OKX Launches Pay in Australia: Earn Rewards on USDG – from 4%, up to 10% for VIP 3+

OKX Australia 4 mins read

SYDNEY, 15 June 2026: OKX Australia has today launched OKX Pay, a payments wallet built into the OKX app that earns Australians up to 10% rewards on USDG. Peer-to-peer transfers are instant and there are no bank account numbers or BSB codes required.

 

OKX Pay is embedded directly inside the existing OKX app. From activation, customers can send and receive money peer-to-peer instantly, earn rewards on USDG held on OKX, and transact across USDG, USDT, USDC, and Australian dollar stablecoins AUDM and AUDF.

 

Rewards on USDG starts at 4% for regular customers, capped at $10,000, and scales to 10% for VIP 3+ members. Customers already holding digital assets with OKX may find their existing positions already qualify for VIP status. Full eligibility criteria are available HERE.

 

Because OKX Pay lives inside the existing OKX app, there is no new platform to download, no separate onboarding, and no switching between apps to move between trading and payments. For customers already holding digital assets with OKX, their existing positions may already qualify for VIP status, along with the VIP reward and cashback structures.

 

OKX Australia CEO Kate Cooper said: 

"Money should move as quickly as the internet. Stablecoins have the potential to modernise how Australians spend and transfer value, but until now the experience has been fragmented. With OKX Pay, customers can hold Australian dollar and US dollar stablecoins, earn rewards on eligible balances, and send money instantly, all from a single app. We're making the benefits of stablecoins practical, accessible and rewarding for everyday Australians."

 

OKX Card Waitlist Open

OKX Card launches in Australia in the coming weeks, extending OKX Pay to everyday spend. A virtual Mastercard® available on Apple Pay and Google Pay, it delivers cashback starting at 2% for regular customers and up to 5% for VIP 3+ members on eligible purchases, with monthly caps scaling by VIP level.

 

For customers already holding digital assets with OKX, the card turns an existing wallet into an everyday spending instrument without switching platforms or losing rewards. Join the waitlist HERE

 

DECA 2026

OKX Australia is Primary Partner for DECA 2026, running 15–17 June at the Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park. Conference delegates can activate OKX Pay and join the Card Waitlist at the OKX Activation Zone in the conference foyer across all three days. 

 

Kate Cooper delivers the Day 2 opening plenary keynote, followed by a fireside chat with Jamie Coutts, Chief Crypto Analyst at Real Vision and founder of Helios Analytics.
