Our take
While cryptocurrency holds the promise of freedom in personal finances and the possibility of large financial rewards through trading, it can be intimidating to get started. OKX, a long-standing crypto currency exchange, exists to solve that problem, removing the knowledge barriers to cryptocurrency trading with an easy-to-use, all in one platform.
OKX is one of the larger cryptocurrency exchanges, though it is a bit smaller than the market leaders Binance and Coinbase Exchange. Where it shines is in the sheer range of its services which are designed to be versatile enough for any user, ranging from a crypto exchange to NFT and decentralized finance investment products. With a reputation for security and reliability, it has a userbase of over 50+ million active accounts in over 180 countries.
OKX is using its structural position in cryptomarkets to help support the entire sector, announcing a market recovery fund to protect crypto firms facing collapse following the FTX crisis. Additionally, it is expanding into Web3 gaming with a 2023 partnership with Thirdverse, further increasing the scope of its offering to its client base. As long as it can continue to weather the tough market conditions for cryptocurrency it should maintain its excellent position to continue its growth.
