OKEx CEO Jay Hao has publicly stated that OKEx's asset redemption process is secure and reliable, with no issues in private key management. Once withdrawals are enabled, users will face no restrictions, fully respecting their financial autonomy.
Currently, OKEx has launched a public beta test for its Unified Account feature on its official website. Users can explore this new functionality after logging in. For those with questions about the system, OKEx provides a simulated trading channel to test the Unified Account features comprehensively. This article will compare the traditional account model with the new Unified Account using OKEx's simulated trading environment.
Key Features of OKEx's Unified Account
Cross-Currency Margin Mechanism: Offers two modes—
- Manual Borrowing
- Auto-Borrowing
Both allow margin sharing.
Private Key Management:
- Digital wallet private keys function like bank passwords.
- Unlike user-set passwords, private keys are system-generated encryption values managed by the platform.
Account Unification:
- Traditional exchanges segregate accounts by product type (e.g., spot, futures, options).
- OKEx's Unified Account enables trading across multiple products (spot, derivatives, etc.) within a single account.
- Profits/losses across products offset each other under Single-Currency or Cross-Currency Margin, improving capital efficiency.
Market Context
During a 35-day period of uncertainty, some traders capitalized on OKEx's USDT discounts, while others preemptively liquidated assets. Questions arose about OKEx's reliability:
- Can OKEx honor user redemptions?
- Is it safe to hold assets on OKEx post-crisis?
According to TokenInsight's 2020 Digital Asset Futures/Options Brokerage Report, derivatives trading volume growth outpaced spot markets, signaling maturity in digital asset markets. Innovations like OKEx's Position Segregation (risk control) and FTX's Hybrid Margin (multi-asset collateral) streamline trading workflows.
