The expansion includes the launch of OKX’s centralised exchange and OKX Wallet, with regional headquarters established in San Jose, California.
As part of the expansion, the firm said existing OKCoin users will be migrated to the OKX platform, gaining access to “deeper liquidity, lower fees, and advanced trading tools.”
“I’m thrilled to announce the launch of OKX’s centralized crypto exchange and OKX Wallet in the United States,” said Robert. “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 added that US customers can now buy, sell, and convert cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and USDC, with support for local bank integrations.
The exchange also highlighted that it prioritises user security. “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,” they wrote.
The newly launched OKX Wallet supports over 130 blockchains, offering decentralised trading, bridging, and dApp access across DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and social platforms.
The company pointed to its commitment to regulatory compliance, stating it is working closely with US regulators and has implemented systems for KYC, fraud detection, AML, and market surveillance as part of its approach to US expansion.
