Global cryptocurrency exchange OKX has formally launched its U.S. operations, introducing a centralized trading platform and self-custody Web3 wallet as part of a broader expansion strategy. The company has also appointed Roshan Robert as CEO of its U.S. division and established a regional headquarters in San Jose, California.
The exchange is now available to existing OKcoin users, who are being transitioned to the OKX platform. New customers will be onboarded in phases ahead of a nationwide rollout later this year. The platform offers a high-performance trading engine, competitive fee structure, deep liquidity, and integrated support for U.S. dollar deposits and withdrawals.
In addition to its exchange, OKX has launched a Web3 wallet aimed at simplifying digital asset management. The wallet supports more than 130 blockchains and allows users to conduct token swaps, transfer assets across chains, explore NFTs, and access decentralized applications—all within a single mobile or browser-based interface.
“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.
Roshan Robert, who brings extensive experience in capital markets and regulatory strategy, will lead the company’s U.S. operations. His role will focus on advancing regulatory engagement and ensuring the development of compliant digital asset solutions.
“I’m excited to lead OKX’s efforts in the US and bring our customers a flexible, high-performance crypto experience,” Robert said.
To reinforce its commitment to transparency, OKX continues to publish monthly proof-of-reserve reports, independently verified by blockchain security firm Hacken. These reports confirm that customer assets held on the platform are fully backed.
The expansion positions OKX as a new competitor in the U.S. crypto market, offering institutional-grade infrastructure while navigating a regulatory environment that remains under active development.
