Buy OXYON

Before trading, users should understand that OXYON is not crude oil and is not a directly owned Occidental Petroleum common share.

What Is OXYON?

OXYON is the MEXC ticker for Ondo's tokenized Occidental Petroleum product.

Ondo identifies the asset as:

OXYon: Occidental Petroleum (Ondo Tokenized).

The economic chain is:

Oil and Gas Markets

Occidental Petroleum

↓

OXY common stock

OXYON

OXYON therefore provides a different type of exposure from directly buying crude oil or an oil futures contract.

What Is OXY?

OXY is Occidental Petroleum's common stock.

Occidental's current continuing operations are divided into:

• Oil and Gas;
• Midstream and Marketing.

Oxy Low Carbon Ventures is included within Midstream and Marketing.

Occidental sold OxyChem to Berkshire Hathaway for $9.7 billion in January 2026, so older three-segment company descriptions should not be used when evaluating the company's current continuing operations.

Step 1: Create or Log In to MEXC

Open the official MEXC website or app and log in.

Before funding the account, consider enabling available security measures such as:

• Two-factor authentication;
• Anti-phishing protections;
• Withdrawal security;
• Device monitoring.

Never provide passwords or authentication codes to another person.

Step 2: Check OXYON Eligibility

Tokenized securities may be subject to different regulatory rules from ordinary cryptocurrencies.

Before trading, check whether:

• OXYON is displayed for your account;
• Spot trading is available;
• Deposits and withdrawals are available if needed;
• Your jurisdiction permits access.

Ondo's global tokenized-stock products are subject to jurisdictional and investor-eligibility restrictions.

Step 3: Prepare USDT

MEXC's market is:

OXYON/USDT

Therefore, users normally need USDT to buy through this specific spot pair.

Depending on the account and region, USDT may be obtained through supported:

• Deposits;
• Fiat services;
• Spot trading;
• Other conversion routes.

Check the network carefully when transferring crypto assets.

Step 4: Open OXYON/USDT

Visit:

OXYON/USDT Spot Trading

The live MEXC page provides:

• Price chart;
• Order book;
• Market trades;
• Spot-order interface;
• Open orders;
• Order history;
• Trade history.

Step 5: Verify the Correct Product

Confirm:

Ticker: OXYON

Underlying company: Occidental Petroleum

Tokenization provider: Ondo

Do not confuse OXYON with:

• OXY common stock;
• WTI;
• Brent;
• Oil futures;
• Energy-sector tokens.

MEXC describes OXYON as an Ondo tokenized-stock trading pair.

Step 6: Understand What You Are Buying

Before placing an order, separate three different assets:

WTI

A crude-oil benchmark.

OXY

Equity in Occidental Petroleum.

OXYON

A tokenized product linked economically to OXY.

Buying OXYON therefore does not give direct ownership of a barrel of oil.

Step 7: Check Occidental Fundamentals

Because OXYON is linked to OXY, users may want to check recent Occidental developments before trading.

Important variables include:

• Oil prices;
• Production;
• Debt;
• Earnings;
• Dividend;
• Berkshire ownership;
• Carbon projects.

For example, Occidental reported Q1 2026 production of 1.426 million BOE/day and approximately $13.3 billion principal debt as of May 5 after substantial repayments.

Step 8: Check Oil Prices

Oil prices are not the only driver, but they can be important.

For Q1 2026:

• WTI averaged $71.93/bbl;
• Occidental realized $69.91/bbl for worldwide crude production.

This demonstrates why users should not assume OXY or OXYON will move by exactly the same percentage as WTI.

Step 9: Review the OXYON Order Book

The MEXC order book shows current bids and asks.

Before buying, check:

• Best bid;
• Best ask;
• Spread;
• Depth;
• Quantity available near the current price.

Tokenized-stock liquidity can differ substantially from the liquidity of the underlying NYSE-listed stock.

What Is the Bid-Ask Spread?

Suppose:

Highest bid = 48.90 USDT

Lowest ask = 49.20 USDT

The difference is:

0.30 USDT

A wider spread can increase trading costs.

Users should therefore consider both the displayed price and the actual liquidity available.

Step 10: Choose Market or Limit

Market Order

A Market order attempts to execute immediately against available sellers.

Advantages:

• Fast;
• Simple.

Risks:

• Less price control;
• Potential slippage.

Limit Order

A Limit order allows the user to specify the maximum price they are willing to pay.

For example:

Current OXYON price:

50 USDT

Desired entry:

48 USDT

A Limit order at 48 will execute only if matching sellers become available.

The advantage is greater price control.

The disadvantage is that the order may never fill.

Step 11: Enter the Amount

Enter either:

• OXYON quantity; or
• USDT amount,

depending on the live MEXC interface.

Review:

Quantity × Execution Price

to estimate total cost.

Always check current minimum-order and fee information before submitting.

Step 12: Submit the Order

After reviewing:

• Product;
• Order type;
• Price;
• Quantity;
• Total amount,

submit the order.

Market orders can execute quickly when liquidity is available.

Limit orders may remain open.

Step 13: Review the Completed Trade

After execution, check:

• OXYON balance;
• Average fill price;
• Total USDT spent;
• Trading history.

This is particularly useful when a Market order fills at several price levels.

How to Sell OXYON

Selling uses the same spot market.

1. Open OXYON/USDT.
2. Select Sell.
3. Choose Market or Limit.
4. Enter the quantity.
5. Review the expected USDT proceeds.
6. Submit.

Execution still depends on available liquidity.

Why OXYON Can Move When the NYSE Is Closed

Oil and geopolitical news can occur at any time.

For example:

• OPEC+ announcements;
• Middle East developments;
• Supply disruptions;
• Inventory information.

OXYON traders can react to such information through tokenized markets even when the latest OXY regular-session price has not yet updated.

This can create temporary pricing differences between OXY and OXYON.

Does Buying OXYON Mean You Own Occidental Stock Directly?

No.

Ondo's tokenized-stock system is designed to provide economic exposure backed by underlying securities held through U.S.-registered broker-dealer infrastructure.

The token is still a separate instrument from direct OXY common-stock ownership.

What About OXY Dividends?

Occidental currently pays a regular quarterly common dividend, with $0.26 per share paid in April and July 2026.

Ondo's global tokenized-stock structure uses total-return tracking, generally reinvesting applicable dividends after withholding taxes into underlying exposure rather than treating every dividend as an identical cash payment to the tokenholder.
