OKX: what can I use in the United Kingdom?
How am I serviced as a United Kingdom (UK) customer?
UK customers are provided with services by Aux Cayes FinTech Co. Ltd., a company registered in Seychelles.
How can I access derivatives and margin-related products?
We don't offer crypto derivatives like futures, perpetuals, or options to retail customers in the UK due to strict Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules that banned these products for retail investors. UK users on our platform can typically only access spot trading, fiat on/off ramps, and simpler conversion tools.
