OKX Gets New Funding From Circle, Standard Chartered at $25B Valuation<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Crypto exchange OKX has raised new funding at a $25 billion valuation, the company said on Tuesday, revealing investment from top digital asset companies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The crypto exchange said<\/a> in an announcement that stablecoin giant Circle, fintech firm Ripple and British bank Standard Chartered\u2019s investment arm, SC Ventures, all participated in the fundraise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

We’re announcing a strategic investment from @Circle<\/a>, QRT, @Ripple<\/a> and SC Ventures by @StanChart<\/a> at a $25 Billion pre-money valuation. <\/p>\n

This is how we’re aligning critical builders behind our vision for the next generation of onchain markets.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the Intercontinental Exchange invested<\/a> in the digital asset firm in a move to accelerate tokenization. The two\u2019s joint venture, OKXICE, filed<\/a> with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Sunday to launch a tokenized securities platform \u200bfor around-the-clock trading of U.S. \u200bstocks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough strategic investment and partnership, OKX is aligning some of the most critical builders of financial infrastructure behind its vision for the next generation of onchain markets,\u201d OKX said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

OKX CEO and founder Star Xu said that the capital would help the company tokenize real-world assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exchange was our starting point, and we are evolving into a broader global financial technology platform,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A number of top Wall Street firms are increasingly interested in the technology that powers Bitcoin. While traditional finance titans like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton for years have used blockchain rails to tokenize money funds. Tokenization has become a bigger buzzword on Wall Street since the U.S. elected pro-crypto president Donald Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The president has appointed regulators that have taken a more friendly stance toward watchdogging the crypto space. The SEC in September approved<\/a> tokenized stock trading.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other big deals between TradFi and the crypto space include the S&P 500 in January giving crypto platform Trade[XYZ] the green light to debut a new derivative contract on decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, allowing traders to trade the stock index 24-7.\u00a0<\/p>\n
