• Both crypto and cash (fiat) deposits count toward the match

• Deposit as little as $10 to qualify; earn up to 8% on deposits up to $500,000

This matters to you as a user because of what can happen after that date if your exchange doesn't make the cut:

• Your withdrawals could be frozen. When an exchange shuts down EU operations, it often suspends withdrawals during the wind-down process, sometimes for weeks.

• You might get very little warning. Some exchanges might notify affected users with as little as 24 to 48 hours before restricting accounts.

• Customer support may stop responding. Platforms exiting a market typically scale down or redirect support resources away from departing users.

• There's no safety net. Crypto held on an unregulated exchange is not protected by any EU deposit guarantee scheme. If the platform runs into trouble during a wind-down, there is no government-backed protection for your funds.

A MiCA licence isn't a rubber stamp. It comes with concrete obligations that protect your money and your rights as a user.

Under MiCA, licensed exchanges are required to:

• Keep your funds separate from company funds. The exchange cannot use your crypto or cash for its own operations.

• Hold sufficient capital reserves. The platform must maintain reserves to cover its liabilities to customers.

• Be transparent about the assets they offer. Licensed exchanges must publish regulated disclosures for each crypto asset on their platform.

• Answer to a named EU regulator. For OKX in Europe, that's the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA).

OKX EUROPE LTD holds a full licence under MiCA and is authorised to serve users across all 27 EU member states plus Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein.

Think of the deposit match as OKX's way of rewarding users who move their funds to a licensed platform. You're making the right move to transfer your funds to a MiCA licensed exchange, and OKX pays you a bonus in USDC for doing so.

The bonus amount depends on how much you deposit:

Each installment equals 1/26 of your total earned reward. To make it concrete:

• Deposit $5,000 (Tier 1, 5%) → earn 250 USDC total → receive ~9.62 USDC every two weeks

• Deposit $50,000 (Tier 2, 6%) → earn 3,000 USDC total → receive ~115.38 USDC every two weeks

• Deposit $200,000 (Tier 3, 8%) → earn 16,000 USDC total → receive ~615.38 USDC every two weeks

Trading during the payout period does not affect your reward. If the market drops, or you make a loss trading, your bonus payments continue unchanged. The only thing that reduces your reward is withdrawing the originally deposited funds during the 52-week payout period, including transfers to your OKX Pay account, which counts as withdrawals.

1. Download the OKX app on iOS or Android, if you haven't already.

2. Register and complete KYC (identity verification). This is a one-time requirement to use OKX.

3. Opt in to the Deposit Match in the app, then make your first deposit of $10 or more in crypto or cash.

Once you've opted in and deposited, your bonus is locked in. Hold your balance through the payout period and OKX will distribute your rewards automatically, every two weeks.
