OKX futures contracts are categorized based on the margin currency. They include Crypto-margined futures, USDT-margined futures, and USDC-margined futures. Crypto-margined futures are quoted in USD. The underlying cryptocurrency (such as BTC or ETH) is used as both the collateral asset and the settlement currency for calculating profits and losses. USDT-margined futures are quoted in USDT. USDT is used as both the collateral asset and the settlement currency for calculating profits and losses.Published on 20 Mar 2023Updated on 20 Apr 2026FAQ203What is Leverage, Futures and Margin?
See How to adjust your leverage levels and How to trade perpetual futures on OKX for guidance.How much can I lose from trading futures? When trading futures, your maximum possible loss is all of your collateral. This is different from spot trading, where losses are bounded by the asset's price movement. In a leveraged futures position, if the market moves past your margin threshold, the exchange will liquidate your position and your full collateral can be lost.Published on 9 Apr 2026Updated on 9 Apr 2026FAQOKX to delist futures for AVAXUSD
