OKX is one of the world's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, founded in 2017 by Star Xu as OKEx before rebranding to OKX in January 2022. Headquartered in Seychelles, OKX serves over 50 million users across more than 180 countries, consistently ranking among the top three global exchanges by trading volume — particularly dominant in the derivatives market where it competes directly with Binance and Bybit.

The platform offers a vast array of financial products: spot trading across 300+ cryptocurrency pairs, perpetual swaps, futures contracts, options, margin trading, and structured financial products. OKX is particularly renowned for its derivatives infrastructure, which consistently handles among the highest open interest and trading volumes globally. The platform provides advanced order types, comprehensive charting tools, and institutional-grade APIs.

In 2022, OKX launched its non-custodial Web3 wallet as a major strategic shift toward the decentralized ecosystem. The OKX Web3 Wallet supports 70+ blockchains, enabling direct access to DeFi protocols, DEX aggregation across multiple chains, NFT marketplaces, and cross-chain bridging — all within the OKX app. This positions OKX uniquely as a full-stack hub for both centralized and decentralized crypto activities.

The OKB token is OKX's platform utility token, providing fee discounts, participation in project launchpads (Jumpstart), staking rewards, and other platform benefits. OKX Earn provides yield opportunities through DeFi lending, flexible savings, on-chain staking, and structured products with various risk profiles.

OKX holds licenses and registrations across multiple jurisdictions including Malta (MGA), the Bahamas, Dubai (VARA), and others, reflecting a sustained commitment to operating within global regulatory frameworks. The exchange also provides dedicated institutional services including OTC trading, prime brokerage, and custody solutions.
