OKX opens onchain spot and perps beta with 250K USDT reward pool

OKX wants you to trade onchain perpetuals before you risk a single dollar. The exchange has opened a public beta for onchain spot and perpetual trading, and it is paying people to try it. The hook is a points competition sharing a 250,000 USDT reward pool with OKX’s prediction market product, Outcomes. How the beta works The beta went live on October 15, 2026, through OKX’s ExchangeOS platform. Users reach it directly inside the OKX app. Eligible users do not trade with real capital. They trade with XP points, a simulated balance that cannot be withdrawn. Those XP trades feed into a competition that also includes OKX Outcomes League Season 3. The two products share the same combined 250,000 USDT prize pool. Participants are ranked on separate leaderboards based on profit-and-loss, or PnL. One track measures onchain trading performance. The other measures prediction market results. The top 5,000 PnL participants will split $60,000 from the reward pool. Leaderboard formats also include Gameweek and Earnings Season. The contest is set to wrap around November 14-15, 2026. Once it ends, OKX plans to introduce funded trading with actual money. The beta is not available to everyone. Users...
