Your OKX VIP level usually depends on your total trading volume over the past 30 days, which includes both spot and futures trading. As for block trades, whether they count depends on which channel you use:

  • Using the block trading system: It may be included, but if it goes through the OTC channel, only the converted trading amount is counted, not the full face value of the order.

  • Using the regular trading interface: It definitely counts, and it is converted one-to-one into your trading volume.

If you want to confirm whether a specific block trade is counted, it is best to check the benefits under the "trading volume statistics" page. The notes there usually state whether the trade meets the requirements.

Core Logic: 30-Day Rolling Trading Volume

Your regular VIP level on OKX mainly depends on your absolute trading volume over the past 30 days. The calculation formula is usually: 30-day trading volume = spot trading volume in the last 30 days + futures trading volume in the last 30 days.

  • The rules typically look at "trading volume (USD)": If a block trade is executed inside the exchange, it is counted in basically the same way as regular trades, based on the notional principal.

  • If you use "algo trading" or the "block trading system": Some platforms count the traded amount after applying a coefficient of 0.5–1x. The exact coefficient depends on the official standard at the time.

How to Check Whether Your Trade Is Counted

If your VIP level has not changed, you can go to your account page to check the status directly:

  1. Check the "VIP Center" or "Fee" section: Open the OKX app. You can usually find "VIP" or "fee tier" in the top left corner of the home page or on the "Assets" page.

  2. Confirm your current level and distance to the next level: Check your "30-day trading volume". If it includes entries related to "block trading", then those trades have already been counted.

  3. Rule boundaries: If a block trade does not appear on the statistics page, it most likely went through an "independently negotiated channel", such as a specific large OTC trade. These are usually handled under a separate agreed fee rate and do not count toward VIP level assessment. Please refer to the specific program rules for details.
