We Are Changing Our Name and Our Brand Identity

·

Starting today, we are proudly unveiling a new chapter in our journey: OKEx is now OKX.

We are no longer just an exchange — we are evolving into a comprehensive gateway to the future of digital finance and decentralized innovation. Our new identity, reflected across our platform at okx.com and our mobile apps, marks more than a rebrand. It represents a bold step forward in our mission to empower individuals globally through cutting-edge crypto technology.

Over the next six to twelve months, you’ll see this transformation unfold across every touchpoint — from our user interface and customer experience to our product ecosystem and community engagement. This is just the beginning.

Why the Change to OKX?

Our journey began when cryptocurrency was still in its infancy. Bitcoin had just emerged as a radical idea, Ethereum was being coded on whiteboards, and the concept of Web3 seemed like science fiction. But we saw something powerful in that vision — a future where financial freedom, personal sovereignty, and technological transparency weren’t privileges for the few, but rights for all.

That belief gave birth to OKEx — a platform built around the idea of an open exchange ("Ex") for digital assets. As one of the earliest centralized exchanges, we provided reliable infrastructure for millions to securely trade, stake, and grow their crypto portfolios. Today, with over 20 million users worldwide, we’ve become one of the most trusted names in the industry.

But the world has changed — and so have we.

The crypto ecosystem has exploded in scope and sophistication. Decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), blockchain gaming, metaverses, and self-custody wallets are no longer niche concepts — they’re mainstream innovations reshaping how people interact with value, identity, and ownership online.

In response, we’ve expanded far beyond centralized trading. We’re now building a full-stack Web3 ecosystem that bridges centralized reliability with decentralized possibility.

That’s why “Ex” no longer defines us.

By evolving into OKX, we’re embracing the unknown — the “X” symbolizing exploration, innovation, and infinite potential. It reflects our commitment to go beyond exchange services and become your ultimate access point to everything crypto and Web3.

A Future Built on Decentralization

Despite starting as a centralized exchange — a necessary foundation in crypto’s early days — we’ve never lost sight of decentralization as the ultimate goal. That’s why we’re investing heavily in open-source protocols, community-governed chains like OKC, and user-owned tools like MetaX.

We believe the future belongs to individuals — not intermediaries.
