As part of its comprehensive US strategy, OKX has appointed Roshan Robert as US CEO and established its new regional headquarters in San Jose, California.

“With Roshan leading our US operations and our new San Jose headquarters, we’re reinforcing OKX’s commitment to regulatory excellence, responsible innovation, and talent recruitment,” said Hong Fang, Global President of OKX. “The US is a key part of OKX’s global growth strategy, and we are excited to continue expanding our presence here.”
A Powerful New Alternative for US Crypto Customers
OKX’s US exchange launch is part of a strategic rebranding effort that will enable existing OKcoin customers to onboard to the OKX platform. This migration process will enable customers to access OKX’s high-performance trading engine, low fees, deep liquidity, and seamless fiat on-ramps for USD deposits and withdrawals.
New customers will be onboarded in phases, with OKX planning a broader US launch later this year. By prioritizing a measured rollout, OKX aims to ensure a smooth, secure experience as it expands access to its advanced trading platform.

It’s designed to make navigating the world of crypto and Web3 easier for everyone, whether you’re just getting started or already deep in the space.
OKX maintains a global proof of reserve for all account assets on our platform and performs monthly proof of reserves reports verified by blockchain security firm Hacken, reinforcing transparency and trust in the assets held on our exchange.
