OKX Announces 12% BTC Reward Campaign for OKB Buyers in the EEA

Update (7 November 2026): This promotion has ended. OKX now offers new users a welcome reward of up to €400 across six tasks; terms and code are on our current OKX deals page.

OKX has officially launched a high-incentive campaign targeting users within the European Economic Area (EEA). Following the strategic listing of OKB on the BSC (Buy/Sell and Convert) platform, the exchange is offering a tiered reward system where participants can secure up to 12% in Bitcoin (BTC) rewards based on their OKB purchases.

With the current market showing renewed interest in exchange tokens, this campaign provides a direct bridge for users to accumulate $Bitcoin while increasing their exposure to the OKX ecosystem.

Can I earn Bitcoin by buying OKB?

Yes. Between February 25 and March 11, 2026, verified OKX users in the EEA can earn up to $100 in BTC rewards by purchasing OKB through the "Buy/Sell and Convert" feature. The rewards are calculated as a percentage of the purchase amount, ranging from 3% to 12%.

How to Maximize Your Rewards

The campaign is designed with a "game-like" tiered growth model, encouraging users to hit specific purchase milestones to unlock higher percentage returns in BTC.

Weekly Resets and Participation

A unique aspect of this campaign is the weekly reset. The promotion is split into two distinct periods:

• Week 1: Initial entry and reward accrual.
• Week 2: A fresh start allowing users to participate again and maximize their total reward cap of $100.

Important Note: To qualify for rewards in both weeks, users must make separate purchases in each period. Buying only in Week 1 will not grant rewards for Week 2 automatically.

Eligibility and Requirements

To participate in this campaign, users must meet specific criteria set by OKX:

• Location: Must be a resident of a country within the European Economic Area (EEA).
• Verification: Users must have completed KYC (Know Your Customer) identity verification.
• Registration: Mandatory registration via the official campaign page is required. Purchases made before clicking the registration button will not be counted toward the rewards.

Payouts and Holding Periods

Transparency in payout schedules is a core part of the EEA's regulatory landscape. OKX has outlined the following timeline for reward distribution:

• Distribution: BTC rewards are typically paid out within 7 days after the conclusion of each campaign week.
• Lock-up Period: While the rewards are credited to the user's account, there is a 30-day holding period. After this duration, the BTC can be freely traded, withdrawn, or moved to hardware wallets for long-term storage.

OKB and X Layer

The listing of OKB on the simplified BSC interface comes at a time when OKX is heavily expanding its technical infrastructure. OKB serves as the native gas token for X Layer, OKX’s Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 network. According to data, OKB continues to be a central utility hub for the exchange, offering users trading fee discounts and access to exclusive platform features.
