3. Compared with the existing account system in the market, the unified trading account multi-currency margin model simultaneously buys and sells derivative products settled by different digital assets through one trading account, and realizes the margin sharing of different product lines at the same time;

4. The core of OKEx’s multi-currency margin system lies in the US dollar pricing and automatic currency exchange rules;
