Summary

OKX has launched X-Perps, a new suite of MiFID-regulated crypto derivatives offering up to 10x leverage, available to retail and institutional traders across the European Economic Area (EEA).

OKX Europe CEO Erald Ghoos emphasized Europe as a priority market and highlighted X-Perps' role in providing a trusted, high-performance derivatives trading environment. The launch is part of OKX's broader European strategy focused on regulated growth and user protection, including enhanced educational resources and an appropriateness assessment for traders.
