Shiba Inu ($SHIB) has joined a fresh batch of listings on OKX’s European X-Perps platform.
It gives eligible traders access to leveraged exposure to the popular meme cryptocurrency alongside several other crypto assets and well-known U.S. equities.
The latest additions include crypto tokens AEON, Zilliqa (ZIL), GRVT, PROS and ESP, as well as tokenized exposure tied to traditional finance names such as Robinhood (HOOD), Palantir (PLTR), Qualcomm (QCOM) and Coinbase (COIN). The exchange announced that all of the newly listed contracts are now available through its Simple Mode interface.
What are X-Perps?
X-Perps, short for Expiry Perpetuals, are leveraged derivatives that combine characteristics of perpetual futures with a fixed expiration date.
Like traditional perpetual contracts, they use a funding rate mechanism to keep prices closely aligned with the underlying spot market while allowing traders to take both long and short positions.
The products offer up to 10x leverage and support multi-asset margin, enabling users to post Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, or supported stablecoins as collateral instead of converting them into a single settlement asset.
According to the exchange, the platform is designed for professional-grade execution. The products are available to eligible traders in the European Economic Area through the exchange’s MiFID-regulated entity.
The newest listings continue the exchange’s strategy of broadening its X-Perps offering beyond cryptocurrencies by including contracts tied to major publicly traded companies.
The platform aims to give European traders access to a wider range of leveraged instruments through a single regulated venue.
$SHIB‘s sixth anniversary
The listing comes as the Shiba Inu ecosystem celebrates the token’s sixth anniversary.
In a message shared on X, the official $SHIB account described the project as having grown “from zero to a global movement,” thanking holders, builders and community members for supporting one of crypto’s largest ecosystems.
The OKX exchange has long been an important venue for $SHIB traders. Its $SHIB/$USDT spot pair consistently ranks among the token’s most actively traded markets by daily volume, underscoring the asset’s sustained liquidity and global demand as it enters its seventh year.
$SHIB‘s most actively traded spot pair remains $SHIB/$USDT, with KuCoin leading at nearly $21.7 million in 24-hour volume. It is followed by Upbit’s $SHIB/KRW pair at roughly $10.5 million.
