On the OKX homepage, navigate to the Finance section → Select Lending → Click Borrow Now → Add Collateral Assets → Choose BNB as the borrowing asset → Enter the amount and confirm the loan.
Exchange-based lending offers a convenient borrowing process, but loan availability is often limited due to high demand.
Go to Trade and select a BNB trading pair → Click Margin → Select Borrow → Transfer assets to the Cross Margin Account as collateral → Enter the desired BNB amount and confirm the loan.
Cross margin borrowing allows flexible fund utilization, but it typically limits borrowing to 50% of the collateral value.
Buy BNB in the spot market → Short BNB in the futures market.
When using contract hedging, consider two key factors:
Funding Rate – Monitor the funding rate settlement time. If the rate is negative, short sellers must pay a fee. To avoid this cost, close the position before the countdown ends.
Price Spread – Aim for minimal price difference when opening and closing positions. Ideally, buying and shorting at the same price, then closing both at the same price, prevents losses. Poor execution may lead to minor slippage, so it’s best to trade when spreads are narrow.
