- OKX’s 8% EU deposit promotion is running from November 10 to December 10.
- The exchange pays a fixed 2% bonus, with 8% representing an annualized yield.
- Only external wallet or outside exchange crypto deposits qualify for the offer.
Crypto exchange OKX is running a promotion advertising an 8% annual yield (APR) for users who deposit funds and keep them on the platform for about three months.
The offer runs from November 10 to December 10, 2026, and is aimed at European investors wanting to earn extra income on their crypto holdings. That said, the advertised 8% figure has fine print attached, so it’s smart to check the rules before moving the assets over.
OKX’s campaign terms say the promo pays a fixed bonus equal to 2% of eligible deposits. The 8% figure is an annualized rate spread across the roughly 3-month reward period, and not a full 8% return paid out.
The rewards are paid out in USDC over seven cycles, roughly every two weeks, starting December 17, 2026, and running through March 11, 2027. The smallest qualifying deposit is €10 equivalent, and the largest is €175,000, which works out to a maximum bonus of €3,500.
The promotion headline lists France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Poland, and Belgium, but the full terms state that only selected, verified users can take part. In other words, having a European residence doesn’t guarantee eligibility.

What Investors Should Check Before Transferring Crypto
For starters, users have to complete advanced ID verification and manually join the promotion. Only after getting a confirmation message will they be able to move any funds over.
Importantly, only fresh on-chain crypto deposits from an outside wallet or another exchange count toward the offer. Funds already sitting in the OKX account, transfers sent from other OKX users, and traditional cash deposits like SEPA wire transfers or bank card purchases won’t qualify for the reward.
Withdrawals have rules too, since OKX calculates the bonus based on the net deposits, meaning any withdrawals or transfers are subtracted from the total.
Moving funds out of the main account (even to a private wallet or OKX Pay) can shrink future reward payouts. Investors must keep the required balance in their account through each payout date to get the full reward, but are free to trade their deposited crypto without penalty.
Investors should also add up network withdrawal fees, trading spreads, and any conversion costs, as those expenses could eat into the extra earnings from the 8% bonus rate.
It’s important to remember that this is a short-term promotional reward paid out in USDC and not a guaranteed investment return or a regular interest account on OKX Earn.
Also, moving crypto between platforms always carries risks during the transfer process, and leaving the funds on a centralized exchange means relying entirely on that platform’s security and withdrawal policies.
