Expanded Access to RON: Margin Trading and Simple Earn
To ensure comprehensive support for the RON ecosystem, OKX has rolled out multi-product integration effective from mid-December 2023.
Margin Trading for RON/USDT
RON is now supported in the margin trading system with the RON/USDT trading pair. This enables traders to borrow funds and open leveraged positions—either long or short—based on their market outlook. With margin trading, users can amplify potential returns (and risks), making it a powerful tool for experienced investors.
Key features:
- Trading Pair: RON/USDT
- Leverage Tiers: Dynamic leverage brackets based on position size (refer to OKX’s margin borrowing tier guidelines post-launch)
- Risk Management: Tiered initial and maintenance margin requirements aligned with industry best practices
Traders are encouraged to review the latest margin tier rules directly within the platform to understand borrowing limits, liquidation prices, and applicable fees based on their account level and position size.
Simple Earn: Grow Your RON Holdings Passively
OKX’s Simple Earn program now includes RON, allowing holders to earn competitive yields by staking their assets. This feature is ideal for long-term believers in the Ronin Network who prefer a low-risk approach to wealth accumulation.
Users can expect:
- Flexible and fixed-term deposit options
- Regular interest distributions
- Transparent allocation rules based on real-time demand from lending and staking markets
Available yields will vary depending on market conditions and user demand. For precise details on current rates and maximum subscription quotas, users should consult the Simple Earn section on OKX after launch.

RONUSDT Perpetual Contract: A New Frontier for Derivatives Traders
One of the most anticipated features is the launch of the RONUSDT perpetual contract, now live on both web and mobile platforms as well as via API access. Designed for active traders seeking exposure to RON price movements without expiration constraints, this derivative product offers deep liquidity and sophisticated trading mechanics.
Core Specifications
- Underlying Index: RON/USDT
- Settlement Currency: USDT
- Contract Size: 1 RON per contract
- Price Quotation: Based on the USDT value of 1 RON
- Minimum Price Increment (Tick Size): 0.001 USDT
- Leverage Range: 0.01x to 50x (adjustable based on risk settings)
- Trading Hours: 7×24, no market closure interruptions
Funding Rate Mechanism:
$$ \text{Funding Rate} = \text{Clamp}\left(\text{MA}\left[\frac{(\text{Bid Price} + \text{Ask Price}) / 2 - \text{Spot Index}}{\text{Spot Index}}\right] - \text{Interest},\ -0.75\%,\ 0.75\%\right) $$
Where Interest = 0%.
This funding formula ensures fair cost-of-carry adjustments between long and short positions while preventing extreme volatility in funding costs.
Special Funding Rate Adjustment During Launch Phase
Due to potential price instability during initial trading hours, OKX implemented a temporary cap on funding rate calculations:
- From launch until 00:00 UTC+8 on December 12, 2023: Maximum predicted funding rate capped at 0.03%
- After 00:00 UTC+8 on December 12: Cap reverted to standard maximum of 1.50%
The first actual funding settlement occurred at 16:00 UTC+8 on December 12, ensuring smoother entry for early participants.
All other trading rules—including order types, liquidation mechanisms, insurance fund operations, and mark price logic—align with existing USDT-margined perpetual contracts on OKX. Users familiar with BTC or ETH perpetuals will find the experience seamless.
Why RON? Understanding the Asset Behind the Listings
RON is the native token of the Ronin Network, an Ethereum sidechain originally developed for Axie Infinity but now expanding into a broader Web3 gaming and NFT infrastructure platform. Its high throughput, low fees, and growing ecosystem make it a compelling candidate for financial product development.
With increasing adoption in play-to-earn games, NFT marketplaces, and cross-chain bridges, RON's relevance extends beyond speculative trading. The addition of derivatives and earning products reflects market maturity and institutional-grade interest.
Core use cases include:
- Paying transaction fees on the Ronin chain
- Staking for network security
- Governance participation
- In-game currency integration
As blockchain gaming gains mainstream traction, assets like RON are positioned at the intersection of technology and finance—making them prime candidates for diverse financial instruments.
