OKX supports a "borrow to earn, borrow to spend" philosophy. It enables users to conveniently access a variety of digital currency products by pledging their existing crypto assets as collateral. With an OKX loan, you can enhance your cash flow and participate in new cryptocurrency offerings without exposing your portfolio to market volatility.
What Is a Flexible Loan?
A Flexible Loan does not come with a fixed term or a pre-set interest rate. It supports over 120 types of digital assets as collateral. This type of loan is funded through OKX's profit-generating liquidity pool and offers a market-based interest rate that updates every hour.

How to Borrow for Profit
Here are several ways you can benefit from value-added services using OKX Loans:
Loan x Jumpstart
Jumpstart is a platform for OKX users to explore promising new cryptocurrency projects. Users can obtain new tokens simply by holding OKB. For those concerned about price fluctuations, consider subscribing to new offerings using OKB borrowed via Loan. This low-risk option allows you to participate in new token launches while maintaining your current asset positions.
Loan x Earn
The Earn platform offers users opportunities to borrow and earn attractive annual percentage yields (APY) through Simple Earn and on-chain products. For risk-averse users, we recommend purchasing Earn products using crypto borrowed via Loan.
Take OpenDAO as an example: assuming the current APY for SOS is 70%, if you borrow 10,000 SOS via Flexible Loan at a 5% interest rate, you would earn 6,500 SOS by the end of the loan term (10,000 70% - 10,000 5% = 6,500). This method allows you to enjoy high returns with minimal exposure to market volatility.

How to Borrow for Spending
If you need immediate liquidity but prefer not to sell your cryptocurrencies, consider borrowing USDT through Loan and converting it to fiat currency.
How Cross-Platform Arbitrage Works
Suppose OKX offers a loan interest rate of 5%, while another platform provides an annual interest rate of 10%. In that case, you can borrow digital assets from OKX to invest in other platforms and capture the interest rate difference.
How to Borrow for Trading
If you anticipate a rise or fall in cryptocurrency prices, consider borrowing USDT via Loan to open long or short positions in the trading market. Once your target price is reached, simply repay the loan and keep the profits.
