Have USDT on another exchange? OKX offers 8% bonus to switch

If you still have USDT sitting on another exchange or in your own wallet, the latest promotion from OKX Europe could be worth a look. The exchange is temporarily offering an 8% bonus when you send USDT to OKX and then convert it to USDC. The reward can reach €3.500 in USDC and is paid out over a period of 12 months.

How to get the 8% bonus on your USDT

The promotion is particularly interesting if you currently hold USDT outside OKX. To take part, you first need to sign up for the campaign. You then send at least €10 in USDT from an external wallet or another exchange to your main account at OKX Europe.

Next, you convert the deposited USDT into USDC free of charge during the campaign period. OKX calculates the bonus on up to €43.750 of eligible USDC. With a bonus rate of 8%, this means you can receive a maximum of €3.500 in USDC.

Importantly, USDT that was already in your OKX account before you joined does not count. Only newly deposited USDT is eligible. You must also have completed KYC, and your VIP level must not exceed 6.

The bonus is paid out every two weeks

Participants do not receive the 8% in one immediate lump sum. Payouts start on 15 October and continue for 12 months. Every two weeks, you receive 1/26 of the total bonus.

You do not need to leave the deposited amount untouched during that period. According to OKX, you are free to use the funds for trading. Any trading losses, liquidations or changes in the value of your portfolio do not affect the calculated reward.

Withdrawals are another matter. If you take money out during the payout period, your eligible net deposit can fall, and so can your future bonus. A transfer to OKX Pay also counts as a withdrawal for these purposes.

Don’t leave your deposit until the last minute

The campaign starts on 7 September 2026 at 12:00 and runs until 8 October at 23:59. Both existing and new customers must click “Join” during this period.

Only USDT that actually arrives at OKX during the promotional period and is converted to USDC qualifies. OKX therefore advises against waiting until the final day, due to possible delays from blockchain confirmations and Travel Rule checks.

The offer applies to eligible OKX Europe customers within the EEA, with the exception of Monaco. The number of available rewards is limited. As a result, the campaign may end early once the full bonus budget has been allocated.
