, and automated education tools within the trading interface to help users manage the inherent risks of leveraged trading, including the potential for liquidation.
