The cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, and with it, the demand for advanced trading tools and flexible financial products. To meet the growing needs of digital asset traders and investors, OKX has officially launched YGG-related services across multiple product lines. Starting August 6, 2021, at 17:00 HKT, users can access YGG leveraged trading, YGG savings in the Crypto Savings (Yu Bibao) program, and the YGGUSDT perpetual contract via the OKX web platform, mobile app, and API.
This multi-product rollout enhances trading flexibility and investment opportunities for users interested in YGG, a promising token in the blockchain gaming and metaverse ecosystem. Let’s explore what each offering entails and how you can benefit from them.
Leveraged Trading and Crypto Savings for YGG
OKX continues to expand its margin trading capabilities by adding YGG/USDT to its leveraged trading pairs. This enables traders to amplify their market exposure using borrowed funds, allowing for greater profit potential—though risk management remains essential.
Key Features of YGG Leverage Trading
- Available Pair: YGG/USDT
- Leverage Tiers: Flexible borrowing tiers based on position size and user level. Users are encouraged to review the leverage borrowing position tiers for detailed margin requirements and risk levels.

- Flexible Terms: Choose between flexible and fixed-term deposits based on your liquidity needs.
- Competitive Yields: Rates are dynamically adjusted based on market demand and supply for borrowed assets.
- Easy Access: Deposit and redeem with minimal friction directly through the OKX interface.

YGGUSDT Perpetual Contract: Trade with Precision and Flexibility
Perpetual contracts have become a cornerstone of modern crypto trading due to their ability to offer leveraged exposure without expiration dates. The new YGGUSDT perpetual contract brings institutional-grade features to retail and professional traders alike.
Contract Specifications at a Glance
- Underlying Index: YGG/USDT
- Settlement Currency: USDT
- Contract Size: 1 YGG per contract
- Price Quotation: Based on the USDT price of 1 YGG
- Minimum Price Movement (Tick Size): 0.0001 USDT
- Leverage Range: Adjustable from 0.01x up to 75x
- Trading Hours: 7 days a week, 24 hours a day
These specifications ensure high precision and accessibility, catering to scalpers, day traders, and swing traders alike.
Understanding the Funding Rate Mechanism
To maintain price alignment between the perpetual contract and the underlying spot market, OKX employs a funding rate mechanism:
Funding Rate = Clamp(MA(((Bid + Ask)/2 – Spot Index Price) / Spot Index Price – Interest), –0.75%, 0.75%)
Where Interest = 0
This formula ensures that long and short positions periodically exchange payments based on market sentiment, discouraging prolonged deviations from fair value.
Special Note on Initial Funding Rate Cap
Due to potential volatility during the initial listing phase:
- From launch until August 6, 2021, 24:00 HKT, the funding rate cap was limited to 0.03% to prevent unfair charges during price discovery.
- After that time, the cap reverted to the standard ±0.75%.
- The first actual funding settlement occurred on August 7, 2021, at 16:00 HKT.
This temporary measure protected users during the early market formation period while ensuring stability.

- Rising adoption of derivatives for hedging and speculation
By supporting YGG in spot margin, savings, and derivatives markets simultaneously, OKX provides a comprehensive ecosystem for users to trade, earn, and manage risk—all within a single platform.
