Circle and OKX are expanding USDC liquidity across spot, margin and futures markets, including 10 new USDC spot-margin pairs for eligible European customers covering HYPE, ZEC, LINK, ONDO, ENA, AAVE, NEAR, TRUMP, OKB and BNB. Selected pairs offer up to 10x leverage, with borrowing interest calculated hourly. OKX also launched a Circle-funded USDC Margin Growth Program offering qualifying users 100 USDC monthly if they opt in, hold at least 20,000 USDC in their Trading Account for 17 consecutive days and generate more than 1,000 USDC in single-side volume across eligible markets. The program is capped at 4,000 users monthly on a first-come, first-served basis. The broader relationship includes zero-fee USD-to-USDC conversions introduced in July 2025 and native USDC plus Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol on OKX’s X Layer. Specific additional pairs, timing and regional availability remain undisclosed, and all products depend on user eligibility and local rules.
