Cryptocurrency exchange OKX is evaluating an initial public offering in the United States, Chief Marketing Officer Haider Rafique told The Information, saying a listing would “likely be in the U.S.” if it moves ahead. OKX ranks among the world’s largest digital-asset trading platforms by volume. The fundraising push would build on the company’s April 2025 return to the U.S. market, when it opened a regional headquarters in San Jose and launched a regulated trading platform. OKX’s comeback followed a $505 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice over historic money-transmitter and anti-money-laundering violations. A potential IPO would deepen OKX’s presence in the United States and tap investor appetite that has revived following Circle’s $1.1 billion stock-market debut this month. Several other crypto firms, including Gemini and Bullish, are also exploring listings as regulatory clarity improves. OKX has not yet filed paperwork or set a timetable for an offering. The Seychelles-headquartered exchange says it is prioritising compliance, operates under licences in Europe and Singapore, and is developing a so-called “super app” aimed at U.S. retail and institutional traders.
