OKX is broadening its regulated trading offerings in Europe with the launch of 13 new X-Perp markets, giving users access to some of the world’s most popular stocks, commodities, and market indices through a single platform. The expansion comes as demand for the product continues to accelerate, with the exchange reporting a 447% increase in X-Perps trading volume since May 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest additions allow European retail traders to gain exposure to major U.S. technology companies, including Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla. The offering also includes commodities such as Gold, Silver, WTI Crude Oil, and Brent Crude Oil, along with index-linked products tied to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to OKX, the new X-Perps are designed to provide seamless access to both crypto and traditional financial markets through a single regulated account. Unlike traditional brokerage platforms that operate only during market hours, X-Perps are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
European users can now trade perpetual futures linked to major assets without needing multiple accounts across different platforms. The contracts also support leverage of up to 10x, giving traders additional flexibility when managing market exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exchange plans to expand the lineup even further. OKX revealed that a SpaceX-linked X-Perp is expected to launch on June 12 following the company\u2019s anticipated IPO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe, said investors increasingly want the ability to react quickly to earnings announcements, economic data, commodity price movements, and geopolitical events without being restricted by traditional market schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Ghoos, the goal is to provide access to multiple asset classes through a single regulated platform while maintaining the protections associated with European regulatory standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recent trading data suggests that demand is already rising rapidly. OKX reported that X-Perps trading volume has jumped more than 447% since the beginning of May, highlighting growing interest in products that bridge crypto and traditional finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The launch is particularly significant for European investors who often face limitations when trying to access U.S.-linked investment products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OKX noted that SPY, which tracks the S&P 500, has delivered a 25% return over the past year, while QQQ, which tracks the Nasdaq-100, has gained approximately 42% during the same period. The company also pointed out the massive scale difference between U.S. and European investment products, with SPY managing roughly $700 billion in assets compared with about $20 billion for the largest comparable European ETF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exchange said its X-Perps platform operates under both MiCA and MiFID II regulatory frameworks, allowing it to offer these products within a compliant European environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rollout reflects OKX\u2019s broader strategy to expand its presence across multiple areas of digital finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In May, OKX Ventures announced plans to acquire a 19.6% stake in South Korean crypto exchange Coinone through an investment valued at approximately $53 million. The partnership is expected to strengthen cooperation in areas such as security systems, risk management, and user protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company has also been developing infrastructure for emerging technologies. Earlier this year, OKX introduced its Agent Payments Protocol, an open framework designed to help AI agents handle payments, settlements, escrow services, and dispute resolution across blockchain networks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
