OKX, a major cryptocurrency platform, said on Tuesday that it had arranged a partnership with the trading platform
Trading Platform
In the FX space, a currency trading platform is a software provided by brokers to their respective client base, garnering access as traders in the broader market. Most commonly, this reflects an online interface or mobile app, complete with tools for order processing.Every broker needs one or more trading platforms to accommodate the needs of different clients. Being the backbone of the company’s offering, a trading platform provides clients with quotes, a selection of instruments to trade, real-time updates on quotes, charts and is the main frontend which customers are facing.Brokers either use existing trading platforms and sometimes customize them, or develop their own platform from scratch. Since the beginning of the retail FX trading business MetaQuotes and its platforms MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) have been the industry standard, especially when it comes to automated trading.MT4 Shows Resiliency While MT4 has long been seen as ubiquitous amongst brokers’ offerings, a targeted push by MetaQuotes themselves has led to broader adoption of MT5 in recent years. Advanced trading platforms such as MT4 or MT5 also allow access to a wide range of asset classes available for trading.The development of trading platforms over the past decade has failed to successfully dethrone MT4 or MT5, notably in the retail market. However, in institutional markets, brokerage companies and banking entities also construct and utilize proprietary currency trading platforms to help satisfy internal needs with trades executed through institutional trading channels.By far the most important parameter for many retail clients is the optionality and pairs available on trading platforms. Additionally, demand by traders has led to a greater emphasis on newer features such as advanced charting and other tools.

Assets Available
Among the assets made available on TradingView by OKX’s integration are Near (NEAR), Cosmos (ATOM) and Monero (XMR). Besides Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), swaps
Swaps
Swaps can be defined as a derivate contact composed of two parties that exchange to cash flow between two separate financial instruments.They are generally divided into two categories. This includes contingent claims (options) and forward claims, where forward contracts, swaps, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are exchanged. Commodity price, equity price, interest rate, and foreign exchange rate are common variables used as one of the cash flows in swaps upon initiation. Different Types of SwapsCommon types of swaps include interest rate swaps, commodity swaps, currency swaps, and debt-equity swaps.Interest rate swaps are used to hedge against interest rate risk and involve cash flows exchanged between two parties that are comprised of a notional principal amount. A financial intermediary or a bank is used for swaps but these are dependent upon both party’s comparative advantage.Commodity swaps use the exchange of a floating commodity price, with a predetermined set price for a specific period while crude oil is the most heavily swapped commodity. Meanwhile, currency swaps involve the exchange of principal payments of debt and interest that are denominated in different currencies. An example of a currency swap would be when the U.S. Federal Reserve conducted a swap with central banks of Europe during the 2010 European financial crisis.Used as a way to reallocate capital structure or refinance debt, a debt-equity swap deals with the exchange of debt for equity. For instance, a public traded company would issue bonds for stocks. Swaps are not exchange-traded instruments but rather customized contracts traded in an over-the-counter market between parties. While the swaps industry is primarily used by firms and financial institutions, retail traders have been known to participate although there is always a risk of counterparty’s defaulting on agreed-upon swaps.

Read this Term and futures will be available for top assets such as Aave (AAVE), Solana (SOL) and Litecoin (LTC). As of press time, over 350 cryptocurrencies are available on OKX.
“We are the first global crypto exchange of our size to integrate at this level with TradingView. Our primary focus is to bring better tooling and insights to crypto traders by allowing them to analyze market data, create custom charts, and use those signals to make more informed trades. With this partnership, TradingView customers can place trades via OKX without leaving the site, while OKX customers can make the most of TradingView charting within the OKX exchange. This enables faster decision-making for traders and saves them having to click in and out of different views,” Haider Rafique, the Global Chief Marketing Officer at OKX, commented.
Last week, OKX received a provisional virtual assets license from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) to facilitate qualified investors through an approved list of products and services.
