OKX 以 250 亿美元估值完成新一轮战略融资

据官方公告,OKX 宣布已完成新一轮战略投资,投前估值达 250 亿美元。本轮投资方包括 Circle、量化投资管理公司 Qube Research & Technologies (QRT)、Ripple 以及渣打银行的 SC Ventures。此次融资于 10 月 6 日公布,进一步巩固了 OKX 在稳定币、流动性和托管层面上的基础设施布局,并深化了其与此前由洲际交易所(ICE,纽约证券交易所母公司)领投的 3 月融资之间的战略联系。

投资者背景与角色定位

每位投资者均在 OKX 的基础设施中扮演着特定的关键角色:

  • Circle:作为全球最大合规稳定币 USDC 的发行人参与本轮投资。
  • Ripple:为 OKX 的统一订单簿提供支付、流动性支持及 RLUSD 稳定币服务。
  • 渣打银行 (SC Ventures):担任贝莱德代币化国债基金 BUIDL 的托管方,该基金处于 OKX 构建的抵押品框架的核心位置。
  • Qube Research & Technologies (QRT):作为一家多策略投资管理公司和主要机构交易对手方,为平台提供流动性及风险承担能力。

Since the issuers of USDC and RLUSD appear in the round of financing at the same time, this suggests that OKX is running a "multi-stablecoin" model rather than binding a single dollar token, thereby enhancing the diversity and resilience of the system.

Industry Leaders 'Views

Jeremy Allaire, Co-Founder and CEO of Circle, said: "Circle's investment in OKX deepens the partnership and shows us where next-generation market infrastructure is heading. stablecoins are becoming a core part of the global financial infrastructure, and platforms like OKX with economies of scale will play an important role in driving this transformation."

Jack McDonald, senior vice president of Ripple stablecoins, pointed out: "stablecoins are reshaping the global financial infrastructure, and we are optimistic about OKX's key position in this process."

Transformation from an exchange to a fintech platform

OKX views this round of financing as an important step in its evolution beyond traditional cryptocurrency trading and into a broader global fintech platform. "The exchange is just our starting point, and we are evolving into a more comprehensive global fintech platform," said founder and CEO Xu Mingxing. He added that the funds will be used to support the tokenization process of real-world assets (RWA).

This expansion follows previously launched services such as "OKX Money", which allows users to directly convert dozens of fiat currencies into stablecoins, further simplifying the bridge between traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem.

Deepening cooperation with ICE

This round of financing continues the pace of investment led by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in March this year at the same valuation. One of the results of the cooperation between the two parties is the establishment of a joint venture OKXICE, which aims to seek U.S. regulatory approval to operate a tokenized securities trading platform. Previously, OKX and ICE have jointly applied to launch 24/7 tokenized stock trading services in dozens of listed companies in the United States.

As of the announcement, OKX has not disclosed the specific amount of this round of new financing, nor has it clearly stated whether these investments will lead to additional product integration plans.
