OKX

OKX is a global cryptocurrency exchange offering spot, margin, and derivatives markets alongside Web3 wallet and DeFi access tools. Formerly known as OKEx, the company rebranded to OKX and has built a multi-product stack that includes centralized trading, a self-custody multi-chain wallet with DEX aggregation and bridging features, and institutional services. Derivatives have historically accounted for a large share of its exchange volume, placing it among the leading venues for futures and options alongside major peers.

The platform serves retail and professional users under local entities and licenses that differ by market—examples reported publicly include U.S. relaunch activity with a San Jose headquarters footprint, MiCA-related European operations (e.g., Malta-licensed OKX Europe Limited), and registrations or authorizations in other regions. Beyond the CEX, OKX Wallet targets on-chain users across many networks, while OKX Ventures and institutional desks extend the brand into investment and professional trading.

In Cryptured taxonomy, OKX is classified as an Exchange. Directory readers should treat availability, products, and leverage rules as jurisdiction-specific. The firm regularly appears at industry conferences and in market-structure coverage focused on volume share, security incidents affecting Web3 products, and regulatory expansion.
