But we saved everything 🙂.
As part of a major step to strengthen its presence in the global financial market, OKX has officially launched its centralized cryptocurrency exchange and OKX Wallet in the United States.
This launch marks OKX’s first significant expansion into the American market and is accompanied by the opening of its regional headquarters in San Jose, California.
According to Roshan Robert, CEO of OKX US, the rollout grants American users direct access to OKX’s high-performance platform, known for its deep liquidity, low trading fees, and advanced trading tools. The platform will be introduced in phases to ensure a smooth onboarding process for new users, with a broader rollout expected by the end of 2025.
As part of the expansion strategy, existing OKCoin users in the U.S. will be automatically migrated to the OKX platform. This transition promises an enhanced user experience through a wider range of assets and a more feature-rich interface.
“OKX has long been a global leader in on-chain technologies, and now we are bringing that expertise to the world’s largest financial market,” said Robert.
The new exchange platform allows users to buy, sell, and convert major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDT, and USDC. Seamless integration with U.S. bank accounts enables a smooth bridge between traditional finance and the crypto economy.
Complementing the exchange is the OKX Wallet — a Web3 gateway designed for both beginners and experienced users. It supports over 130 blockchains and provides access to decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), as well as gaming and social dApps. Key features include five trading modes, a DEX aggregator offering access to over 10 million tokens, and an AI-powered trend navigator for smarter decision-making.
Security and trust are top priorities for OKX. The platform publishes monthly proof-of-reserves reports, independently verified by blockchain security firm Hacken. These reports allow users to verify that their assets are fully backed at any time.
In addition, OKX is taking a proactive and responsible approach to U.S. regulatory compliance. The company has implemented a comprehensive compliance framework that includes strict KYC protocols, fraud detection tools, anti-money laundering (AML) systems, geo-blocking, and market activity surveillance.
By combining technological innovation with strong regulatory alignment, OKX aims to set a new standard for accessibility, transparency, and reliability in crypto services in the U.S. The company sees this move not just as market expansion but as a long-term commitment to American users and to building a secure, transparent digital asset ecosystem.
Notably, in January 2025, OKX announced that it had successfully obtained full licensing under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).
