EU/MiCA — please surface OKX X-Perps in tickers for the OKX Europe venue

Hi Gainium team,

Under the EU’s MiCA regulation, retail users in the EEA can no longer access the global OKX platform — we’re routed to OKX’s EEA-regulated entity (OKX Europe, my.okx.com / API host eea.okx.com). As a result, EU accounts can only trade the EU product set, which differs from the global venue in two ways:

  1. Spot is limited to EUR/USDC-quoted pairs (USDT pairs are not available to EU accounts).
  2. Derivatives are offered as X-Perps — OKX Europe’s MiFID-regulated perpetual-style futures — instead of the global perpetual swaps.

Today Gainium’s OKX integration works well for EU spot (via the my.okx.com origin), but the X-Perps are not accessible. It would be very valuable if you could enable them, and in particular surface them in the tickers / price feed and the tradeable pair universe so EU users can build bots on them.

A few technical notes that may help scope it, from testing against the live API:

  • X-Perps are exposed under instType=FUTURES with ruleType=xperp (distinct from SWAP). Instrument IDs look like BTC-USD_UM_XPERP-<expiry> (e.g. BTC-USD_UM_XPERP-310404), grouped by instFamily (BTC-USD_UM_XPERP).
  • They are linear, USD-denominated contracts (contract-based, e.g. 1 contract = 0.0001 BTC), with multi-asset margin (EUR/USD/USDC/…) and leverage up to ~50x.
  • Public market data (instruments, tickers, candles, funding) for X-Perps is available on both the global and eea.okx.com hosts, so the price/ticker feed does not require a separate EEA websocket — the existing global feed serves the same X-Perp data; only the account/order path needs to be routed to eea.okx.com.
  • There are ~85 live X-Perp instruments currently.

For EU users this is increasingly the only way to trade OKX derivatives on Gainium, so first-class X-Perp support — starting with them appearing in the tickers/pair list — would make a real difference.

Thanks a lot for considering it!
