OKX Launches DASH/ZEC Perpetual Futures with 50x Leverage
Cryptocurrency exchange OKX has launched USDT-settled perpetual futures for privacy-focused assets DASH (DASHUSDT) and ZEC (ZECUSDT) on November 6, 2025. The new OKX perpetual futures offer leverage from 0.01x to 50x with USDT collateral, a 0.01 tick size and funding rates capped at ±1.5%.
Contracts trade 24/7 with no expiry and pricing based on one DASH or ZEC’s USDT equivalent. Fees are charged every four hours—adjusting to hourly when thresholds are met. This launch expands OKX’s derivatives suite, attracts institutional and retail demand, and aims to boost liquidity for DASH and ZEC. Detailed contract specs, price index methodology and risk controls are available in OKX’s documentation. Traders should apply strict risk management, including stop-loss orders, to mitigate high-leverage liquidation risks.
Bullish
The launch of OKX perpetual futures for DASH and ZEC is likely bullish. In the short term, 24/7 trading and high leverage access can drive increased volume and volatility, offering traders new speculative avenues. Over the long term, expanded derivatives support typically enhances market liquidity, attracts institutional interest and broadens adoption of the underlying assets, supporting price appreciation for both DASH and ZEC.
