Circle and Tether did a Great job this time.
The crypto industry, including exchanges and stablecoin issuers, should work together to build an industry-wide security response mechanism.
We need a real-time alert system that allows participants to share information immediately when a hack occurs, coordinate a rapid response, and temporarily freeze suspected stolen funds before they can be moved or laundered.
Speed is critical. We should establish standardized protocols, clear responsibilities, and appropriate safeguards to ensure we can act within minutes, not hours or days.
Protecting users and their assets should be a shared responsibility across the entire industry, not just individual platforms.

An exciting step toward bringing perpetual futures into the regulated U.S. market.
Combining ICE’s institutional-grade market infrastructure, Trade[XYZ]’s onchain innovation, and OKX’s distribution and trading technology could help create a new generation of global, 24/7 financial markets.
Different technologies. Different strengths. One shared vision: making financial markets more open, efficient, and accessible.
Looking forward to building this together. 🚀

OKX Shield is more than a protection program. It’s designed to encourage users to adopt stronger account security through technologies such as passkeys, secure enclaves, and anti-deepfake protection.
We backtested these security measures against five years of historical account takeover cases. The results were encouraging: very few of those cases would have succeeded if users had enabled these protections.
Our goal is to prevent account takeovers before they happen—not just compensate users afterward.
OKX Shield covers eligible account takeover incidents, but not scams involving transactions authorized by users.
Better security. Stronger prevention. Real protection.
That’s how we build trust through technology. 🛡️
It’s hard to believe it’s been 7 years! Bittersweet to wrap up a chapter with an inspiring partner and friend like @Haider.
Thank you, Haider, for your leadership, creativity, and unmatched energy in building @okx globally. You’ve played a defining role in shaping our brand into what it is today while getting our team ready for the next phase.
Enjoy every moment of your well-deserved break with family. Will miss you, and can’t wait to see what you adventure into next!
After almost seven years at @OKX, I am stepping back from my role to take a meaningful break, focus on my family and personal priorities, and make space for what comes next.
It has been an incredible privilege to help build the @OKX brand and see its growth. I am deeply grateful to Star Xu @star_okx for his trust, partnership, and the opportunities he created for all of us.
And thank you to every OKX employee I have had the privilege to work alongside. I am proud of what we built together and excited to see the company continue to grow.
This is not goodbye. It is simply the next chapter.

13 years ago, OKX started as a crypto exchange.
Today, we’re building for something much bigger.
Crypto changed how value moves. AI will change how financial institutions operate. The internet connects everything.
At OKX Now, I shared how we see the next generation of finance: more open, global, 24/7, intelligent, and increasingly onchain.
The infrastructure is changing. The products are changing. The users are changing.
Our job is simple: keep building ahead of that change.
Still learning. Still building. 🚀

Grateful to welcome Circle, Ripple, QRT and SC Ventures as investors in OKX.
We didn’t raise capital because we needed it. We chose to bring in strategic partners who share our long-term vision for stablecoins, payments, institutional markets, and the next generation of financial infrastructure.
13 years in, we’re still early.
More to build. 🚀
NEW: Crypto exchange OKX has raised new funding at a $25 billion valuation from Qube Research & Technologies, Circle, Ripple, and Standard Chartered's SC Ventures, Bloomberg reported.
OKX did not disclose the amount raised, which extends an approximate $200 million March funding round at the same valuation.

We've been building toward this for years.
At OKX Now, we're bringing the onchain finance era to all. Markets, payments, AI, and the next generation of financial infrastructure all converging faster than ever.
See how the pieces fit together on 6 October in Singapore.

OKX Europe has quickly become one of the most liquid exchanges in the EU for both spot and X-Perps.
Deep liquidity is the foundation of a great trading experience: better execution, tighter spreads, and more efficient markets.
We’re still early. We’ll keep building the best trading experience for European users. 🇪🇺

⚡️ The Real Cost of Turning €1,000 into BTC
The full cost of moving €1,000 into $BTC and out to self-custody ranges from €2.44 to €30.60 across seven exchanges.
@OKX is the cheapest at €2.44, roughly 3x below @Bybit_Official (€7.31) and 12.5x below @Cryptocom, the priciest on the same route.
“Compliance is not just about obtaining a licence. It is about building a culture where governance, risk management, transparency, and customer protection are embedded into every decision we make.”
Eight years ago, in 2018, OKX began building our European business.
Over the past eight years, we have invested heavily in products, technology, governance, risk management, and regulatory engagement. We have worked closely with regulators across Europe to help shape the next generation of digital finance.
The journey has not always been perfect. Like every fast-growing company, we have encountered gaps, made mistakes, and faced intense regulatory scrutiny. When that happened, we addressed the issues, accepted responsibility, learned from them, and strengthened our controls and governance.
Today, OKX is proud to be the first company in the European Union to receive a MiCA licence, while also holding authorization for the broadest range of regulated crypto services under the MiCA framework.
Compliance is not just about obtaining a licence. It is about building a culture where governance, risk management, transparency, and customer protection are embedded into every decision we make.
We have invested significantly in building one of the industry’s strongest control frameworks and continue to work closely with independent external auditors to demonstrate the effectiveness of our governance and compliance systems.
Today, European users can access EUR on-ramp and off-ramp services, zero-fee stablecoin payments through the Mastercard network, hundreds of crypto spot trading pairs, and a comprehensive suite of crypto, commodity, and equity derivatives. We have also launched an AI-native Agentic infrastructure that enables customers to interact with our platform through AI agents, with many more innovations already in development.
Transparency has always been a core principle for us. We were the first major global platform to publish Proof of Reserves continuously for more than 40 consecutive months, helping establish what has since become an industry standard. Our Group financial statements are also audited by a Big Four accounting firm, reinforcing our commitment to financial governance and accountability.
Today, hundreds of OKX employees across Europe are building products and services for millions of users.
Our ambition goes far beyond becoming another crypto exchange.
We are building the financial infrastructure for the next generation of digital finance—bringing together crypto, traditional assets, payments, AI, and on-chain financial services on a single regulated platform.
This is only the beginning. Europe will continue to be one of the most important regions for OKX, and we remain committed to investing, innovating, and building here for decades to come.
This is the shift.
This is our answer to the shift that’s happening around us.
This is our offer to help you be an active part of the shift instead of being passively shifted out. 👇

What a huge loss? A loss for whom—European regulators or the people of Europe? What exactly did Europeans lose? Another October 11?
According to public reports, the company failed to demonstrate that its AML, sanctions compliance, and market integrity programs are effective, and did not obtain a license. Yet instead of reflecting on those issues, it claims that Europe is the loser.
That says a great deal about the company’s attitude toward the rule of law and financial regulation.
🔥CZ: BINANCE’S EU MICA FAILURE IS A “LOSS FOR EUROPE”
CZ claims Binance was once told by EU regulators that its MiCA application was "fully compliant" and close to approval.
He says two EU countries wanted Binance badly enough that there was a “bidding war” over where the exchange would be licensed.
However, “other forces” pushed back, forcing Binance to withdraw.
“It’s a loss for Binance. It’s also a loss for Europe.”
We have been building our Europe infrastructure for years with a long-term mindset.
A lot of upfront investments into people, compliance, product, and operational support. All such investments to make sure that we are building a regulated and useful home that can last for our EEA customers.
Come build your assets with @okx for the long term.👇
Bybit Global announced they too will be leaving Europe as they have no MICA license.
Don't let your funds get locked out or services fully disabled. Move your assets now to OKX and keep your assets safe and secure and enjoy access to the widest product range of any regulated crypto exchange in Europe.
Now we offer 8% on new deposits.
Don't wait to transfer your assets from Bybit Global and Binance to OKX.
