A Message from Roshan Robert, CEO of OKX U.S.
Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of leading and contributing to transformative blockchain initiatives that deepened my understanding of this technology’s revolutionary potential. I’ve witnessed the evolution of the crypto industry from its early stages to its current momentum—a pivotal moment where digital assets are increasingly intersecting with traditional finance and global capital markets. At this exciting juncture, I’m honored to join OKX as CEO of our U.S. operations. My mission is clear: to expand OKX’s presence across America by delivering secure, transparent, and compliant access to digital assets for everyone.
OKX Officially Launches in the United States
Today marks a historic milestone: OKX’s centralized exchange and OKX Web3 Wallet are now live for U.S. users, with our regional headquarters established in San Jose, California. This launch represents more than just market expansion—it’s a commitment to advancing financial inclusion through innovation.
American users can now access a high-performance platform designed for both beginners and advanced traders. We’re rolling out new features throughout the year as we work toward our vision of building a true crypto super app—a unified gateway to all things digital assets.
As part of this transition, existing OKCoin customers will be seamlessly migrated to the OKX platform. This integration brings significant upgrades: deeper liquidity, lower trading fees, and enhanced trading tools, including advanced order types and real-time analytics.
To ensure a smooth onboarding experience, we’re adopting a phased rollout for new user registrations. This allows us to maintain platform stability and security while gradually scaling nationwide. Full availability across all eligible U.S. states is expected by late 2025.

OKX has long been a global pioneer in on-chain technology. Now, we’re bringing that expertise to the world’s largest financial market. U.S. users can easily buy, sell, and convert major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and USDC—all integrated with local bank accounts for seamless fiat-to-crypto onboarding.
Our goal is simple: create an inclusive, user-friendly ecosystem where anyone—from first-time buyers to seasoned investors—can confidently navigate the digital economy.
Core Values: Security and Transparency First
Trust is the foundation of any financial platform—and at OKX, it’s non-negotiable.
We provide Proof of Reserves (PoR) for all customer assets, verified monthly by independent blockchain security firm Hacken. These reports are publicly available, allowing users to independently verify that their funds are fully backed at all times.
But we go beyond static audits. OKX actively promotes on-chain transparency, enabling third-party verification of fund flows and smart contract integrity. We also collaborate with compliance partners to strengthen industry-wide standards, ensuring accountability across every layer of our infrastructure.
This multi-layered approach includes:
- Robust Know Your Customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) protocols
- Advanced fraud detection systems powered by AI
- Geolocation-based access controls to comply with regional regulations
- Real-time market surveillance to prevent manipulation
By combining technological rigor with regulatory cooperation, OKX sets a new benchmark for responsible growth in the crypto space.
OKX Web3 Wallet: Your Gateway to the Decentralized Internet
The launch isn’t limited to trading. The OKX Web3 Wallet is now available to U.S. users—an all-in-one portal designed to simplify engagement with decentralized applications (dApps).
With support for over 130 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Base, and more, the wallet enables seamless cross-chain interactions. Whether you're swapping tokens, bridging assets, or exploring NFTs, everything happens in one secure interface.

A Commitment to Responsible Growth in America
Entering the U.S. market is not just about scale—it’s about stewardship.
We recognize that innovation must be balanced with responsibility, especially in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. That’s why OKX is proactively engaging with policymakers and regulators to help shape sensible frameworks that protect consumers without stifling progress.
Our global compliance framework is built on risk-based principles, incorporating:
- Enhanced due diligence for high-risk jurisdictions
- Dynamic customer risk scoring models
- Real-time transaction monitoring and suspicious activity reporting
By aligning with U.S. financial regulations while preserving the core values of decentralization, OKX aims to become a trusted bridge between traditional finance and the future of digital assets.
