OKX Surges Past $25B Valuation with Major Financial Group Stake

OKX has emerged as one of the largest crypto platforms in the world, boasting over 50 million users and a wide range of trading products. The platform allows users to trade more than 350 coins, use up to 125x leverage on futures, and connect to DeFi through its own Web3 wallet.

In addition to its robust trading features, OKX has made significant strides in terms of regulation. In early 2025, the company secured a full MiCA licence for all 30 European countries, and returned to the US market after a large settlement with regulators. By March 2026, a major financial group linked to the NYSE took a stake in the company at a $25 billion valuation.

One of OKX's key strengths is its competitive fee structure. The platform uses a maker-taker model, with spot trades starting at 0.08 percent for makers and 0.10 percent for takers. Futures start at 0.02 percent maker and 0.05 percent taker.
