The cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, with innovative projects like RSS3 and UMEE gaining traction for their unique contributions to decentralized infrastructure and blockchain interoperability. In a significant move to support these emerging digital assets, OKX has announced the activation of key trading and financial services for both tokens.
Starting at 7:00 AM UTC on February 24, 2025, OKX will officially enable margin trading, savings programs, and USDT-margined perpetual swaps for RSS3 and UMEE. This integration marks a major milestone for traders and investors seeking enhanced exposure and flexibility with these next-generation blockchain assets.
These updates will be fully available across all platforms — including the web interface, mobile app, and API — ensuring seamless access for both retail and institutional users.
Expanded Trading Capabilities: Margin and Savings
With this upgrade, OKX is empowering users with advanced financial tools designed to maximize capital efficiency and earning potential.
Spot Margin Trading Activation
OKX will activate spot margin trading for the following trading pairs:
- RSS3/USDT
- UMEE/USDT
This allows traders to borrow funds to increase their position size, potentially amplifying returns (while also increasing risk). The tiered margin ratios — which determine borrowing limits based on account equity and risk level — will be viewable directly on the platform after launch via the Margin Borrowing Position Tiers page.

Savings Opportunities for Passive Income
Holders of RSS3 and UMEE can now grow their holdings through OKX’s Savings program, allowing users to earn interest by staking their assets. This feature is ideal for long-term investors who want to generate yield without active trading.
Specific interest rates and maximum subscription limits will be published on the platform upon listing. Users are encouraged to review the updated Business Rules for Savings for full details.
Perpetual Swap Contracts Now Live
In addition to spot and margin functionality, OKX is launching USDT-margined perpetual swap contracts for both RSS3 and UMEE. These derivatives offer traders continuous exposure to price movements without expiry dates, making them a preferred instrument for speculative and hedging strategies.

Special Funding Rate Adjustment at Launch
To ensure market stability during the initial phase of trading, OKX will implement a temporary cap on the predicted funding rate:
- Before 4:00 PM UTC on February 24, 2025: Maximum predicted funding rate limited to 0.03%
- After 4:00 PM UTC: Returns to the standard cap of ±0.75%
This precaution helps prevent excessive volatility or unfair funding charges during early adoption when premiums may fluctuate unpredictably.
The first funding fee settlement will occur at 8:00 AM UTC on February 25, 2025, based on the rates accrued during this period.
All perpetual swap price limit rules align with existing standards on OKX. For comprehensive guidance on contract specifications and trading mechanics, users can refer to the official documentation.

Why This Matters: The Rise of RSS3 and UMEE
RSS3 is redefining decentralized information indexing by providing an open protocol for real-time data distribution across blockchains and applications. Its focus on decentralized social networks and content discovery makes it a cornerstone for Web3 innovation.
UMEE, on the other hand, is a cross-chain borrowing and lending protocol that enables users to borrow one cryptocurrency while repaying in another across different blockchains. This unique feature reduces exposure to asset volatility and enhances capital mobility in a fragmented ecosystem.
By listing these tokens with full margin, savings, and derivatives support, OKX is not only expanding user choice but also validating the growing importance of infrastructure-level blockchain projects.
