Starting March 13, 2025, users can access the AEVOUSDT perpetual contract across all platforms—web, mobile app, and API—unlocking new strategic possibilities in the evolving derivatives market. Just one day later, on March 14, AEVO/USDT leveraged trading and Simple Earn staking options went live, further expanding accessibility and utility for crypto investors.
This integration marks a significant milestone for both OKX and the AEVO ecosystem, reinforcing OKX’s commitment to delivering innovative, high-performance trading products that align with real user demand.
Leveraged Trading & Simple Earn: Enhanced Flexibility for AEVO Holders
Leverage opens the door to amplified exposure without requiring full capital outlay—ideal for traders seeking to optimize returns in volatile markets. With the launch of AEVO/USDT leveraged trading, OKX enables users to borrow funds to take long or short positions, increasing potential gains (and managing associated risks).
Key Features of AEVO Leverage Trading
- Available Pair: AEVO/USDT
- Multi-platform Access: Available on web, iOS, Android, and via API
- Tiered Margin System: Leverage tiers are dynamically structured based on position size and risk parameters. Users should review the updated “Leverage Borrowing Position Tiers” guide post-launch for precise borrowing limits and maintenance margin ratios.
- Risk Management Tools: Built-in liquidation safeguards, real-time margin monitoring, and automatic alerts help users stay in control.
Additionally, OKX introduces Simple Earn for AEVO, allowing holders to generate passive income by staking their tokens. This low-barrier earning option is perfect for long-term believers who want to grow their holdings without active trading.
While exact yield rates and total allocation caps may vary at launch, users are encouraged to check the official OKX Simple Earn Rules page for real-time updates on availability and APY.
AEVOUSDT Perpetual Contract: A Deep Dive
Perpetual contracts have become a cornerstone of modern crypto trading due to their flexibility, liquidity, and 24/7 availability. The newly listed AEVOUSDT perpetual contract brings institutional-grade trading mechanics to retail and professional traders alike.
Core Specifications
- Underlying Index: AEVO/USDT
- Settlement Currency: USDT
- Contract Value: 1 AEVO per contract
- Price Quotation: Based on the USDT price of 1 AEVO
- Minimum Price Movement (Tick Size): 0.001 USDT
- Leverage Range: Adjustable from 0.01x up to 50x
- Trading Hours: 7×24 continuous trading
Funding Rate Mechanism
To maintain price alignment between the perpetual contract and the spot market, OKX employs a transparent funding fee model:
Funding Fee Formula:
Clamp(MA[((Bid + Ask) / 2 – Spot Index Price) / Spot Index Price – Interest], -0.75%, +0.75%)
(Where Interest Rate = 0)
Fees are exchanged between longs and shorts every 8 hours (at 00:00, 08:00, and 16:00 UTC+8), ensuring fair cost distribution.
Special Launch Period Adjustment
Due to potential volatility during initial trading phases:
- Until March 14, 2025, 00:00 (UTC+8): Funding rate calculation is capped at ±0.03%
- Afterward: Cap reverts to standard maximum of ±1.50%
- First actual collection occurs at March 14, 2025, 08:00 (UTC+8)
This temporary measure protects traders from extreme funding fluctuations during early adoption.
All other trading rules—including order types, position modes, and liquidation logic—align with existing USDT-margined perpetual contracts on OKX. For full details, refer to the OKX Perpetual Contracts User Guide.
