What Is the OKX Listing Fee in 2025?

In 2025, the cost for evaluation and onboarding will be $300,000–$500,000, based on market experience and our recent cases, which covers marketing expenses both before and after the listing. Fees fluctuate with due‑diligence complexity, token risk profile, and expected trading demand. Plan separately for liquidity provisioning, market making, audits, and marketing — those are not part of the exchange fee.

Key Drivers of the Fee

• Liquidity potential and realistic volume projections
• Smart contract audit quality (recognized firms) and contract stability
• Team transparency, KYC readiness, and legal entity status
• Community traction (organic engagement, KOLs, partnerships)
• Token utility, roadmap credibility, and ecosystem fit with OKX

How to Optimize Your Fee and Approval Chances

1) Submit a complete, English‑language dossier (whitepaper, audits, tokenomics, company docs).
2) Present a credible liquidity plan (depth targets, MM partner, initial pair preferences).
3) Demonstrate verified traction (users, integrations, community metrics, on‑chain data).
4) Address compliance early (jurisdiction, IP, licensing, AML procedures).
5) Keep communications responsive — delays often come from slow replies to follow‑ups.

Timeline You Can Expect

• Week 3–4: Compliance review & Q/A
