OKX envisages a US stock market entry, as hinted by its chief marketing officer, marking a potential strategic shift towards the American market.
OKX envisagerait une entree en bourse aux Etats-Unis
The crypto giant, OKX, is possibly gearing up for a masterstroke: a debut on the American stock market. While not yet official, the words of the marketing director, Haider Rafique, leave little room for doubt:
We will absolutely consider an IPO in the future. And if we do, it will likely be in the United States.
A statement of significance in a context where American regulators were still wary of crypto exchanges a few months ago. Nevertheless, OKX seems poised to play in the big leagues, on the most exposed playing field in the world.
Une annonce qui fait bondir le token OKB
Mentioning an IPO alone was enough to ignite the markets. The platform’s native token, OKB, surged by 9.8% in a matter of hours, climbing from just above $50 to a peak at $55.11, before correcting the entire increase. A clear sign: investors believe in OKX’s transformation into a publicly traded company. This rapid rise echoes that of Circle (CRCL), whose IPO in early June on the New York Stock Exchange resulted in a 675% surge in the stock price. Crypto IPOs are once again powerful catalysts.
Un nouveau depart apres 500 millions de dollars d’amende
The sudden interest in the US is not arbitrary. In April 2025, OKX established an official headquarters in San Jose, California. This decision came right after paying $500 million to settle a lawsuit with the Department of Justice: the exchange operated without a money transmission license. Today, everything indicates that OKX wants to turn the page. A potential IPO would be a strong signal of strategic repositioning in the US, despite the ongoing regulatory climate.
Le grand bal des introductions crypto
OKX may not be the only one making this bet. Kraken and Bullish (parent company of CoinDesk) have also announced their intention to go public, likely on American markets. This coordinated movement suggests a shift in the industry: despite pressure, crypto exchanges are now focusing on transparency, regulation… and Wall Street.
Une IPO OKX en 2025 ?
No date, no figures. For now, OKX remains officially silent. But the message is clear: after years of worldwide expansion from the Seychelles, the exchange aims to firmly establish itself in the American financial ecosystem. What if 2025 became the year when crypto is prominently featured on Times Square screens?
