OKX will stop spot margin trading in Futures mode

Dear OKX users,

OKX will stop supporting spot margin trading in Futures mode starting at 5:00 pm on November 24, 2026 (UTC+8). The timing may change based on actual conditions.

After this change, you won't be able to open new cross or isolated spot margin positions in Futures mode. If you want to keep trading with spot margin, you can switch to Spot mode, Multi-currency margin mode, or Portfolio margin mode and use spot margin trading in cross margin mode.

Please note:

• If you have existing cross or isolated spot margin positions in Futures mode, they will not be closed automatically. You can close them manually, but you cannot place new orders to open or increase positions.
• If you have unfilled regular spot margin orders meant to open or increase positions in Futures mode, they will be canceled automatically between 15:00 and 16:00 on November 25, 2026 (UTC+8). Strategy orders like TP/SL, trailing stop, iceberg, and TWAP orders will not be canceled automatically. However, if they would open or increase a position when triggered, they will fail. Please check and manage your orders ahead of time.
• This change only affects spot margin trading in Futures mode. Spot trading, perpetual futures, expiry futures, and options trading will remain unaffected.

For API users

• After the change, API users who try to submit orders to open or increase cross or isolated spot margin positions in Futures mode will get an error message saying this feature is no longer supported.
• The relevant error code and message will be included in the upcoming API update notice.

Please manage your open orders and positions ahead of time and adjust your account mode according to your trading needs.

Thank you for your support. OKX is dedicated to providing you with better products and services.
