OKX $2.08B , a crypto exchange based in Seychelles, has announced plans to bring its services back to the United States.

As part of the relaunch, the company named Roshan Robert as the new CEO for its US branch.

OKX will bring the launch in stages, rather than opening the platform to everyone at once. A full nationwide rollout is expected later in 2025. Robert said this approach is meant to make the process safer and more stable for everyone involved.

OKX also plans to support direct connections with local banks, which will make it easier for users to deposit and withdraw funds. The platform will include support for cryptocurrencies like BTC BTC $90,010.69 , ETH ETH $3,104.38 , USDT USDT $1.00 , and USDC USDC $1.00 .

To build trust, OKX publishes monthly proof-of-reserve reports prepared by Hacken, a cybersecurity firm.

In addition to trading, US users will also get access to the OKX Wallet. This product works across 130 different blockchains and includes a feature that connects users to multiple decentralized exchanges (DEXs). That means users will be able to access over 10 million tokens across networks like Solana SOL $131.50 , Ethereum, and Base.

Recently, the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken added US stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to its platform. What did co-CEO Arjun Sethi say about it? Read the full story.
