- Round-the-clock futures access enabled for U.S. equities and commodity markets

OKX has broadened its X-Perps product line throughout Europe, providing individual traders with continuous futures access to prominent U.S. equities, raw materials, and benchmark indices. This expansion introduces contracts for Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla to its compliant European operations. The move reinforces OKX’s strategic pivot toward traditional finance as appetite increases for immediate global market participation.
Stock and Commodity Contracts Join X-Perps Suite
OKX unveiled 13 additional X-Perps instruments for its European client base, featuring derivatives linked to premier U.S. technology corporations. The expanded roster encompasses the Magnificent 7, consisting of Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla. Beyond these tech leaders, OKX incorporated Gold, Silver, WTI Crude Oil, and Brent Crude Oil contracts.
The platform simultaneously introduced SPY and QQQ X-Perps, delivering users price movement exposure to primary U.S. equity benchmarks. SPY represents the 500 most valuable U.S. corporations, whereas QQQ captures the Nasdaq-100’s leading non-financial entities. European traders can therefore obtain comprehensive U.S. market participation through a single trading interface.
OKX confirmed all newly launched instruments function continuously and accommodate leverage reaching 10x. The platform plans to introduce a SpaceX-connected X-Perp on June 12 following the firm’s public listing. This rollout consequently broadens OKX’s cross-asset portfolio amid heightened activity in worldwide financial markets.
Continuous Market Participation Through X-Perps
X-Perps enable participants to address market developments beyond conventional trading windows. Market participants can adjust positions following corporate earnings releases, monetary policy announcements, commodity price fluctuations, and international political developments without awaiting exchange opening times. Additionally, they maintain funds on OKX while transitioning between cryptocurrency and conventional market positions.
The instrument eliminates requirements for separate brokerage arrangements, per company statements. Participants can access the expanded markets via a unified account and consolidated margin facility. OKX markets X-Perps as a streamlined pathway to multiple investment categories.
OKX Europe CEO Erald Ghoos noted that European market participants comprehend the catalysts driving international financial movements. He stated X-Perps deliver unified account access, comprehensive market coverage, and uninterrupted availability. He further emphasized that regulated infrastructure provides customer safeguards consistent with European regulatory standards.
Regulatory Framework and Volume Expansion Drive Initiative
OKX disclosed that X-Perps transaction volume has increased over 447% starting May 1. The organization anticipates sustained growth as additional instruments become available. The company withheld detailed volume distribution across individual contracts.
This introduction coincides with Europe’s strengthening oversight requirements for digital asset service operators. OKX maintains MiCA, MiFID II, and Payment Institution authorizations throughout Europe. Furthermore, its EU passport facilitates regulated service delivery across European Economic Area jurisdictions.
The MiCA transition window concludes July 1, 2026. Beyond that deadline, unlicensed platforms cannot provide cryptocurrency services throughout the EEA. OKX leverages regulated product diversification to reinforce its competitive standing in European markets.
