Crypto Exchange OKX has introduced a new passive income option for users who own USDG, a Stablecoin issued by Paxos.
summary
- OKX launched the USDG automatic revenue feature on August 28, 2025, allowing users to earn passive income directly from their USDG holdings.
- The USDG is issued by Paxos Digital and regulated by the Singapore Monetary Authority (MAS), with 1:1 fully supporting US dollar reserves.
- Users can start at just 1 USDG and earn interest automatically without staking or locking funds.
According to an official announcement from OKX, the project called USDG Auto-earsing was launched on August 28, 2025 at 11:00 (UTC+8) to meet the dual demand for asset efficiency and income generation.
This offering is part of OKX’s broader push to support USDG, both as a collateral asset and asset that supports interest within its ecosystem. Users who hold USDG on their OKX accounts can now automatically earn interest without having to wager or lock their funds.
The USDG was launched by Paxos Digital in February 2025 and is regulated under the Financial Authority of Singapore (MAS). USD reserves are fully supported every 1:1, and have been approved as part of MAS’s upcoming Stablecoin regulatory framework aimed at improving transparency, security and compliance in the Stablecoin market.

OKX describes automatic USDG collection as a capital-efficient solution. In use cases such as mortgage lending and margin trading, USDG helps users to simultaneously generate passive income while optimizing capital. Importantly, there are no additional charges for income and no deposit caps. Users can earn based on the amount they hold and their returns will scale accordingly.
That said, OKX points out that some jurisdictions may or may not restrict this feature due to local regulations.
How to start gaining with OKX’s USDG feature
To participate, users must transfer the USDG to their OKX account and maintain at least one USDG balance in either their funds or trading account. Earnings start automatically the day after your deposit and do not require manual subscription.
For each exchange, the reward is calculated using this formula. “Profit = Minimum value for 24 hours snapshots per day x APR ÷ 365.
Although OKX does not disclose fixed APRs, the rates are dynamically adjusted based on supply and demand in the lending market, typically reflecting simple annual returns except for formulations.
Earnings are distributed directly to users’ fund accounts each week, making the process seamless and consistent. With strong regulatory support from MAS, flexible revenue conditions and automatic yield generation, this new feature transforms USDG into a versatile tool for both storage and strategy.
