Bitcoin Staking Arrives on OKX US — Earn While You Hold

Bitcoin is the most held crypto in the world. Millions of long-term holders believe in its future. Until now, BTC has been a passive asset. Strong in conviction, but idle in growth.

We're now changing that for US clients. It's time your Bitcoin can get productive.

What’s new: OKX is bringing BTC staking to the US*, powered by Babylon technology. Babylon is a protocol that lets Bitcoin’s security secure other networks. This makes it possible for holders to stake BTC and earn rewards while still keeping Bitcoin as the underlying asset.

How it works:

  • Ensure you have BTC into your OKX account.

  • Navigate to the Earn view, select BTC, and choose the amount to stake.

  • Tap Deposit to confirm — no bridges, no wrapped tokens, no extra wallets.

Anytime you want to unstake, you can — with a simple 7-day redemption period before your BTC returns to your account.

Beyond just holding:

  • Bitcoin’s weight and trust can now be put to work, creating returns for holders instead of sitting idle.

  • Staked BTC strengthens other networks, adding security and resilience across the crypto ecosystem.

  • Everything happens inside OKX, without the stress of moving Bitcoin across chains or juggling extra wallets.

Closing: Conviction deserves reward. Stake your Bitcoin today
