Today, holding dollars often means limited financial gains. We believe that your money should work harder for you.

Therefore, we have launched a new solution for global users through OKX Pay, offering up to 10% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for USDG deposits. Your first 10,000 USDG can earn a 10% APY, with anything above that amount earning a 5% APY. Over the course of a year, the initial 10,000 USDG can earn you up to 1,000 USDG, with each additional 10,000 USDG earning an extra 500 USDG.

USDG is a fully collateralized, USD-pegged stablecoin that allows you to earn returns while keeping your funds accessible for trading at any time. No longer will your funds sit idle, missing out on market opportunities. This is a limited-time early bird offer: the first 10,000 USDG can earn up to a 10% APY, yielding up to 1,000 USDG in annual returns. This USDG yield program is part of OKX's various earning methods, ranging from automatic rewards in the trading account to on-chain rewards on the X Layer.

These three options provide you with true autonomy: whether you seek instant liquidity, passive income, or on-chain flexibility, all with the reliable and secure ecosystem of OKX.

Three Easy Ways to Earn with USDG

OKX Pay

Deposits up to $10,000 USDG will earn up to 10% APY, with amounts exceeding this threshold earning a 5% APY. Simply transfer your USDG from your exchange account to OKX Pay, or directly convert other stablecoins to USDG on OKX Pay. Rewards grow daily and are distributed automatically every Monday.

OKX Exchange

By holding USDG in your OKX exchange account, you can automatically earn up to 3.85% APY, available on both the web and app versions. Rewards are distributed weekly without any additional steps required.

OKX Wallet

Link your OKX exchange account to the OKX Wallet to earn up to 3.85% APY on-chain. Rewards accrue daily and can be claimed weekly. With no lock-up period and no complex procedures, your USDG remains tradable, transferable, or usable at all times while steadily earning returns.

USDG on OKX: Simple, Transparent, and Flexible

USDG is designed to make your digital dollars work more efficiently for you — securely and seamlessly within the OKX ecosystem.

• Fund Flexibility: Earn rewards while using USDG for trading, staking, and transfers at any time.

• Zero Fee Swaps: Freely swap between USDT, USDC, and USDG with no additional fees.

• Multi-Chain Support: USDG can be used on Ethereum (ERC-20), Solana (SPL), and X Layer.

By using USDG on OKX, you have full control over how your funds earn rewards and where they go.

USDG's Unique Advantages

USDG is issued by Paxos Digital Singapore Pte. Ltd. in Singapore and is a major payment institution licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). It operates under a clear regulatory framework for a single-currency stablecoin, emphasizing security and transparency:

• 1:1 Asset Backing: Each USDG is fully backed by a reserve of dollars.

• Fund Segregation: User assets are strictly separated from operational funds.

• Independent Audits: The reserve undergoes monthly third-party independent verification.

• Clear Redemption Rights: Holders can directly redeem USDG for US dollar fiat.

This structure provides users with a regulated, transparent stablecoin option — combining the convenience of traditional stablecoins with enhanced trust and accountability.

Built for Open Access

USDG can be used on multiple public blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and X Layer, with plans to integrate more networks in the future. Its open-source smart contract is publicly verifiable and has undergone independent audits, offering security and predictability for users and developers. This multi-chain architecture allows USDG to be freely used in various applications within and outside the DeFi platforms, Wallets, and the OKX ecosystem, enabling true open circulation and efficient utilization of assets.

OKX's Unique Advantages

OKX's USDG project has always revolved around a core principle: providing users with choice and confidence. Whether you want to earn yields through OKX Pay, hold on the OKX exchange, or use it on-chain directly, you can enjoy transparent earnings, regulated protection, and the flexibility to move your funds at any time. In the current market environment, reliability is more important than hype. OKX is driving the crypto world's transformation from the so-called "Wild West" to the "Mild West" — where transparency and choice become the new standard. OKX and USDG offer you a smarter, more reliable way to hold, earn, and use funds.

On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading

In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.

As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.

The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy Trading

For elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.

To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.

The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.

By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.

Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× Leverage

In a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.

Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.

This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.

A Mature Foundation for Growth

The synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
