The Offer
Direct Link to offer (this contains my referral link with a special OKX signup offer, my thanks to anyone who use the link to signup)
Please note: OKX is a crypto platform and is not FDIC-insured. Holding crypto or even stablecoins does include an amount of risk not present in standard FDIC-insured bank account. Do what you are comfortable with.
OKX is offering a special $400 signup bonus offer when using the above signup link:
- Earn $200 in Bitcoin when you deposit $200 and then trade $200 in crypto or stablecoins. Must maintain $200 balance in OKX for 30 days.
- Earn an additional $200 in Bitcoin when you deposit a total of $10,000. Must maintain the $10,000 balance in OKX for 30 days. You can keep the $10,000 in regular US dollars, or you can buy stablecoins (e.g. USDG) or crypto.
The Bitcoin bonus will show up in your account within a few minutes and will be locked for 30 days. After 30 days, you can sell the Bitcoin in the OKX app and transfer the funds to your bank, if you’d like. Note: there is a likelihood of Bitcoin price fluctuations (up or down) during the 30 days, so the actual payout amount will vary based on the market.
The Fine Print
- This $200+$200 signup offer will be valid 12/23/25 – 1/7/26.
- For the initial $200 bonus: Must deposit $200 deposit and trade $200 within 30 days of signing up. And must maintain $200 or more in AUM at OKX for 30 days within the first 90 days.

- Residents of New York, Texas, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands are excluded from signing up for OKX.
- It’s possible there will be a Form 1099 issued for the bonus.
Our Verdict
The publicly available referral link bonus is $100 for the new member, and the old offer (now expired) was $200 for the new member. This $400 offer is a special offer OKX added to my referral link – it matches the old $200 referral signup bonus offer for the initial signup/trade, and it also adds an additional $200 bonus on top for someone who makes a $10,000 deposit and maintains the funds for 30 days. Many readers found the old offer for $200 super easy to do in just a 5-15 minutes and so we thought this $200+$200 offer would be interesting to readers as well.
There are some other deals from OKX which can stack well with this, just be sure to meet the terms of each offer separately:
- Register and get a 5% match on deposits of up to $5,000 for a $250 USDG bonus. That bonus requires holding the funds for 90 days. After signing up, but before making any deposit, first register for the 5% match, then do the $10,000 deposit. Then maintain the $10,000 for 30 days, and then maintain half of it ($5,000) for another 60 days. That should meet the $400 BTC bonus and the $250 USDG bonus for $650 total. (You’ll see this match offer in your OKX app; it ends on 1/5/26. For this offer, you can leave the funds in USD cash or you can buy USDG stablecoin or any other stablecoin or crypto.)
- Register in the OKX app and get 5% APY interest earn on USDG. Instead of holding the $10,000 in regular US dollars, hold it in USDG stablecoin and you’ll get 5% APY interest for as long as you hold the funds in USDG. There is no time limit on this promotion.
- There are some other promos going on for new users which are valid through 1/9/26. Those deals should be able to stack as well. You’ll want to register for those deals before buying any USDG so that the purchase will meet those qualifications. After signing up for OKX, go to the Giftbox tab near the top-right of the Home screen, then scroll down to the box which shows ‘TradingView x OKX’ and then ‘Join’. These offers are only for new users only. I’m not entirely clear, but if I’m reading these offers correctly, it seems like you can get an extra $50 USDG ($25+$25) by trading $10,000 in USDG which you might be doing anyway, as discussed above. Here is the promo link for reference (but you’ll want to access it from within the app to Join, as discussed) and here is a link to the DoC comments where it’s discussed further.
Note again, OKX is a crypto platform and is not FDIC-insured. Holding crypto or even stablecoins does include an amount of risk not present in standard FDIC-insured bank account. As with anything crypto-related, do what you are comfortable with.
