OKX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange and onchain technology company with more than 150 million customers worldwide, has launched Liquid Yield USDC, allowing customers in Europe to earn 3.3% annual percentage yield while using their position as margin for X-Perps, OKX’s MiFID-regulated derivatives, as well as spot margin and options trading.
Liquid Yield USDC pays daily USDC rewards, so traders can now earn on the asset they hold as trading margin. Customers allocate USDC and receive LYUSDC at a 1:1 ratio, representing their DeFi Earn position, which they can use as trading margin.
“Active traders often keep USDC ready as margin for their next trade,” said Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe. “Liquid Yield USDC lets them earn daily rewards on that asset while continuing to use it for X-Perps. With a variable APY of 3.3%, it gives traders a practical way to put those funds to work.”
