OKX is a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange and derivatives exchange founded by Star Xu in 2017. It is owned by OK Group, which also owns another crypto exchange called OKcoin. OKX offers a variety of crypto trading and earning services such as spot, margin, futures, options, perpetual swaps, DeFi, lending and mining.
However, OKX has also faced some problems and controversies in its past. For example, in October 2020, the exchange suspended withdrawals for several weeks after one of the private key holders was detained by the police. In June 2021, OKX was blocked by some Chinese internet platforms after the Chinese government's crackdown on crypto activities.
