1. OKX Account Opening Process#
Accessing the OKX official website in China may encounter network restrictions, but through the alternative domain entry provided by Chao Lian Navigation, you can easily access the official page. Here are the detailed account opening steps:
-
Visit the OKX Official Website
Open your browser, enter OKX Domestic Entry Navigation, and ensure you enter the official page. To avoid access issues, it is recommended to use a stable network environment or scientific internet tools.
If you prefer mobile operations, you can directly download the OKX APP, which supports iOS and Android systems, and start registration after installation. -
Register an Account
On the homepage of the official website or APP, click the "Register" button. OKX supports registration via email or phone number, and it is recommended for domestic users to register using an email (to avoid regional restrictions on phone number verification). Fill in your email address, set a password, and complete the verification code verification.
Tip: Make your password as complex as possible, including letters, numbers, and symbols, to enhance account security. -
Complete Identity Verification (KYC)
To ensure transaction security, OKX requires users to undergo identity verification (KYC). After logging in, go to the "Personal Center" and find the "KYC Certification" option. Follow the prompts to upload photos of your ID card (front and back) and perform facial recognition. Domestic users only need to provide a Chinese ID card as required, and it usually takes a few minutes to pass the review.
After completing KYC, your account will unlock more features, such as higher trading limits and fiat trading permissions. -
Set Up Fund Password and Two-Step Verification
To further protect your account, it is recommended to set a fund password (for sensitive operations such as withdrawals) and enable Google Authenticator or SMS verification. Google Authenticator is more suitable for domestic users, as it is simple to operate and avoids concerns about SMS delays.
After completing the above steps, your OKX account is successfully registered! Next, let's see how to purchase virtual currencies.
2. How Domestic Users Can Purchase Virtual Currencies on OKX#
Purchasing virtual currencies on OKX is mainly done through "Fiat Trading" or "Crypto Trading." Here is the specific operation guide:
-
Purchase Through Fiat Trading
OKX's "Fiat Trading" feature allows users to directly purchase mainstream virtual currencies like USDT and BTC with RMB. The operation steps are as follows:- Recharge RMB: Log in to OKX, go to the "Buy Crypto" or "Fiat Trading" page, and select "Quick Buy" or "C2C Trading." Quick Buy is suitable for beginners, as the system will automatically match sellers; C2C trading is more flexible, allowing you to choose trusted sellers.
- Select Payment Method: Supports bank cards, Alipay, WeChat, etc. Domestic users commonly use Alipay or bank cards. Complete the payment as prompted on the page, and after the seller confirms, the virtual currency will be transferred to your OKX fund account.
- Notes: When choosing a seller, prioritize those with high completion rates and good reviews; ensure you use your real-name account when making payments to avoid transaction disputes.
-
Crypto Trading for More Cryptocurrencies
If you want to trade other non-mainstream cryptocurrencies, you can use the purchased USDT or BTC to exchange in the "Crypto Trading" market. For example, if you want to buy ETH (Ethereum), select the ETH/USDT trading pair on the trading page, enter the purchase amount, and confirm to complete the transaction.
OKX's trading interface is very user-friendly, and beginners can first try "Limit Trading," setting a target price, and the system will automatically execute the trade when the price is reached. -
Store and Manage Assets
The purchased virtual currencies will be stored in your OKX fund account, and it is recommended to regularly check account security. If holding for a long time, consider transferring assets to a personal cold wallet (such as a hardware wallet) for increased security.
3. Other Exchange Options for Domestic Users#
In addition to OKX, domestic users can also choose other mainstream exchanges, such as Binance, Huobi HTX, Gate.io, Bitget, and Bybit. These platforms also provide alternative domain entries through Chao Lian Navigation to ensure smooth access for domestic users:

4. Tips and Precautions#
- Network Environment: Accessing exchanges domestically may require scientific internet tools to ensure a stable network to avoid transaction interruptions.
- Fund Security: Do not trust any "proxy buying" or "insider recommendations" to avoid scams. Always operate through official channels when trading.
- Market Risks: Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile, so conduct a risk assessment before entering the market and invest rationally.
