Circle and OKX have expanded their partnership to boost USDC liquidity and trading activity across the exchange’s spot, margin, and futures markets. The move will give eligible users broader access to USDC-denominated trading products while supporting the stablecoin’s role in digital asset markets.
As part of the initiative, OKX launched a USDC Margin Growth Program that offers qualifying users a monthly reward of 100 USDC funded by Circle. Participants must meet specific balance and trading volume requirements to qualify, with rewards available to up to 4,000 users each month.
The expanded collaboration builds on previous efforts between the two companies, including zero-fee USD-to-USDC conversions and the integration of native USDC and Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol on OKX’s X Layer network. Circle said the partnership is aimed at increasing access to trusted dollar-backed liquidity as cryptocurrency trading markets continue to grow.
The announcement comes as Circle continues to expand USDC adoption across exchanges, trading platforms, and blockchain networks. USDC circulation reached $73.3 billion at the end of the second quarter, supported by a growing network of partners integrating the stablecoin for trading, payments, and settlement services.
