In today’s fast-evolving cryptocurrency landscape, users are seeking smarter, safer, and more efficient ways to grow their assets. One solution gaining significant traction is structured products — financial instruments that blend capital protection with strategic yield opportunities. At OKX, we’ve developed a comprehensive and diverse structured product system designed to meet the needs of traders across all experience levels and risk tolerances.
Our Shark Fin product, for instance, has become a standout favorite. This principal-protected offering features short terms of just 3 or 7 days, making it ideal for users with limited capital who want to engage with market movements without taking on excessive risk. Weekly subscription quotas for Shark Fin range between $200 million and $300 million — and nearly every round sells out in advance. This growing demand reflects a broader trend: users want accessible, transparent, and flexible tools that deliver value regardless of market direction.
The Evolution of Structured Products in Crypto
Structured products are not new to finance. In traditional markets (TradFi), they’ve long been used to combine fixed-income instruments with derivatives, creating tailored investment vehicles that balance risk and return. However, their adaptation into the crypto space is relatively recent.
The first wave of crypto-native structured products emerged around 2020–2021, led by innovations like Dual Investment. Platforms such as Matrixport, KuCoin, and Bybit soon followed suit. OKX entered this space early, recognizing the need for products that could serve both cautious beginners and experienced traders navigating volatile digital asset markets.
Today, OKX stands out with a systematically developed ecosystem of structured products — including Shark Fin, Dual Investment, and Snowball — each engineered to address specific user goals and market conditions.
Core Components of OKX’s Structured Product System
Our structured product suite is built on three foundational pillars:
- Trading Tools: Designed to assist users in executing informed strategies.
- Basic Structured Products: Low-risk, principal-protected options ideal for conservative investors.
- Advanced Structured Products: Medium-risk instruments offering higher potential returns for seasoned traders.
This tiered approach ensures that whether you're new to crypto or managing large portfolios, there's a product tailored to your needs.

Dual Investment: Steady Returns in Any Market
Dual Investment is perfect for sideways or mildly volatile markets. Users select a crypto pair — such as BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT — and set a target price. If the market reaches that price by expiration, they earn returns in the chosen cryptocurrency. If not, they still receive interest on their stablecoin holdings.
This dual-outcome mechanism allows users to benefit from market movement while maintaining downside protection — a powerful combination for building confidence in uncertain conditions.
Shark Fin: Flexibility Meets Capital Protection
Shark Fin appeals to users looking to capitalize on both upward and downward price swings. With a guaranteed base yield and enhanced returns if market conditions align with predictions, Shark Fin offers an engaging yet secure experience.
Key advantages include:
- Principal protection even during high volatility
- Flexible investment amounts from 10 USDT to 1.5 million USDT
- Short durations (3 or 7 days) for rapid capital rotation
- No subscription fees
This accessibility makes Shark Fin one of the most inclusive structured products available today.
Snowball: For Strategic Capital Deployment
Snowball caters to professional traders and high-net-worth individuals seeking advanced risk management and compounding strategies. With a minimum entry of 50,000 USDT, Snowball enables users to construct dynamic hedging and yield-generation strategies across various market cycles.
Its auto-exercising feature allows profits to be locked in automatically when preset conditions are met — reducing emotional decision-making and enhancing discipline.
