The digital asset ecosystem continues to expand, and OKX is at the forefront of bringing innovative crypto projects to global traders. We’re excited to announce the upcoming listing of BERA across multiple product offerings on the OKX platform. This comprehensive integration includes USDT-margined perpetual futures, margin trading, Simple Earn, and Flexible Loan services — offering users diverse ways to engage with the BERA token.
Starting February 6, 2025, BERA will be available for perpetual futures trading, followed by additional financial tools the next day. These features are accessible via the OKX web platform, mobile app, and API, ensuring seamless access for all user types — from casual investors to professional traders.
Perpetual Futures Trading for BERA/USDT
Perpetual futures are one of the most popular derivatives in the crypto market, allowing traders to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset. Starting at 2:00 PM UTC on February 6, 2025, OKX will launch USDT-margined perpetual contracts for BERA, providing high flexibility and leverage options.
Key Contract Specifications
- Underlying Index: BERA/USDT
- Settlement Currency: USDT
- Face Value: 0.1 BERA per contract
- Price Quotation: Based on the USDT value of 1 BERA
- Tick Size: 0.001 USDT
- Leverage Range: 0.01x to 50x (adjustable based on position size)
- Funding Interval: Every 4 hours
- Trading Availability: 24/7
The funding fee mechanism is designed to keep the contract price closely aligned with the spot index. It uses the following formula:
Clamp(MA([(Best bid + Best offer) / 2 – Spot index price] / Spot index price – Interest), -1.5%, 1.5%), where Interest = 0
This means that funding rates are smoothed using a moving average and capped between -1.5% and +1.5% to prevent excessive volatility.
To protect traders during the initial launch phase, a temporary cap will apply:
- Until 4:00 PM UTC on February 6, 2025: Maximum predicted funding fee limited to 0.5%
- After 4:00 PM UTC: Reverts to standard cap of 1.5%
The first funding fee will be charged at 8:00 PM UTC on February 6, 2025. Please note that OKX reserves the right to adjust fee limits dynamically if significant price deviations occur due to market conditions.
Standard price limit rules will apply, consistent with other perpetual futures listed on OKX. Traders are encouraged to review our full Perpetual Futures Trading Guide for risk management best practices.
Margin Trading: Amplify Your Positions with BERA
Starting at 4:00 AM UTC on February 7, 2025, users can trade BERA with margin on OKX. Margin trading allows you to borrow funds to increase your exposure, potentially amplifying returns — though it also increases risk.
While specific tiered margin levels will be published after official listing, users can expect a scalable structure based on account equity and risk profile. Higher tiers offer increased borrowing capacity and better interest rates.
This feature supports both long and short strategies, enabling traders to profit in rising or falling markets. As always, proper risk management — including stop-loss orders and position sizing — is crucial when using leverage.
Earn and Borrow Flexibility with Simple Earn & Flexible Loan
Also launching on February 7, 2025, OKX introduces two complementary financial tools: Simple Earn (Flexible) and Flexible Loan for BERA holders.
Simple Earn – Grow Your BERA Passively
With Simple Earn, users can deposit their BERA tokens and earn competitive interest rates with full liquidity. Since this is the flexible version, you can withdraw funds at any time without penalties.
This is ideal for:
- Long-term holders seeking passive income
- Users who want exposure to BERA while earning yield
- Those avoiding lock-up periods
Interest is calculated daily and distributed every 24 hours, compounding your returns over time.
Flexible Loan – Unlock Value Without Selling
Need liquidity but don’t want to sell your BERA? The Flexible Loan service lets you use your BERA holdings as collateral to borrow USDT or other supported assets instantly.
Key benefits:
- Fast, automated loan processing
- No credit checks
- Adjustable loan-to-value (LTV) ratios
- Ability to repay anytime without fees
This feature empowers users to manage cash flow, seize new investment opportunities, or hedge positions — all while maintaining ownership of their crypto assets.
Why This Matters: The Growing Role of BERA in DeFi
As decentralized finance evolves, projects like BERA are gaining traction for their unique value propositions in liquidity layer protocols or cross-chain interoperability (note: specific project details depend on official documentation). By listing BERA across multiple product lines, OKX enhances its support for emerging ecosystems and provides users early access to promising assets.
Integration into derivatives, margin, and yield-generating products signals strong confidence in BERA’s market potential and liquidity sustainability.
