(New users: remember to register via the referral link SJCOINTRADE to be eligible for the new-user bonuses!)

May Boost: Earn 60,000 USDT in Exclusive Rewards

Campaign Period: May 2, 2025 03:00 UTC – June 1, 2025 23:59 UTC

The May Boost campaign is an exclusive trading promotion for new users (affiliate invitees) where participants can unlock a treasure trove of rewards by trading on OKX. By completing the required trading tasks, users stand to receive high-value prizes such as an iPhone 16 Pro Max (512GB), an iPad Pro 11″, an Apple Watch Series 10, plus cryptocurrency rewards in USDT and ETH, and even trading bonuses. Each user can accumulate rewards worth up to 60,000 USDT in total!

How to Participate & Rewards:

• Join the Campaign: Click the “Join Now” button on the May Boost event page to enroll. (Only users who registered via the affiliate link are eligible for this campaign.)
• First Trade Mystery Box: Make a first trade of at least 150 USDT on OKX. Upon doing so, you will immediately receive a mystery box reward worth up to 100 USDT in BTC. This is a guaranteed bonus for completing the initial trade requirement.
• Trade More, Earn More: Continue trading to unlock additional rewards. The more you trade during the campaign period, the more prize boxes you can claim – stacking up to that 60,000 USDT maximum reward per user. Higher trading volumes increase your chances of obtaining the top prizes (such as the iPhone 16 Pro Max, larger USDT/ETH rewards, etc.). Each milestone reached in trading volume yields another reward voucher.
• Top Trader Bonus: On top of the regular rewards, the top 3 users by cumulative trading volume in this campaign will each receive a TradingView Premium annual subscription (worth approximately $599). This is a bonus prize for the most active traders in the event.

Eligibility note: This event is exclusive to new users who signed up via the affiliate link (invite code). Participants must not have made any trades on OKX prior to the campaign. KYC verification is required (new users should complete identity verification within 7 days of registering to claim the mystery box and other prizes). Ensure your OKX account is fully verified and that you see “Enrolled” after clicking join.

Spring Bot Mastery: 100,000 USDT Bot Trading Challenge

Campaign Period: April 21, 2025 00:00 UTC – May 20, 2025 23:59 UTC

The Spring Bot Mastery event is a special promotion aimed at encouraging users to explore OKX’s automated trading bots. This campaign offers a total prize pool of 100,000 USDT (in various rewards) for eligible participants who try out trading bots and complete bot-related tasks. It’s an excellent opportunity for first-time bot users: not only can you earn crypto rewards (including newly listed tokens) and trading bonuses, but OKX will also protect you from losses on your very first bot trade under certain conditions!

Key Features & How to Participate:

• Loss Protection Voucher for New Bot Traders: If you’re new to trading bots, OKX has you covered. Launch your first Futures Grid Bot using one of the default presets (supported trading pairs include BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, or SOL/USDT) and you’ll receive a loss protection voucher. If your bot doesn’t turn a profit by the end of the campaign (by May 27, 2025), any losses it incurred (up to a certain amount) will be reimbursed to you. **Note:** To qualify, you must use the default recommended settings for the bot without any manual modifications.
• Complete Bot Tasks for Rewards: Beyond the first bot trade, you can earn additional rewards by completing various trading bot tasks during the campaign period. For each task you complete, you’ll receive a redemption voucher that can be exchanged for rewards. Each user can earn up to 7 such vouchers (i.e., there are multiple tasks/goals you can achieve). Rewards include crypto tokens and trading bonuses. Notably, some of the tokens being given out are newly listed or special tokens – for example, participants can earn tokens like Pi (PI), PENGU (from the Pudgy Penguins project), and Kaito (KAITO) through these vouchers, among others.
• All Trading Bots Count: The campaign is not limited to a single bot type after the first task. You can use any of OKX’s trading bots to fulfill the tasks – whether it’s Spot Grid, Futures Grid, DCA bot, Arbitrage bot, etc. The idea is to explore and “master” the range of trading bots available. As soon as you complete a bot task (for example, running a bot for a certain duration or achieving a profit target), you get the corresponding reward instantly.

Eligibility note: This event is intended for users who have never used OKX’s trading bots before (first-time bot users). Like other new-user campaigns, it’s limited to those who registered via the affiliate link (invite code) and have completed advanced KYC (Level 2 verification) on their account. Make sure to click “Join Now” on the Spring Bot Mastery event page before you start running the bots so that your participation is counted. Only your main account activity counts (sub-accounts are not eligible for this promotion).

WalletConnect Token (WCT) Trade & Earn Campaign

Campaign Period: April 15, 2025 11:00 UTC – April 29, 2025 23:59 UTC

The WalletConnect Trade & Earn campaign celebrates the introduction of WalletConnect Token (WCT) on OKX. This promotion is open to both new and existing users, offering a chance to earn a share of 1,200,000 $WCT through various activities: new user sign-ups, trading, and referrals. The prize pool is divided into three parts to reward different categories of participants, as outlined below:

• [For New Users] 840,000 $WCT Pool: New users who register and complete all the required steps during the campaign period can claim a one-time reward of 50 WCT tokens. This reward is limited to the first 16,800 eligible new sign-ups who fulfill the conditions (first-come, first-served). To qualify, you must be a new user (no prior trades on OKX before enrollment) and complete the tasks such as making a minimum deposit and a trade in WCT (see below). Once you meet the criteria, the 50 WCT bonus is credited to your account instantly.
• [For All Users] 240,000 $WCT Pool: All OKX users (including existing users) can participate in this portion. To earn a share of the 240k WCT prize pool, you need to deposit at least 100 USDT (or equivalent, in any cryptocurrency) into your OKX account and trade at least 300 USDT worth of WCT during the campaign. Users who meet these requirements will split the 240,000 WCT pool proportional to their WCT trading volume (relative to others who qualified). The more you trade WCT (beyond the 300 USDT minimum), the larger your share of the pool will be. These rewards will be calculated and distributed after the event ends (within about 14 working days).
• [Referral Bonus] 120,000 $WCT Pool: You can also earn WCT by inviting friends to OKX during the campaign. For each friend you refer who signs up and meets the eligibility (likely completes KYC and perhaps a deposit/trade requirement), you will get 50 WCT as a referral reward. You can refer up to 5 friends for this promotion, for a maximum of 250 WCT earned via referrals. This portion is capped at a total of 120,000 WCT, given out on a first-come-first-served basis. Referral rewards will be distributed within 14 days after the campaign period ends.

All participants must click “Join Now” on the campaign landing page to be counted, and complete the necessary steps before April 29 deadline. Standard terms apply: you need to be in a supported region (non-restricted jurisdiction) and have your account KYC-verified to be eligible for any rewards. OKX will credit the token rewards to winners’ accounts once the event is over (immediate for new user bonus, delayed distribution for pooled rewards).

Affiliate Sign-Up Bonus (Referral Registration)

Ongoing Offer: (No fixed end date – this is the continual referral program for new sign-ups)

The final “event” is not a limited-time campaign but rather the essential gateway to all of the above promotions: the OKX Affiliate Sign-Up Bonus. By registering through the special referral link SJCOINTRADE, new users become eligible for exclusive welcome rewards and all affiliate-only events. Here’s what this entails:

• When you join OKX via the invite link, you may receive a welcome bonus (often in the form of a mystery box or small crypto reward) as a thank-you for signing up. OKX periodically updates its referral welcome offers, but they typically include a chance to get some free crypto or rebate vouchers for new users.
• More importantly, using the referral link ensures you are marked as an “affiliate invitee.” This status is required for the special new-user campaigns like the May Boost and Spring Bot Mastery events described above. If you signed up normally without a code, you would not be able to join those particular events. So this referral registration is a prerequisite to unlock those extra rewards.
• The referral link does not cost you anything — it simply attaches an invitation code (in this case, SJCOINTRADE) to your registration. All features of OKX remain the same; you’re just tagged to an affiliate (who might be running these promotions).

Note: Even after signing up with the referral, you must still individually join each promotion on its campaign page and fulfill the requirements to earn rewards. Also, remember to complete at least Level 1 KYC verification after you register. Most rewards (and any crypto withdrawals) will require you to be identity verified.
