OKX Cypto Account $400-$500 Signup Bonus

Update 7/29/26: If you signup for OKX with a referral link you can get $400-$500 bonus for depositing and trading. The exact requirements of the new user bonus sometimes changes. I believe these are the updated details:

• The referral offer for the new member is to get $400 in Bitcoin when you: 1) sign up and verify, 2) deposit $2k, and 3) trade $20k in crypto (non-stablecoins). For example, it should work to deposit $10k, then buy around $10k Bitcoin and then immediately sell it for a total trade volume of $20k. Or you can deposit $2k and then do a number of buy/sell transactions until you hit $20k in trades. Be sure to read up first on how to limit your losses when doing the buy/sell.  Here is our referral thread for the $400 offer.
• There’s a signup link which offers $500 in Bitcoin after you sign up, then deposit and trade $30k of crypto (non-stablecoin). For example, it should work to deposit $30k, then buy around $15k Bitcoin and then immediately sell it for a total trade volume of $30k. Be sure to read up first on how to limit your losses when doing the buy/sell. Here is the offer link.
• Note: requirements must be completed within 7 days of signup.

Update 3/9/26: The $400 offer is expired. The current signup offer is $200 in Bitcoin for the new member who signs up using my referral link and then trades $500 or more – here is my referral link. (You can buy $500 in stablecoin like USDG and get the $200 bonus.)

The Offer

Please note: OKX is a crypto platform and is not FDIC-insured. Holding crypto or even stablecoin includes 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 link to signup for a new OKX account:

• Earn $200 USDG when you deposit $200 and then trade $200 in stablecoin (e.g. USDG) or crypto. Must maintain $200 balance in OKX for 30 days. 
• Earn an additional $200 USDG 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 stablecoin (e.g. USDG) or crypto.

The USDG 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 USDG stablecoin in the OKX app and transfer the funds to your bank, if you’d like.

Be sure that the referral code is correctly applied to your account signup. It should auto-populate when using the referral link. See this screenshot of how it will look when the referral code is applied. When using a mobile browser, select ‘Having trouble getting the app’ and then select ‘sign up on web’. This will enable you to ensure the ensure the referral code is applied properly, as in this screenshot.

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.
• For the additional $200 bonus: Must additionally deposit $10,000 within 30 days of signup. And must maintain $10,000 or more in AUM at OKX for 30 days within the first 90 days. 
• Both $200 awards are issued in USDG. Reward is issued immediately and will be locked for 30 days until qualification is met. 
• 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 $200 offer 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. A lot of people got the $200 bonus by depositing $200 into OKX and then buying $200 of USDG stablecoin. Someone who wants to get the full $400 must deposit $10,000 and keep it there for 30 days. (There is a $5,000 daily deposit limit of cash, and you’ll have to break it into two $5,000 deposits.)

There are some other deals from OKX which can stack well with this, just be sure to meet the terms of each offer separately:

• Get 5% APY interest earned automatically on USDG held in OKX. 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.
• Expired 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 USDG 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.)
• Expired 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 stablecoin includes a risk not present in standard FDIC-insured bank account. As with anything crypto-related, go with your comfort level in terms of whether to sign up and how much to fund your account. 

Update History:

• Update 1/9/26 (10:36am ET): the signup bonus on my referral link ended a few moments ago. (Those who signed up prior have 30 days from signup to meet the qualifications for the bonus.) 
• Update 1/8/26: The $200 USDG + $200 USDG bonus offer is expired – the second $200 bonus with $10k deposit is no longer being offered. Those who signed up January 7th and prior have 30 days from signup to meet the qualifications for the $200 USDG + $200 USDG bonuses. The new bonus via referral link is still mostly the same for basic signup: get a $200 reward for signing up, depositing $200, and then trading $200 in crypto or stablecoin. The difference now is that the $200 reward is paid out in Bitcoin instead of USDG. Note: you are subject to Bitcoin price fluctuations for 30 days while the reward is locked. (If you’re in 2-player mode you’ll do better referring your second-player rather than using my referral link.)
• Update 1/7/26: The $200 USDG + $200 USDG bonus offer will end tonight at 11:59pm PT. (Starting January 8th, the bonus will be $200 Bitcoin for signing up, and will not have the option for a second $200 deposit bonus.)
• Update 12/31/25: Minor tweak/improvement to the offer: The reward is now paid out as USDG stablecoin instead of BTC for those who sign up starting now until the end of the signup offer period (1/7/26). Updated below.
