OKX Slashes VIP Entry Requirements - New Program Opens Elite Trading to More Users

OKX just tore up the VIP rulebook. The exchange's revamped program dramatically lowers barriers to premium trading tiers—making elite benefits accessible to smaller portfolios.

Democratizing Premium Access

Gone are the days of seven-figure minimums. The updated structure welcomes traders who previously watched from the sidelines. Reduced thresholds mean more users qualify for lower fees, personalized service, and exclusive market insights.

Strategic Move in Competitive Market

This isn't altruism—it's acquisition. By expanding VIP eligibility, OKX targets volume from mid-sized traders across rival platforms. Because in crypto, loyalty lasts as long as your last trade's fee structure.

While Wall Street still charges astronomical sums for 'exclusive' access, crypto exchanges are racing in the opposite direction—proving once again that traditional finance would rather protect margins than serve clients.

Special campaign for new users

From 22 August to 21 September 2025, OKX is running a promotion that allows new users to test VIP status and evaluate its benefits. To take part, you need to:

• join the promotional campaign on the official website;
• complete tasks and reach a certain trading volume.

For the duration of the promo campaign, the requirement for the last item is reduced by 70%, the release said. Participants who reach a trading volume of 15 million USDT or more will be able to receive a VIP 1 trial level for 30 days, a trading bonus of 200 USDT, and a 1-month subscription to TradingView Premium.

The full list of rewards includes:

• VIP access for 30 days with all benefits;
• up to 3200 USDT in trading bonuses;
• tradingView Premium subscriptions.

VIP upgrade for existing users

OKX has a separate offer for registered traders — VIP Upgrade. Members can obtain VIP status with an entry threshold reduced by 87.5 per cent.

The release gives as an example a user with a deposit of 50,000 USDT or more. With the new offer, he will be able to get VIP level 1 for 30 days, as well as a TradingView Premium subscription for a month and a 10% increase in the interest rate of the smart arbitrage bot.

To participate, you need to:

• join on the campaign page;
• complete deposit and retention tasks.

The list of rewards includes:

• VIP access for 30 days with all benefits;
• additional 10% to the APR of the smart arbitrage bot;
• exclusive APR at VIP 5 level for Double Investments.

OKX’s updated VIP programme opens up new horizons for traders of all levels, and exclusive campaigns provide an opportunity to experience the benefits of VIP status and receive rewards, the company said.
