Starting February 20, 2025, OKX is expanding its suite of crypto trading and earning services with the official listing of STRK perpetual contracts, the launch of margin trading, and the integration of Simple Earn support for STRK. This move enhances accessibility and utility for users engaging with the STRK token, offering advanced trading options and passive income opportunities across multiple platforms.
All web and app interfaces, as well as API endpoints, have been updated to reflect these new features. Whether you're a seasoned trader or exploring yield-generating assets, the addition of STRK to OKX’s ecosystem presents a timely opportunity to diversify strategies in the evolving cryptocurrency market.
Margin Trading and Simple Earn Launch
To empower users with greater financial flexibility, OKX has introduced both spot margin trading and yield-based savings for STRK.
Spot Margin Trading for STRK/USDT
Effective at 11:00 AM on February 21, 2025 (Vietnam Time), spot margin trading will be available for the STRK/USDT trading pair. This allows traders to leverage their positions using borrowed funds, increasing potential returns—while also managing associated risks.
Users can access tiered margin levels based on account equity and risk profile. For full details on margin tiers, including maximum borrow limits and required collateral ratios, visit the official Position Margin Tier guide on OKX after listing.
Simple Earn: Earn Yield on STRK Holdings
Alongside trading capabilities, OKX’s Simple Earn program now supports STRK deposits. Starting at the same time—11:00 AM on February 21, 2025 (Vietnam Time)—users can lock or subscribe to their STRK holdings and earn competitive interest rates over time.
This feature is ideal for long-term holders seeking passive income without exiting their positions. The exact allocation limits and APY rates may vary based on market demand and total participation. For the most up-to-date information on eligibility and returns, refer to the Introduction to OKX Simple Earn and Related Rules post-launch.

Perpetual Swap Contracts for STRK
At 8:00 PM on February 20, 2025 (Vietnam Time), OKX officially launched STRKUSDT perpetual swap contracts, enabling traders to take leveraged long or short positions with USDT as the settlement asset.
Designed for active traders seeking exposure to STRK price movements without owning the underlying token, this derivative product offers high flexibility, deep liquidity, and advanced risk management tools.
Key Contract Specifications
- Underlying Index: STRK/USDT
- Settlement Asset: USDT
- Contract Size: 1 STRK per contract
- Quotation: Price of 1 STRK in equivalent USDT value
- Price Tick: 0.0001 USDT
- Leverage Range: 1.01x to 50x (adjustable based on position size and risk settings)
- Funding Rate Mechanism:
Clamp(MA((Best Bid + Best Ask)/2 – Spot Index Price) / Spot Index Price – Interest Rate, -0.75%, 0.75%), where Interest Rate = 0 - Trading Hours: 24/7
Special Funding Rate Adjustment at Launch
Due to potential volatility during the initial phase, a temporary cap on funding fees will be enforced:
- Until 11:00 PM on February 20, 2025 (Vietnam Time): Maximum funding rate capped at 0.03% per cycle
- After 11:00 PM on February 20, 2025: Cap gradually returns to normal levels, with a projected upper limit of 1.50%
The first funding fee calculation for this period will occur at 3:00 PM on February 21, 2025 (Vietnam Time). Traders holding open positions will be charged or credited accordingly based on the direction of their trade and prevailing funding rate.
This temporary measure ensures a smoother market entry and protects users from unexpected cost spikes during early adoption.
