Focus on Professional and Corporate Users

OKJ has become a popular platform for professional and corporate users due to its strong focus on meeting the needs of order execution, especially for those sensitive to execution costs. A notable characteristic of OKJ is its emphasis on order book trading. To support arbitrage traders and others, we have introduced a negative fee campaign for certain tokens starting last month, rewarding makers who contribute to liquidity. We encourage you to take advantage of this program.

Additionally, demand for OTC (over-the-counter) trading has been increasing recently. This trend likely stems from the growing number of entry-level users and the emphasis on execution speed. To address these needs, OKJ has enhanced its trading services by offering highly competitive spreads that have been well-received.

In terms of domestic trading activity, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP still dominate the market. However, we believe there is significant potential for growth in altcoin trading volumes, and we are committed to creating a market environment that is accessible to all users.
