The crypto is truly becoming mainstream; OKX is poised to transform into a "semi-traditional exchange" in the crypto space.
OKX just received strategic investment from its parent company, the NYSE, valuing the company at $25 billion. This is equivalent to traditional financial giants officially "endorsing" the crypto industry. In the future, institutional investors and large companies will feel more confident investing in it, and the "unorthodox" image of the crypto will gradually become more legitimate.
In the future, the competition will not be about who can shill, but about whose system is more stable, whose risk control is stronger, and whose institutions are more willing to use it.
Bitcoin and crypto assets will be seen more as “part of the financial infrastructure” than just as speculative commodities.
For OKX, the rapid increase in its compliance level is not primarily about short-term data, but rather the change in its identity. This represents a step towards upgrading from an "exchange" to a "financial infrastructure company."
Congratulations to OKX on starting a new chapter!
