How to sign up on OKX with the discount applied

One thing matters more than everything else on this page: the discount code must go in during registration. OKX does not let you add it later. Everything else is straightforward — here is the full walkthrough.

Step 0 — copy this before you start

−30% fees

51969329

Open Registration Page

Why the discount matters over time: see the savings tables on the fee page.

Step 1

Open the registration page

Use the button above (or any sign-up button on this site) so the discount partnership is recognised. You can register on the website or the OKX mobile app — the flow is identical.

Have ready: an email address or phone number you control
Code copied: 51969329 should be on your clipboard
Region note: availability and KYC requirements vary by country

Step 2

Create the account — with the code in the invite field

Enter your email or phone and choose a strong password. Before submitting, look for the referral / invite code field — it is sometimes collapsed behind a small link.

Expand the field if you see “Referral code (optional)” as a link
Paste the code exactly, with no spaces before or after
Confirm it shows as applied before pressing sign up

Important: if you complete registration without the code, the discount cannot be attached to that account afterwards. This is exchange policy, not a site limitation — more in the FAQ.

Step 3

Verify your identity (KYC)

Identity verification unlocks deposits, trading, and withdrawals. It is usually approved within minutes.

Level 1: government-issued ID (passport, national ID, or driver's licence) + basic details
Liveness check: a short selfie video confirms you match the document
Higher limits: additional levels raise withdrawal caps if you need them

Step 4

Secure the account, deposit, and start trading

🔐

Enable 2FA first

Turn on authenticator-app 2FA and an anti-phishing code before depositing anything. Our security review lists every protection worth enabling.

💰

Fund the account

Deposit crypto from another wallet or exchange (free), or buy directly with fiat. Pick a low-fee network for transfers — tips in the FAQ.

📈

Place your first trade

Your discounted rate applies automatically to spot and derivatives. Thinking about leverage? Read the futures overview before opening a position.

New users who complete deposit and trading tasks also unlock the welcome rewards described on the home page — up to 60,000 USDT in vouchers and bonuses.

Common sign-up problems

The referral code field doesn't appear

On some regional flows the field is collapsed under a “Referral code” or “Invite code (optional)” toggle — tap it to expand. If you registered through the button on this site, the partnership may already be linked; the code confirms it either way.

My verification was rejected

Most rejections come from blurry document photos or mismatched personal details. Retake photos in good light, ensure names match your ID exactly, and resubmit. Persistent issues can be raised with OKX support chat.

I already have an account without the code

Existing accounts cannot add a referral code. Some traders create a new account with fresh credentials where policy permits — check the exchange's multi-account rules first. Details in the FAQ.

Ready? The whole flow takes ~5 minutes

Copy 51969329, register, verify — discounted fees on every trade after that.
