A message from OKX US CEO Roshan Robert
Over the past decade, I’ve had the opportunity to lead and contribute to initiatives that deepened my appreciation for the transformative potential of blockchain technology. I’ve watched the industry evolve from its earliest days to where it stands now—at a critical inflection point, interacting more directly with traditional finance and capital markets. At this exciting juncture, I’m honored to join OKX as the US CEO. I look forward to leading our expansion into the United States and broadening access to digital assets in a secure, transparent, and compliant way.
Announcing Our Launch in America
Today, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of OKX’s centralized crypto exchange and OKX Wallet in the United States, alongside the establishment of our regional headquarters in San Jose, California. American customers now have access to our high-performance platform, and we will be rolling out new features throughout the year as part of our vision to build a crypto Super App.
As part of this expansion, existing OKCoin customers will be seamlessly migrated to the OKX platform. This migration brings customers a significantly enhanced experience — with access to deeper liquidity, lower fees, and advanced trading tools.
We’re beginning with a phased rollout for new customers to ensure a smooth and secure onboarding process, with a broader nationwide launch planned later this year.
OKX has long been a global leader in on-chain technology—and now, we’re bringing that expertise to the world’s largest financial market. American customers can buy, sell, and convert top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and USDC, while also connecting traditional finance with crypto through seamless local bank account integrations.
Our goal? To offer a secure, transparent, and accessible alternative—built for everyone, from first-time customers to advanced traders.
Security and Transparency First
Trust and security are the foundation of OKX. We maintain a global proof of reserves for all assets on our platform and publish monthly, independently verified reports through blockchain security firm Hacken. This ensures our customers can always verify their funds and trust in our systems. We're also focused on verifying on-chain activities, supporting third-party compliance, and raising the bar for transparency across the industry.
Introducing the OKX Wallet
In addition to our centralized exchange, the OKX Wallet is available for American customers—a powerful Web3 gateway that supports over 130 blockchains. It offers five trading modes to fit customers experience levels and includes a DEX aggregator for access to 10M+ tokens across Ethereum, Solana, Base, and beyond. Our AI-powered Web3 navigation helps customers identify trending tokens, simplify research, and make smarter trading decisions. With built-in support for advanced swapping, bridging, and dApp access across DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and social applications, the Wallet provides true ownership and freedom in the decentralized ecosystem.
A Responsible Approach to Expansion to America
Our entry into America is more than a market expansion—it’s a commitment to responsible growth. As regulations evolve, OKX is working closely with US regulators and policymakers to ensure we operate transparently and compliantly. We’ve built a comprehensive, risk-based global compliance program that includes enhanced due diligence, a robust KYC process, customer risk rating systems, advanced fraud detection, AML tools, geo-blocking, and market surveillance technologies. These are all part of our commitment to a secure, compliant trading environment.
