OKX review in detail
What is OKX — is it a good exchange?
OKX is a large global crypto exchange offering spot trading, derivatives (where permitted), Earn products and a Web3 wallet. In the EU/EEA it operates as OKX Europe Limited under a MiCA CASP authorisation (MFSA Malta).
Products
Spot markets, derivatives in non-restricted regions, Earn, and a self-custody Web3 wallet. Product scope differs by country — derivatives, cefi and P2P are restricted in the UK per OKX’s own disclosure.
Who it may fit
EU users looking for a MiCA-authorised exchange, and traders who want deep spot liquidity. Users in India cannot use OKX — its own disclosure lists India as a restricted location. Nigeria’s status is not yet confirmed after OKX’s July 2026 list update.
What to check first
Your country’s status in the availability panel, the KYC requirements for your region, and the official OKX EEA Referral Program terms ↗ — rewards vary per campaign and are never guaranteed.
Security & Proof of Reserves
OKX publishes zk-STARK-based Proof of Reserves reports with a stated 1:1 reserve ratio, verifiable on its official PoR page.
KYC & regulation
KYC is mandatory. EU/EEA users are served by OKX Europe Limited (MiCA CASP, MFSA Malta, 2025-01-27); the US entity operates under MSB/state MTL registrations with state-dependent access.
Regional availability
Availability is checked per country from OKX’s official Risk & Compliance Disclosure (last updated 8 July 2026): India fully restricted; UK partially restricted (derivatives/cefi/P2P); parts of the US and all US territories restricted. Nigeria was removed from the restricted list in the 8 July 2026 update — its status is not yet confirmed, and we will not change any recommendation.
Rewards depend on eligibility and official terms. Availability, the claimable code and reward amounts all depend on your country — figures publish here only after source verification.

Referral code — how it works
Check your country’s availability status below — OKX restricts several regions in its own disclosure.
Sign up via our join link — code CCHUB attaches automatically (it shows as the referral code on OKX’s own page).
If OKX is available for you, complete KYC — required before trading.
Reward tasks and amounts live in your OKX account after registration. Reward terms: not yet confirmed — see the OKX sign-up page for current terms.
Up to 5,000 USDT is OKX’s own advertised maximum for its sign-up promo — under the official EEA Referral Program terms rewards vary per campaign, are budget-capped and are never guaranteed.
OKX runs task-based reward campaigns for new users; amounts and eligibility differ by region and change over time. Any figure shown is OKX’s own advertised maximum — always confirm it against the official terms ↗.
Code CCHUB attaches you at sign-up via our join link — reward tasks then appear in your OKX account.
