Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a coin and a token?
A coin, like Bitcoin or Litecoin, operates on its own native blockchain. A token, such as those built on Ethereum, operates on top of an existing blockchain and often represents a specific utility or asset within a project's ecosystem.
Why are some popular tokens not available on OKX UK?
Our listings are heavily influenced by regulatory guidance in the United Kingdom. Some assets may not be available because they do not currently meet the specific compliance requirements set forth by UK authorities. Our priority is to operate within the legal framework.
How often does OKX add new tokens?
We continuously evaluate new projects for potential listing. New tokens are added on an ongoing basis, while others may be delisted if they no longer meet our standards or regulatory conditions. It's best to check the official platform regularly for the most current information.
Is my investment safe with these tokens?
All cryptocurrency investments carry inherent risk due to market volatility. While OKX conducts extensive due diligence on listed tokens, we cannot guarantee any asset's value. It is crucial to conduct your own research (DYOR) and only invest what you are willing to lose.
Can I trade all these tokens against GBP?
While many tokens are available for trading, not all trading pairs may be directly available with GBP. Most assets can be traded against major stablecoins like USDT or USDC, which can easily be bought with GBP on the platform.
