Updated with lower USDG earn rate and lower 4% deposit bonus. Also, check if any of your past bonuses are unlocked. Crypto exchange OKX is currently offering a few different bonuses which may be stackable. Details below.

New customers: $200 referral bonus Should auto-populate the promo code 79795662. That’s mine, thanks if you use it. Details below. New and existing customers: 4% Deposit Match for all deposits of at least $10 (max $2,000 on $50,000 deposit). 24 week hold period to get full deposit match, paid out every 14 days. Details below. New and existing customers: 3.5% APY on USDG (stablecoin) New and existing customers: Free crypto via X Drops Club. Must maintain a $1,000+ portfolio of crypto (cash, USDC, USDT and USDG stablecoin does not count). BTC, ETH do count. You must also “join” each airdrop before the window closes. More details here and here.

1. $200 New customer bonus details. For new OKX customers:

Sign up via special referral link. I think they allow either smartphone or browser sign-up, but identity verification may be easier on a smartphone. That’s my referral link, which should auto-populate with the promo code 79795662. Thanks if you use it! Complete identity verification (driver’s license and smartphone selfie). $200 BTC Bonus if you deposit $200+ of either cash (link bank account via Plaid) or crypto within 30 days, trade that $200 or more of crypto (can purchase stablecoin like USDG), and hold the assets for at least 30 days within a 90-day period. After 90 days, the bonus will be tradable and withdrawable. Stablecoins such as USDG, USDT, and USDC qualify for deposit, trading volume, and AUM holding requirements.

2. 4% Deposit Match

OKX is running a 4% bonus match on new deposits (minimum $10 and maximum $50,000). You must hold for 24 weeks to get the full 4%, but it is paid out gradually every 14 days (2 weeks). You still keep liquidity and can withdraw your deposits at any time, but you lose the match. Must opt in *first* by March 23rd, 2026, and then make the deposit. Look for this offer in app. Full terms.

3. OKX is also paying 3.5% APY on USDG deposits currently. This dropped from 5% on 3/2/26. USDG stablecoin is not FDIC-insured. They claim to be fully backed by US Treasury Bills with monthly audits and regulated by Singapore, but I still plan to withdraw my USDG out into a real FDIC-insured bank as soon as the holding period is over. This is a short-term play for me; I’m in for the stacking bonus duration and then I’m out.

4. X Drops Club is a recurring rewards program with automatic daily drops that scale with a user’s eligible crypto balance. Must maintain $1,000+ in eligible crypto assets (excluding fiat, USDC, USDT, and USDG).

Please perform your own due diligence on crypto apps. They are still not regulated on the same level as bank account or brokerage accounts. The bonuses are bigger, but there is added platform risk with crypto apps that are not FDIC or SIPC-insured. I don’t like to keep significant funds in there any longer than is required for the bonus to clear, and I only do short-term deals.

Here is the OKX Wikipedia page and they are profiled in the Forbes article “The World’s Most Trustworthy Crypto Exchanges”. (Also see: Kraken and Gemini bonuses.)

Note: OKX does not allow customers to be individuals residing in New York, Texas, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands.
