Positions OKX as a leader in custodial and DeFi infrastructure.
OKX founder Star Xu announced on August 30 that OKX Earn’s asset size now exceeds $10 billion, underlining its role as a technical service provider on the X platform.
This milestone exemplifies OKX’s commitment to technical transparency, enhancing user trust and supporting further growth in staking, DeFi protocols, and institutional borrowing infrastructure in the cryptocurrency sector.
OKX Earn’s assets have surpassed tens of billions of dollars, signifying substantial growth in their custodial and DeFi offerings. Star Xu’s announcement via the X platform emphasizes OKX’s commitment to not directly raising funds but focusing on technical connectivity with diverse DeFi protocols and institutional borrowing needs.
The transition highlights OKX’s positioning as a leader in transparent financial practices, enhanced by its routine Proof of Reserves. These consistently published reserves reports ensure customers assets’ protection, positioning OKX as a stalwart in exchange credibility, especially after the FTX fiasco.
“OKX Earn’s asset size has exceeded tens of billions of US dollars, generating billions of dollars in returns for millions of users annually. OKX never raises funds from users, but is only a technical service provider for Earn, helping users connect with staking on various chains, various DeFi protocols, and institutions with borrowing needs.” — Star Xu, Founder & CEO, OKX OKX Announcement
Community and industry reactions reflect strong approval, with stakeholders valuing the clear delineation of roles and security features. OKX’s consistent efforts at transparency continue to foster trust and engage millions of users connecting through its services.
Did you know? In the wake of FTX’s collapse, OKX’s regular Proof of Reserves publication has set a standard that has become a benchmark for trust among global cryptocurrency exchanges.
Bitcoin (BTC) stands at $108,732.02, with a market cap of $2.17 trillion and a 57.45% market dominance, as cited by CoinMarketCap. Its trading volume decreased by 21.47% over the last 24 hours, while its price adjusted by 0.36% in the same period as of August 30, 2025.
Insights from the Coincu research team suggest that OKX’s approach may influence other exchanges to adapt similar models focused on transparency. As regulatory bodies scrutinize crypto operations, OKX’s model could become a standard for industry security and customer trust.
