Ripple participated in the OKX financing round with a valuation of US$25 billion

Ripple joined forces with Circle, Qube Research and Technologies and SC Ventures to participate in the new round of OKX investment. The transaction values OKX to US$25 billion before financing.

OKX selected these strategic investors to support the expansion of its business from purely cryptocurrency trading into stablecoins, payment services, institutional markets and the broader financial infrastructure. Ripple's investment not only consolidates the existing integration results of RLUSD stablecoins on the OKX platform, but also continues its previous support for digital capital market infrastructure companies ZILO and Licuido.

Strategic investment rather than pure financing

Ripple completed its investment in OKX with Circle, Qube Research and Technologies and SC Ventures, a venture capital arm of Standard Chartered Bank. According to OKX's announcement on Tuesday, the exchange's pre-investment valuation is $25 billion. However, OKX did not disclose the specific financing amount or details of each participant's contribution.

This round of financing is a continuation of the financing cycle previously led by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange. In March this year, ICE invested about US$200 million, when OKX was also valued at US$25 billion. Xu Mingxing, founder and CEO of OKX, said that the company is looking for strategic partners who can solve development bottlenecks, not just financial investors.

徐明星指出,稳定币、支付、机构市场和金融基础设施是公司选择投资者的核心考量方向。参与本轮投资的各方将为交易所带来区块链支付、稳定币发行、量化投资和金融服务等领域的丰富经验。

OKX 致力于打造一个连接加密市场与传统金融的科技平台,超越传统的交易所业务范畴。徐明星强调,交易只是起点,公司旨在构建一个更广泛的商业生态,以支持客户如何持有、消费和投资资产。

深化稳定币与机构市场联系

Ripple 的参与建立在现有的运营关系之上,其发行的 RLUSD 稳定币已在 OKX 的统一订单簿中上线。此外,Ripple 还为涉及多个机构市场板块的企业提供了支付和流动性基础设施方面的专业支持。

Ripple 稳定币高级副总裁 Jack McDonald 将此次投资与合作联系起来,认为大型平台如 OKX 在稳定币日益重要的金融基础设施角色中扮演着关键参与者。McDonald 表示,双方将在稳定币、支付及机构市场领域展开进一步合作。

除了对交易所的投资外,作为机构扩张的一部分,Ripple 还投资于开发数字资本市场基础设施的企业。今年 8 月,这家区块链公司宣布对 ZILO 和 Licuido 进行投资,将其战略投资组合再增加两家基础设施企业。

Ripple's endorsement adds another layer of institutional cooperation to OKX's expansion plans, although the two parties have not disclosed specific financial terms.
