Explained: Why OKX Created a Diverse Structured Product System

·

Have you heard of OKX's Shark Fin? It's a principal-protected product with extremely short terms (3 or 7 days). Under current market conditions, Shark Fin has gained popularity among users with limited capital. Our weekly subscription quota for Shark Fin products reaches 200–300 million USD, often selling out in advance.

Shark Fin is part of OKX's structured product ecosystem, a concept borrowed from traditional finance. Through financial engineering, we combine fixed-income assets and derivatives to create innovative wealth management solutions.

Cryptocurrency traders constantly seek ways to improve capital efficiency, and our structured products offer a compelling solution. OKX’s portfolio includes Shark Fin, Dual Investment, and Snowball—each tailored to different risk appetites. Our mission is to build a comprehensive system that empowers users to seize opportunities in any market condition.


Optimizing Opportunities with Structured Products

At OKX, we’ve developed a tiered product lineup:

Our global team combines financial expertise with user-centric design to align products with market trends and trader needs.


Spotlight on Key Products

Dual Investment

Ideal for ranging markets, Dual Investment lets users select a crypto pair and earn returns based on a target price. If the price hits the target by expiry, returns are paid in the chosen crypto; otherwise, users earn stablecoin interest.

Shark Fin

A principal-protected product with flexible terms (3–7 days) and no subscription fees. Users benefit from a base yield plus bonus returns for accurate market predictions. Minimum investment starts at just 10 USDT, making it accessible to a broad audience.

Snowball

Tailored for high-net-worth traders, Snowball requires a minimum position of 50,000 USDT. It supports advanced strategies across market conditions, balancing risk management with profit potential.


The Evolution of Crypto Structured Products

Structured products emerged in crypto during 2020–2021, with Dual Investment leading the wave. Platforms like Matrixport and KuCoin later introduced similar offerings. OKX entered this space with a focus on systematic product development, now boasting one of the most sophisticated structured product suites in the industry.

Unlike TradFi, the crypto market is dominated by retail investors. OKX prioritizes simplicity and transparency, ensuring tools are accessible even to beginners.
