Expanded Margin Trading and Savings Features
OKX continues to strengthen its margin trading infrastructure by adding support for AIDOGE/USDT and PEPE/USDT spot margin pairs. This allows users to borrow funds to increase their trading positions, potentially amplifying returns — though traders should always remain mindful of associated risks due to leverage.
Key Updates:
- New Margin Pairs: AIDOGE/USDT, PEPE/USDT
- Tiered Margin Ratios: Risk levels and borrowing capacities will follow OKX’s established tier system. Users can review detailed margin tiers after the official listing via the Margin Borrowing Position Tiers page.
- Savings Limits: Deposit limits and interest accrual rules for AIDOGE and PEPE savings will be available post-launch under the Business Rules for Savings.
These additions reflect the rising interest in community-driven tokens and provide users with more flexibility in managing their digital asset strategies.

Special Funding Rate Adjustment at Launch
To ensure a stable launch environment, OKX will implement a temporary cap on the funding rate for both AIDOGE and PEPE perpetual swaps.
- Before 16:00 UTC on May 3: The maximum predicted funding rate will be limited to 0.03% to prevent volatility during initial trading.
- After 16:00 UTC on May 3: The cap will revert to the standard maximum of 1.50%.
- The first funding fee settlement will occur at 8:00 AM UTC on May 4.
This measure helps protect traders from unexpected costs during the early stages when market premiums may fluctuate significantly.
