ICE Brent and ICE WTI Perpetual Futures to Launch on OKX

OKX and Intercontinental Exchange said they plan to launch perpetual futures based on ICE Brent Crude and ICE WTI Crude benchmarks, adding oil-linked products to OKX's derivatives lineup.

The announcement was published on May 22, 2026, and Reuters-syndicated coverage reported the same development the same day. ICE said the new products build on the strategic relationship and investment it announced with OKX in March 2026.

The move extends a growing link between traditional market infrastructure and crypto trading venues. Brent and WTI are among the most closely watched global oil benchmarks, and perpetual futures have become a common crypto derivatives structure because they do not have a fixed expiration date.

OKX's help documentation already describes commodity perpetuals, including Brent Oil and WTI Crude Oil references, indicating the exchange had been preparing related infrastructure before the announcement.

The companies did not specify a launch date in the materials reviewed, and it is not yet clear which jurisdictions will have access to the products. It also remains unclear whether trading has opened or the announcement refers only to planned listings.

For now, the announcement signals another step in ICE's push to connect its benchmark markets with crypto-native trading products, while giving OKX a higher-profile entry into energy-linked derivatives.
