  • Users can earn up to 5,000€ in USDC, with rewards distributed across 26 biweekly payments over 12 months.

OKX offers 8% bonus on deposits in the EEA

OKX, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has launched a new Deposit Bonus campaign for users in the European Economic Area (EEA). The promotion allows eligible users to earn an 8% bonus on net deposits, with rewards of up to €5,000 in USDC available per user.

The campaign began on August 6 and runs through August 31, 2026, at 23:59 CEST. To participate, users first need to opt in to the promotion and then deposit at least €10 into their OKX account.

Unlike a typical one-time deposit reward, OKX distributes the bonus gradually. The total reward is split into 26 installments paid once every 14 days over a 12-month period, with the first payout scheduled for September 4.

The bonus depends directly on the user's eligible net deposit. For example:

  • 100€ net deposit: 8€ in USDC
  • 1,000€ net deposit: 80€ in USDC
  • 10,000€ net deposit: 800€ in USDC
  • 62,500€+ net deposit: 5,000€ in USDC, the maximum reward

Deposit on OKX and Earn up to 5,000€ in USDC

Net deposits are calculated based on deposits minus withdrawals during the campaign period. This means users who withdraw funds before the campaign window closes can reduce the amount used to determine their bonus.

There is also an important condition after the promotional period. Users need to maintain the balance associated with their eligible net deposit to continue receiving the biweekly payments. If the balance falls below the required level, subsequent payouts can be paused until the account is topped back up.

Transfers that reduce the eligible account balance can also affect payouts. According to OKX's campaign rules, this includes moving funds to another OKX account or OKX Pay.

However, participating users aren't required to leave the deposited assets completely untouched. OKX says the funds can still be used for trading or allocated to OKX Earn while the bonus is being distributed. There is also no trading-volume requirement to qualify for the promotion.

Users therefore need to complete three main steps to participate:

  1. Opt in to the OKX Deposit Bonus campaign.
  2. Deposit at least 10€ before August 31.
  3. Maintain the qualifying balance to continue receiving the scheduled USDC payouts.

The promotion is available to eligible OKX users in the EEA through both the exchange's website and mobile application.

The bottom line

OKX's latest European promotion gives eligible EEA users an opportunity to earn an 8% bonus on net deposits, up to 5,000€ in USDC. Reaching the maximum reward requires a net deposit of at least 62,500€.

The main distinction compared with a simple deposit bonus is the payout schedule. Instead of receiving the entire reward immediately, qualifying users receive it through 26 payments over the following 12 months and need to maintain their eligible balance to keep receiving payouts.

For users who already intend to hold funds on OKX over a longer period, the campaign can provide an additional USDC incentive without imposing a trading requirement. Users considering the offer should nevertheless account for the balance requirements and 12-month distribution period before depositing funds specifically to qualify for the promotion.
