OKX is a top-three global exchange offering spot, derivatives, and Web3 wallet services to 50M+ users across 180+ countries. The company operates under multiple regulated entities including a full VARA licence in Dubai and MAS operations in Singapore.
The Web3 wallet, launched in 2022, has become one of the largest self-custody wallets globally with native DEX aggregation, cross-chain swaps, and NFT trading — bridging OKX's centralized user base into on-chain activity.
The 2025 institutional prime brokerage rollout has brought OKX into direct competition with traditional prime brokers, with major hedge funds now routing derivative flow through OKX Prime.
The global exchange with the deepest integrated on-chain product story. We participated in the growth round following the Web3 wallet launch.
