Crypto exchange OKX expands event contracts to include Solana and introduces ultra-short 5-minute trading intervals.
OKX has introduced Solana (SOL) to its event contracts platform, allowing traders to bet on SOL volatility alongside existing BTC and ETH options. The expansion responds to user demand for more assets and faster trading intervals.
The exchange also launched 5-minute event contracts for BTC, ETH, and SOL, enabling traders to act on rapid price movements or macroeconomic data releases. Prior offerings included longer timeframes but lacked ultra-short-term options.
The update targets traders seeking to capitalize on immediate market shifts, though no immediate market reaction was specified in the announcement.
