Notes
OKX expiry futures are divided into crypto-margined futures and USDT-margined futures. Before trading expiry futures, you need to transfer funds and move the cryptocurrency you want to use for futures into your trading account.
Select Settings (three dots) > Settings > Account Mode and select the corresponding account mode. Choose Futures Trading Unit to complete the setup.
