OKX has just launched a new "social networking" feature called Orbit, aiming to address the issue of credibility in online trading discussions. Orbit will be rolled out gradually in phases, initially to a group of users for beta testing.
With Orbit, traders can post market analysis, start live streams, create chat groups, and even place orders in real time directly within the app. A notable feature is that users can choose to display verified metrics such as portfolio performance, profit/loss, and win rate – instead of just showing screenshots as before.
OKX says it wants to bridge the “trust gap” in the social trading community, where many people often publish data selectively. Orbit also supports dollar-shaped tags (e.g., $ BTC, $ETH, $ SOL), allowing users to click directly on the trading interface to place orders.
The trend of "combining social with trading" is not new: Binance launched its Binance Square content/social network platform in 2023 to allow users to follow traders, Chia perspectives, and interact within the exchange's ecosystem.
This move also comes as OKX is expanding its institutional client base. This week, ICE – the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) – announced a $25 billion investment in OKX ; accompanying information also mentioned ICE holding a seat on the board of directors and plans related to Tokenize NYSE shares and Derivative on OKX.
