OKX, a leading crypto exchange, has officially launched its exchange and web3 wallet services in the United States and has established a regional headquarters in San Jose, California. With this move, users based out of the US can now access its platform, which also signifies the company’s global reach.

Furthermore, customers in the US can now access their high-performance trading platform, with existing customers migrating seamlessly and new customers gradually gaining access ahead of a full nationwide launch.

As part of its comprehensive US strategy, the company has appointed Roshan Robert as US CEO. These strategic moves underscore their commitment to delivering secure, compliant, and innovative crypto solutions while staying ahead of evolving US regulatory frameworks.

OKX Phased Expansion Plan

The company focuses its phased expansion plan on transparency and compliance, and it responds to the underlying positive shift in the current US crypto market.

Recently, crypto firm Galaxy Digital announced plans to reorganize and redomicile from the Cayman Islands to Delaware, reflecting a “new wind of change” in the US administration’s stance toward crypto businesses.

Under President Donald Trump, the regulatory environment has become somewhat favorable for the industry, with the rollback of several legal investigations and, most notably, the recent signing of legislation blocking the proposed DeFi broker rule.

The crypto exchange giant is also launching a new self-custody wallet for US users, which will allow users to easily and securely take complete control of their crypto.

The wallet supports over 130 blockchains and includes built-in tools to swap tokens, move assets across chains, explore NFTs, and access popular Web3 apps—from one simple mobile app or browser extension. It’s designed to make navigating the world of crypto and Web3 easier for everyone, whether you’re just getting started or already deep in space.

Users Benefits Following Expansion

The company established its US headquarters in San Jose, California, positioning itself at the heart of Silicon Valley’s innovation ecosystem. This strategic move strengthens its regional operations, enabling it to recruit top-tier talent, foster cutting-edge product development, and expand its presence in the world’s largest financial market.

Market reactions are cautiously optimistic. Although we found no public statements from key executives, the crypto community typically views such expansions as a positive signal for broader market adoption.

Despite the challenges the company faced in the past, including the U.S. Department of Justice’s February 24 decision to impose a $84 million penalty, the company’s move to establish its headquarters shows a resilient strength of service to its customers in the United States.
