OKX Expands Institutional Options Access Through Talos

Introduction

Eligible clients can trade OKX options alongside existing spot and futures markets within the Talos platform

San Jose, CA, September 28, 2026—OKX, a leading crypto exchange and global on-chain technology company with more than 150 million customers worldwide, and Talos, the premier provider of institutional digital asset infrastructure, technology and data supporting the full investment lifecycle, today announced an expanded integration that makes OKX options liquidity accessible through the Talos platform. Talos clients can now view OKX options markets, and those onboarded with OKX can send orders, manage positions and view options market data through the same Talos trading platform currently used for OKX spot and futures.

The integration with Talos reflects OKX’s broader focus on institutions. Talos is an important channel for institutional clients to reach OKX spot liquidity, and this integration lets them bring OKX options liquidity into that same environment. As a result, trading desks can hedge risk and express views on the market without leaving the workflow they already use for spot and futures.

OKX’s institutional business has scaled alongside a March 2026 strategic investment from Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE), the parent of the New York Stock Exchange. OKX has since brought regulated benchmark products onto its platform, including perpetual futures tied to ICE’s Brent and WTI crude oil benchmarks, part of an effort to connect institutional participants to both traditional and digital markets. 

Options are already an established part of OKX's institutional offering. OKX operates Liquid Marketplace, an on-demand liquidity network for block and RFQ trading across spot, futures spreads and options, and OKX's options market supports both linear (USD-settled) and inverse (coin-settled) contract structures. The Talos integration adds streaming access to OKX's options order book, with positions sharing margin against other OKX derivatives under OKX's unified account structure. On the Talos side, clients see their full exposure in one place: spot, futures and now OKX options, with live Greeks and real-time P&L in the same platform they use to execute.

"Clients manage best execution by weighing liquidity across every venue available to them, and adding OKX's options market gives them one more source to draw on," said Daniel Packham, VP and Head of Provider Network at Talos. "Options can now sit in the same operational view as everything else clients are already trading on the platform."
