Frequently Asked Questions
Is OKX safe?+
OKX is a regulated exchange with published proof of reserves, meaning you can verify they hold the assets they claim. No exchange is 100% safe — consider moving large holdings to a self-custody wallet after purchasing. Enable 2FA and withdrawal whitelisting for extra security.
Is OKX good for beginners?+
OKX is oriented more toward experienced traders. Beginners may find the interface complex. If you're new to crypto, start with small amounts and use the "simple" buy interface if available.
What are OKX's fees?+
OKX's fees vary by trade type and volume. Check the "Key Information" section above for current maker/taker rates. Many exchanges also charge different fees for their "simple" vs "advanced" trading interfaces — the simple interface is usually more expensive. Always check the fee schedule on OKX's website before trading.
Should I keep my crypto on OKX?+
For active trading, keeping funds on OKX is practical. For long-term holding or large amounts, move crypto to a self-custody wallet. Exchanges can freeze accounts, get hacked, or face regulatory issues. The safest approach: buy on the exchange, then transfer to your own wallet.
