OKX has published details regarding 'OKX Shield', a discretionary goodwill programme for certain OKX Europe users that may reimburse losses resulting from unauthorized third-party account takeovers. The programme is voluntary, subject to user opt-in and multiple eligibility and security requirements, and is not a form of insurance or deposit guarantee. Coverage limits vary by user tier, and claims are reviewed on a case-by-case basis with specific exclusions such as user-authorized transactions or incidents outside the activation period. Approved reimbursements, if any, are paid in euro-denominated stablecoins, and only one claim is allowed per identity across all OKX entities.

OKX is an international cryptocurrency exchange active since 2017, offering users a wide selection of over 100 cryptocurrencies for trading and investment. The platform features margin trading, investment programs, an educational academy, support for 20 languages, and both cold and hot wallet solutions for security.
