Amsterdam, June 9, 2026 — OKX, a leading global fintech and crypto exchange platform, today launches 13 new X-Perps markets for traders across Europe, giving individuals direct access to futures on tech stocks from the “Magnificent 7”, four major commodities and the world's largest* indices.
Starting today, OKX European clients can trade futures on Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla, as well as gold, silver, WTI crude oil and Brent. X-Perps SPY and QQQ are also available, providing European users with exposure to the prices of the 500 largest US companies and the 100 largest Nasdaq non-financial stocks, respectively. All markets are open 24/7, with leverage up to x10.
Until now, reacting to a midnight Fed decision or a weekend spike in commodities meant either waiting for markets to open or running a separate brokerage account. X-Perps remove this constraint. The capital remains on OKX — a single account, a single pool — and clients can, for the first time, easily switch their capital from cryptos to these new asset classes, with the same margin, on OKX.
If past performance is no guarantee of future results, the figures explain the appetite. The SPY returned 29% over the past 12 months. The QQQ, by 42%. The largest European ETF has $20 billion in assets under management. The SPY holds 700 billion. For European retail investors, these two indices have remained virtually out of reach, blocked by regulations. X-Perps are the first concrete access route, from a MiFID and MiCA approved platform.
“European traders are sophisticated. They know exactly what moves the markets. They follow company results, Fed decisions, commodity prices and geopolitical events, but they had no way of acting on them. said Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe. “X-Perps solve this problem. One account, all markets, 24/7. And because we are fully regulated, our customers benefit from the protections that come with it. »
“Since May 1, X-Perps trading volume has increased by over 447%. We expect this strong momentum to continue, and potentially accelerate, as we expand our product offerings,” added Erald Ghoos.
OKX holds all MiCA, MiFID II and payment institution licenses in Europe, with a European passport covering all EEA member states, allowing regulated exposure to these assets. The MiCA transition period ends on July 1, 2026, meaning that unlicensed exchanges will no longer be able to offer crypto services to customers in the EEA.
