Starting May 21, 2025, at 18:00 (UTC+8), OKX will officially introduce ORDI/USDT leveraged trading, Savings support for ORDI, and the ORDIUSDT perpetual contract across its web platform, mobile app, and API interface. This expansion enhances trading flexibility and investment opportunities for users interested in ORDI, a rapidly growing asset in the decentralized asset space. Below is a comprehensive overview of the new features, trading parameters, and benefits.
Enhanced Leverage Trading & Flexible Savings Options

ORDI is now available for margin trading against USDT, enabling traders to amplify their exposure using leverage. This feature allows both bullish and bearish strategies with increased capital efficiency.
Key details:
- Trading Pair: ORDI/USDT (margin)
- Leverage Tiers: Variable based on position size — users can view real-time tier information directly on the platform after launch.
- Risk Management: Margin requirements and liquidation thresholds follow standard OKX protocols designed to protect traders during volatile market conditions.

ORDI in Savings: Earn Yield on Idle Assets
Holders can now deposit ORDI into the OKX Savings product — formerly known as “Yu Bibao” — to earn competitive interest rates on idle holdings. This feature promotes asset utilization without requiring active trading.
- Flexible Terms: No lock-up periods; withdraw anytime.
- Dynamic APY: Interest rates are adjusted based on market demand and liquidity needs.
- Security First: All deposits are managed under OKX’s robust custodial infrastructure.
Users are encouraged to monitor the OKX Savings Rules page for updated allocation limits and rate changes following the launch.
ORDIUSDT Perpetual Contract: Key Specifications
The ORDIUSDT perpetual contract offers advanced traders a powerful instrument for speculative, hedging, and arbitrage strategies. Built on OKX’s high-performance derivatives engine, it supports deep liquidity and tight spreads.
Core Contract Parameters
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Underlying Index | ORDI/USDT |
| Settlement Currency | USDT |
| Contract Size | 0.1 ORDI per contract |
| Price Quotation | USD value of 1 ORDI |
| Tick Size | 0.001 USDT |
| Maximum Leverage | Up to 75x |
| Trading Hours | 24/7 |
Funding Rate Mechanism
To maintain price alignment between the perpetual contract and the spot market, OKX employs a dynamic funding rate model:
Funding Rate Formula:
Clamp(MA(((Bid + Ask)/2 - Index Price)/Index Price - Interest), −0.75%, 0.75%)
Where Interest = 0
This ensures that prolonged deviations from fair value are corrected efficiently while capping extreme fluctuations.
Special Adjustment During Launch Phase
Due to potential volatility during initial trading, the following temporary measure applies:
- From Launch to May 21, 2025, 24:00 (UTC+8): Predicted funding rate capped at 0.03%
- After May 21, 2025, 24:00 (UTC+8): Cap increases to 1.50%, with the first actual charge applied on May 22, 2025, at 16:00 (UTC+8)
This phased approach minimizes unfair cost burdens during early price discovery.
All other trading rules — including order types, liquidation logic, and insurance mechanisms — align with existing USDT-margined perpetual contracts. For complete guidance, refer to the Perpetual Swap User Agreement.
Why These Features Matter for Traders
The integration of ORDI across multiple financial products reflects its rising prominence in the blockchain ecosystem. As a token tied to Bitcoin-based ordinal inscriptions — a novel form of digital collectibles — ORDI has attracted significant attention from NFT enthusiasts and speculative investors alike.
By offering leveraged spot trading, yield-bearing savings, and high-leverage derivatives, OKX enables users to engage with ORDI through diverse financial lenses:
- Short-term traders benefit from up to 75x leverage and tight tick sizes for precise entries.
- Long-term holders maximize returns via passive income in the Savings module.
- Algorithmic and arbitrage traders leverage perpetual contracts to exploit pricing inefficiencies across markets.

These capabilities underscore OKX’s commitment to delivering comprehensive, user-centric financial infrastructure in the evolving crypto landscape.
