OKX CeDeFi Now Supports Ethereum and Arbitrum

We’ve expanded OKX CeDeFi to Ethereum and Arbitrum, giving customers direct access to emerging onchain tokens from their OKX balance without the usual DeFi friction.

When we talk to customers, the message is consistent: they want access to onchain opportunities early, without complexity. Ethereum alone accounts for nearly 70% of global DeFi liquidity. It's where new narratives in tokenized real-world assets, decentralized derivatives, and AI-driven finance often emerge.

Yet for most, accessing these opportunities is still too hard.

Trading onchain today often means setting up wallets, managing seed phrases, buying gas tokens, bridging assets across chains, and navigating fragmented liquidity. One mistake can lead to failed transactions or lost funds. As a result, many only encounter these tokens after they reach centralized exchanges—often after the biggest moves have already happened.

This is exactly the problem OKX CeDeFi was built to solve. We handle the complexity in the background, so you can focus on discovering and trading opportunities, not managing tech.

Key features:

  • Best-price routing: Trades are automatically routed across 100+ liquidity pools to deliver competitive onchain execution.

  • Frictionless self-custody: A self-custody wallet is created instantly and secured with Passkey technology. There are no seed phrases, and no setup, you have full control.

  • No gas, clear fees: A flat 0.85% per trade. Gas fees are taken care of by us, with no hidden costs.

  • One balance, many markets: Trade across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, Base, and X Layer from a single OKX balance, with no bridging required.

Why Ethereum and Arbitrum Matter

Ethereum remains the center of global DeFi liquidity and innovation. It’s where tokenized real-world assets, decentralized derivatives, and AI-driven financial applications often launch first.

Arbitrum extends this ecosystem with faster execution and lower costs, powering high-performance decentralized exchanges and new ecosystems across derivatives, gaming, and restaking.

By adding both networks to CeDeFi, customers get direct access to these ecosystems without the usual technical barriers.

What this means for OKX clients

With OKX CeDeFi, you eliminate the need to:

  • Manage multiple wallets

  • Hold ETH or ARB for gas

  • Use bridge protocols

  • Search across DEXs for prices

  • Deal with failed or stuck transactions

You see a token. You trade it. It settles securely onchain.

What’s Next for CeDeFi

We started with Solana, Base, and X Layer to prove the model. Adding Ethereum and Arbitrum brings the same streamlined experience to the deepest and most established DeFi ecosystems.

Our goal is simple: make multi-chain token trading easy, cost-efficient, and accessible so DeFi works for everyone.

OKX CeDeFi is live now for eligible users. Activation takes seconds, and you can start trading Ethereum and Arbitrum tokens directly from your OKX balance today.
