#OKX's strategic investment by ICE, the parent company of the NYSE, paves the way for its eventual US listing. This follows #Binance's strategic investment by the UAE National Fund last year, marking another top-tier offshore exchange embarking on its "onshore" journey. Just as the heroes of Liangshan eventually accepted amnesty after their time as bandits, onshore exchanges like Coinbase and HashKey, which prioritize compliance, have long since entered the capital markets.
Regarding the much-discussed $OKB, for IPO compliance, including shareholder rights, some platform token-enabled attributes must be stripped away, similar to BNB and HSK. I actually mentioned this when HashKey went public recently.

Therefore, even with the surge due to positive news, compared to the over $20 billion valuation of OKX Group in this round of financing, its actual FDV is only over $2 billion, which is indeed insufficient.
Also, due to compliance with listing regulations, X Layer has not participated in the current meme wars among major public chains, which has drawn much criticism and negatively impacted on-chain activity.
Even @star_okx has repeatedly warned of risks during periods of high market volatility, drawing criticism from p小将 (a user/organization), which is why I said I've been holding back.
Let's see if X Layer can take advantage of the compliance listing momentum to achieve success in DeFi and RWA businesses. Hopefully, it won't disappoint @wanghebbf and the community supporters.
