OKX US is the U.S. crypto exchange operated by OKX INC., formerly OKCoin USA Inc. The platform launched under the OKX brand in April 2025, alongside the OKX Wallet and a U.S. regional headquarters in San Jose, California. Roshan Robert serves as CEO of OKX US, while the broader OKX business was founded by Mingxing “Star” Xu.
OKX INC. is registered federally as a Money Services Business and operates as a state-licensed money transmitter under NMLS ID 1767779. These registrations and licenses govern its U.S. operations and should not be interpreted as a federal securities or banking license. Product availability can vary by state.
The platform provides spot crypto trading and buy, sell, and convert services, with supported USD deposits and withdrawals. It also offers APIs and trading tools for eligible customers. OKX Wallet is a separate self-custodial Web3 wallet, meaning users control their own private keys rather than having assets held by the exchange.
For assets held on the centralized exchange, OKX states that it maintains reserves of at least 1:1 and publishes monthly Proof of Reserves reports using on-chain wallet verification and zk-STARK technology. Digital assets held with OKX are not FDIC insured.
