OKEx BTC Trading Options Get Praised By Crypto Community

The OKEx BTC trading options as the largest spot and futures exchange platform were opened to the public after they were developed in-house for months. The platform went live on Thursday (January 9, 2020) and it turned out to be a great success even though it was only an invite-only trading phase. In our latest blockchain news, we take a closer look at what the crypto community had to say.

OKEx has become the only exchange that offers C2C, futures, spot, perpetual swap and options trading on a single platform. The OKEx BTC trading option is also among the rare options that a crypto exchange offers. This feature will provide a much faster and robust trading infrastructure that will not only support the buy option but will support the write options for enhanced trading flexibility and transparency. It will also implement a sophisticated risk management system that will shot the prices and short qualification rules. The platform contributed about 150 BTC for the BTCUSD option insurance funds. The CEO of the exchange Jay Hao said:

We have always been excited about bringing a faster, more stable and robust infrastructure to the crypto community.
