OKX, the cryptocurrency exchange based in Seychelles, is embarking on an impressive expansion journey to the far west— the United States— with its new regional headquarters in San Jose, California.

Expanding Access to U.S. Traders

With this expansion, the exchange will provide access to its platform as well as the native OKX Wallet to U.S.-based cryptocurrency traders. The expansion underlines OKX’s commitment to responsible growth, especially under the leadership of the newly-appointed U.S. CEO, Roshan Robert. Robert, who formerly served as an executive at the institutional crypto lending platform CLST, was among the founding team at crypto prime broker Hidden Road, which was bought by Ripple for a staggering $1.25 billion recently.

Operating Transparently and Compliantly

In a fast-evolving regulatory ecosystem, OKX is initiating a strategic partnership with U.S. regulators and policymakers to function in a transparent and compliant manner, asserts Robert. With the purpose of maintaining secure and compliant trading environment, OKX has implemented comprehensive global compliance program. This includes comprehensive, risk-based regulations, advanced due diligence, a robust KYC process, customer risk rating systems, market surveillance technologies and enhanced fraud detection. Two months previously, a subsidiary of OKX settled charges that it functioned in the U.S. without a money transmitting license. This led to an agreement to pay the Department of Justice over $500 million in forfeited fees and penalties. The DOJ had claimed that despite having an official policy that prohibited U.S.-based users from accessing its platform, OKX sought customers in the United States.

U.S.: The Next Hotspot for Crypto Firms

OKX is not alone in its vision of expansion or return to U.S., which has grown significantly friendlier to the crypto industry under U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration. CoinList, a well-known token launch platform, recently announced a comeback to the U.S., after a break of five years. Bigger, globally recognized names, including Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, are reportedly pondering a return to the U.S. For existing customers of OKCoin, OKX’s U.S.-accessible sister company, the journey will be seamless as they will be automatically migrated to the OKX platform. According to the launch announcement made by the company the migration will provide customers with deeper liquidity, reduced fees and innovative trading tools. To conclude, the expansion of OKX into the U.S. signifies an impactful move that not only broadens the investment prospects for U.S. traders but also sets the pace for notable global players eyeing the evolving American cryptocurrency landscape.
