Crypto exchange operator and Web3 tech company OKX has announced the launch of OKX’s centralized crypto exchange and OKX Wallet in the United States, alongside the establishment of new regional headquarters in San Jose, California. American customers now have access to the OKX platform, and the company will be rolling out new features throughout the year as part of its vision to build a crypto Super App.
As part of this expansion, existing OKCoin customers will be seamlessly migrated to the OKX platform. This migration brings customers a significantly enhanced experience — with access to deeper liquidity, lower fees, and advanced trading tools.
OKX said it is beginning with a phased rollout for new customers to ensure a smooth and secure onboarding process, with a broader nationwide launch planned later this year.
As part of the move into the US, Roshan Robert is joining OKX as US CEO. Roshan Robert was a Partner at crypto prime broker Hidden Road from 2019-2023, also serving as Hidden Road Group COO and CCO. In 2023-2024 he served as President & COO of digital asset lending platform CLST.
OKX said that it has long been a global leader in on-chain technology—and now, it is bringing that expertise to the world’s largest financial market. American customers can buy, sell, and convert top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and USDC, while also connecting traditional finance with crypto through seamless local bank account integrations.
Introducing the OKX Wallet
In addition to our centralized exchange, the OKX Wallet is available for American customers—a powerful Web3 gateway that supports over 130 blockchains. It offers five trading modes to fit customers experience levels and includes a DEX aggregator for access to 10M+ tokens across Ethereum, Solana, Base, and beyond. OKX’s AI-powered Web3 navigation helps customers identify trending tokens, simplify research, and make smarter trading decisions. With built-in support for advanced swapping, bridging, and dApp access across DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and social applications, the Wallet provides true ownership and freedom in the decentralized ecosystem.
A Responsible Approach to Expansion to America
OKX said that its entry into America is more than a market expansion—it’s a commitment to responsible growth. As regulations evolve, OKX said it is working closely with US regulators and policymakers to ensure it operates transparently and compliantly. OKX has built a comprehensive, risk-based global compliance program that includes enhanced due diligence, a robust KYC process, customer risk rating systems, advanced fraud detection, AML tools, geo-blocking, and market surveillance technologies, all part of its commitment to a secure, compliant trading environment.
