OKX secures $25B valuation in funding round with QRT, Circle, Ripple, and SC Ventures backing

Crypto exchange OKX has maintained its $25 billion valuation in a new funding round featuring Qube Research & Technologies (QRT), Circle, Ripple, and Standard Chartered’s SC Ventures. The fresh capital will help OKX enhance its market infrastructure amid growing collaboration between traditional finance and crypto sectors.

This funding signals increased integration of crypto platforms with traditional financial markets, potentially reshaping global market infrastructure.
