How do I sign up for Block Trading by OKX?
First you'll need an OKX account. For information on how to apply for an account on OKX, please read here. Once you have your account, signing up to use Block Trading by OKX couldn't be more simple! First, deposit fiat or crypto so that you meet the minimum asset requirement of $200,000. You can find a helpful explainer here. Then, navigate to the "Block Trading" option in the "Trading" menu on the top bar. This will bring you to the welcome page, where the first button is to "Start Trading". As long as you meet the minimum requirements, clicking here will automatically register you as a Taker so you can start submitting RFQs and execute your first block trade!
As we expect our Makers to have sufficient assets and sophistication to be able to provide legitimate, timely, and competitive quotes, we thoroughly vet potential Makers before accepting them to the platform. To sign up as a Maker, please reach out to your account manager if you already have an account, or fill in the form here if you are a new user interested in making markets. If we think you're a viable candidate, our team will reach out to you to guide you through the process.
Do I need to make any changes to my account before using Block Trading by OKX?
Aside from meeting the minimum asset requirement, no changes to your existing account are required! We support all account modes, local currencies, and margin methods. Please be aware though that trades on Block Trading by OKX will be submitted using Net mode by default, regardless of your selection from other venues at OKX.
