In the fast-evolving world of cryptocurrency, users are increasingly seeking innovative ways to grow their assets—without compromising on safety or simplicity. At the forefront of this transformation is OKX, which has developed a comprehensive and diverse structured product system designed to meet the needs of traders across all experience levels and risk appetites.
One standout example is Shark Fin, a principal-protected structured product with ultra-short terms of just 3 or 7 days. Ideal for users with smaller capital, Shark Fin has seen overwhelming demand—weekly subscription quotas ranging from $200 to $300 million are consistently sold out in advance. This surge in popularity highlights a growing appetite for accessible, secure, and high-efficiency financial tools in the digital asset space.
Structured products are not new to finance. In traditional markets, they combine fixed-income instruments with derivatives to create tailored investment solutions. OKX has adapted this concept for crypto, leveraging financial engineering to build products that are both powerful and user-friendly.
Our structured product suite—including Shark Fin, Dual Investment, and Snowball—is designed to serve users regardless of market direction. Whether you're navigating bull runs, bear markets, or sideways trends, there's a product engineered to help you seize opportunities while managing risk.
Building a Tiered System for Every Trader
At OKX, we recognize that users have vastly different goals, risk tolerances, and trading styles. To address this, we've built a tiered structured product ecosystem:
- Trading tools: Designed to assist active traders in optimizing entries and exits.
- Basic structured products: Low-risk, principal-protected options ideal for beginners or conservative investors.
- Advanced structured products: Medium-risk solutions offering higher return potential for experienced traders.
This layered approach ensures that everyone—from new entrants to seasoned professionals—can find a product that aligns with their strategy.
Our global team of experts in finance, risk management, and digital operations continuously analyzes market trends and user behavior to refine and expand our offerings. This deep operational insight allows us to stay ahead of demand and deliver timely, relevant solutions.

Spotlight on Key Products
Dual Investment
Perfect for stable or moderately volatile markets, Dual Investment allows users to earn returns in one of two selected cryptocurrencies based on a target price. If the market hits your chosen price by expiration, you receive your payout in the target crypto. If not, you still earn interest on your stablecoin investment—ensuring returns in any scenario.
This product is ideal for users who want predictable yields without constant market monitoring.
Shark Fin
Shark Fin stands out for its flexibility and accessibility. With minimum investments as low as 10 USDT and maximums up to 1.5 million USDT, it caters to a broad audience. The 3-day and 7-day terms offer rapid capital rotation, and there are no subscription fees.
Even during high volatility, your principal is protected—making it a smart choice for those exploring both bullish and bearish markets with confidence.
Snowball
Designed for professional traders and high-net-worth individuals, Snowball starts at 50,000 USDT and uses automated mechanisms to capture gains during sideways or slightly bullish markets. It’s particularly effective in choppy conditions where traditional trading may underperform.
By combining options-based strategies with automated execution, Snowball helps users compound returns while minimizing downside exposure.
The Evolution of Structured Products in Crypto
The journey began around 2020–2021 when Dual Investment emerged as one of the first structured products in the crypto space. Platforms like Matrixport, KuCoin, and Bybit soon followed, signaling a shift toward more sophisticated financial instruments.
OKX entered this space early and has since evolved into a leader in structured product innovation. Unlike traditional finance (TradFi), where users often have formal training, the average crypto trader is relatively new to financial markets. Recognizing this, OKX prioritizes clarity, transparency, and ease of use—transforming complex instruments into intuitive tools anyone can use.
Market Potential and Innovation Drivers
The global structured product market is already worth billions—and its role in crypto is only expanding. These products democratize access to advanced financial strategies, turning complex derivatives like options into digestible, secure formats.
They enhance capital efficiency, improve risk-adjusted returns, and allow users to generate yield in flat or declining markets—key advantages in an asset class known for volatility.
At OKX, we go beyond being a tech platform. We see ourselves as a bridge connecting millions of users to the future of finance. Our cutting-edge technical infrastructure, automated trading systems, and rigorous risk controls form the backbone of our operations.
But technology alone isn’t enough. Our team’s deep expertise in finance and digital asset management gives us a unique edge—one that translates directly into better products and experiences for users.

Empowering Users Through Education
We believe informed users make better decisions. Structured products balance risk and reward, but returns can vary based on market conditions. That’s why we’re committed to financial literacy—offering clear, concise educational resources that explain how each product works, its risks, and its potential outcomes.
From beginner guides to advanced strategy breakdowns, our goal is to demystify crypto investing and empower every user to act with confidence.
Listening to Feedback: Building Trust
User feedback shapes our evolution. Some have asked for greater flexibility or higher yields—and while we continuously optimize performance, we also emphasize realism: no product can guarantee unlimited returns. Safety always comes first.
On the positive side, users consistently praise our clear risk disclosures, intuitive interface, and straightforward subscription process. Many highlight the value of real-time risk alerts and transparent terms.
To reinforce trust, OKX publishes regular proof of reserves, allowing users to verify that their assets are fully backed. Before any investment, we provide full details on product mechanics and risks—ensuring informed decision-making.
