OKX Raises $25B Valuation with Circle, Ripple, Standard Chartered
Crypto exchange OKX has closed a new funding round at a $25 billion valuation, with Circle, Ripple, Qube Research & Technologies (QRT), and SC Ventures (Standard Chartered's investment arm) joining as investors. The amount invested and equity stakes were not disclosed. The investors are all existing business partners of OKX: Circle issues USDC, Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD is integrated into OKX's order book, QRT provides liquidity, and Standard Chartered custodies BlackRock's BUIDL fund used as collateral. CEO Star Xu framed the round as strategically aligned rather than driven by financial need. The valuation matches the $25 billion from ICE's investment in March, and OKX is considering a US IPO within four years. The company also launched OKX Money to convert local currencies into dollar stablecoins for emerging markets.
