- A referral payback — through loweef's OKX partnership, the current combined total is 50% of every trading fee, credited daily in USDT from the first trade, with no volume minimum. What the OKX referral code actually does →

Frequently asked questions
Does OKX charge the same fee for spot and futures?

Is there a minimum trading volume to get the OKX payback?
No. Unlike VIP tiers, the payback applies from the first trade at any size — it's a percentage of the fee you paid, not a volume threshold.

No — OKX's published rate stays the same. The payback returns 50% of what you already paid, separate from OKX's own fee schedule.
