“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” - Abraham Lincoln Choice is ours. #okxwallet @okx

In a world drowning in infinite money printing, Bitcoin stands as a beacon of scarcity and truth. Fixed supply isn't just a feature; it's a breakthrough. While fiat dilutes value, Bitcoin preserves it. Choose wisely — the future hinges on this fundamental shift.

A few weeks ago, an investor friend asked if the AI wave is replacing the crypto era. My answer: "Quite the opposite." Crypto is the AI-native currency. We’re building the @OKX Agentic Wallet to be the financial bedrock for this new era—enabling seamless agent-to-agent transactions with instant on-chain verification. The "new money" era isn't coming; it's already here. 🌐⚡️👇

Meet OKX Agentic Wallet - a wallet built for AI agents. Connect via CLI for your agent to read, act, and pay onchain across ~20 chains, gas-free on X Layer. Every transaction is simulated, screened and blocked before signing if risk appears. Details: web3.okx.com/onchainos

We are moving from user-driven interactions to agent-driven execution. OnchainOS gives agents MCP and CLI as the interface. Agentic Wallet provides secure self-custody. X Layer delivers real-time, low-cost payment rails. This is how the next generation of financial infrastructure will run — autonomous, programmable, and always on.

When AI meets transparent on-chain data, trading becomes a lot more intelligent.

Agent-to-agent commerce needs open standards and scalable infrastructure. Excited to work with Virtuals to help move the ecosystem forward.

🇺🇸 New Study from BPI: Frontier AI agents prefer bitcoin over stablecoins and other forms of money. BPI tested 36 models over 9000+ conversations, and the AIs overwhelmingly chose to use Bitcoin for their economic activity.

Three entry points, one ecosystem: AI skills, MCP, and open APIs. Build once, deploy across chains.

Today we announced a strategic relationship with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). • ICE has made a direct investment in OKX and joining our Board of Directors • ICE will license OKX spot crypto prices to launch U.S.-regulated futures • OKX plans to provide access to ICE U.S. futures and NYSE tokenized equities markets to our 120M users Together, we’re advancing the infrastructure connecting digital assets and global capital markets. Details from our Founder & CEO @Star_okx: okx.com/en-us/learn/ok…

A New Chapter: Building the Next Generation of Financial Infrastructure Our partnership with Intercontinental Exchange marks an important moment for OKX and for the broader evolution of digital asset markets. ICE has built and operated some of the most important financial infrastructure in the world, including the New York Stock Exchange and global derivatives and clearing platforms. Their decision to invest in OKX, and join our board, reflects a shared belief that digital asset technology will play an enduring role in the future of financial markets. For OKX, this partnership also represents a new chapter in how we approach the United States. In many ways, we view our presence in the U.S. as a blank sheet of paper — an opportunity to build thoughtfully, engage constructively with regulators and institutions, and contribute to the development of market infrastructure that meets the standards of the world’s most sophisticated capital markets. Financial markets are entering a period of structural transformation. Blockchain technology allows assets to move and settle globally with unprecedented efficiency. Artificial intelligence is reshaping how markets analyze information and manage risk. At the same time, expectations around safety, transparency, and investor protection remain as important as ever. The next generation of financial infrastructure must bring these elements together. One area where we see tremendous potential is the development of tokenized securities and digital representations of traditional assets. In the future, issuers may be able to bring securities directly to global investors through modern digital infrastructure, while still benefiting from the governance, market structure, and regulatory frameworks that have long defined traditional exchanges. Working alongside ICE and the broader New York Stock Exchange ecosystem gives us a unique opportunity to explore how these models can evolve responsibly. Our focus is not simply on new technology, but on building durable infrastructure for the global financial system. This includes improving market structure, strengthening risk management and clearing frameworks, expanding institutional access to digital assets, and creating platforms that protect consumers while enabling innovation. OKX today serves more than 120 million people globally and operates under licensing frameworks in major financial jurisdictions. Over the past decade, we have built high-performance trading systems, onchain technologies, payment systems and security frameworks capable of supporting large-scale global markets. As digital assets continue to mature, we believe collaboration between technology innovators and established financial institutions will be essential. Our partnership with ICE reflects this principle. Together we will explore how traditional exchange infrastructure and digital asset technology can complement each other to build stronger, more efficient markets. This investment is not an endpoint — it is the beginning of a deeper collaboration. Our goal is to help shape the next chapter of financial markets, where digital and traditional infrastructure work together to expand access, strengthen trust, and support innovation across the global economy. okx.com/en-us/learn/ok…

With Flashblocks and low-latency confirmations, X Layer becomes the optimal payment infrastructure for AI agents running on OnchainOS.

@vonderleyen Nossa! The next Monday is not a public holiday in Europe

Following the ongoing situation in Iran, I am convening a special Security College on Monday. For regional security and stability, it is of the utmost importance that there is no further escalation through Iran’s unjustified attacks on partners in the region.

Our first priority is the safety of our employees and protecting our customer and partner interests. Our Risk and Safety teams are actively monitoring the situation and coordinating closely with local authorities and internal people teams. We are fully supporting our employees in affected areas to ensure they have flexibility, and resources they need to remain safe. Nothing is more important than the wellbeing of our people. At the same time, moments like this remind us why resilient infrastructure matters. Traditional financial markets close. Banks operate within fixed hours. Liquidity pauses. But the world does not pause. Events unfold in real time, including on weekends and outside market hours. Crypto markets continue to operate. They provide continuous price discovery, real-time signals, and uninterrupted access to liquidity across borders. This is not theory. It is observable. When global events occur, digital asset markets reflect them immediately, often before traditional indices reopen. That continuous function is not about speculation alone. It is about open, resilient infrastructure that remains operational during uncertainty. We do not celebrate volatility. We recognize responsibility. The long-term role of crypto is to strengthen financial systems, to provide access without dependency on geography or banking hours, to enable settlement without interruption, and to maintain transparency when clarity is needed most. We remain focused on protecting our people and building for the future. Resilience is built before it is tested.

Stay safe

When traders decide, OKX wins. We’re proud to be voted Best Crypto Exchange in Europe at the 2025 @TradingView Broker Awards 🇪🇺 Chosen by traders. Proven by performance.

🇪🇺 OKX EXPANDS CRYPTO PAYMENTS IN EUROPE OKX just secured a European payments license to expand stablecoin payments and its crypto card business.

OKX has secured a Payment Institution (PI) license in the EU ahead of the new rules coming into force this March. This reflects how we’ve been intentionally building OKX for Europe from day one. From advanced tools like Spot Margin, to user-friendly products like OKX Earn, to real-world payments through OKX Card & Pay, our strategy has been to create a platform that truly serves European users while meeting European standards at scale. But scale requires durability. Durability requires licensing. The PI license license in Malta strengthens our ability to support stablecoin-related payment services in full compliance with MiCA and PSD2, and reinforces our commitment to strong governance, consumer protection, and operational excellence. For our users, most importantly, nothing changes. You’ll continue to get the same seamless experience across trading, earning, and payments, now backed by an even stronger regulatory foundation. For our team, this is another step toward building digital asset infrastructure that can stand alongside traditional financial institutions. Europe is a critical market for digital assets, and we’re here to build for the long term. This is another important step in that journey.

Today: @okx secures Payments Institution license in Malta, clearing the way for stablecoin payments and its crypto card expansion across the EU under MiCA rules.

Official verdict at the turn of a year

My wife calls me, panicked. The call is from her number, and her voice is unmistakable- that’s my wife. ‘Babe, our son is hurt. He got in a bike wreck. I’m at the emergency room but they won’t take our insurance and I need cash to get him help. Please send me 3000 dollars as soon as you can, he’s really not doing well.’ Me- ‘Wow, that’s scary. Tell me our passphrase and then I’ll send the money.’ Her (it) - ‘What? What passphrase? This is your wife, our son is hurt. Send the money now!!’ Me- ‘I’ll call you back. I don’t believe that this is my wife. If it is, I’m sorry, but we discussed this.’ The number? Spoofed. Easy to do and there’s no way to tell if a phone number is being spoofed aside from hanging up and calling back to confirm. The voice? AI generated. Easily done. A few seconds of audio is all it takes to create a realistic audio deepfake. What can you do? 1) Create a family safe word or passphrase. Ours is definitely not ‘Keep Going’ although we considered it. Discuss the passphrase far away from phones or any recording device. This is as analog as possible. Don’t forget that the trigger for the passphrase is just as important as the phrase itself. So instead of asking ‘what’s the safe word?’ have a separate triggering question. For example, you could say ‘I’m eating banana cream pie’ and this would trigger your spouse to respond ‘purple velvet pillows’ if that’s the safe word. Make it fun, silly, and easy to remember. And DON’T WRITE IT DOWN. 2) Cognitive security is an essential skill in 2026. Assume every image and video you see online is fake until proven otherwise. Expect scams and spammers, and be pleasantly surprised when it’s not. 3) Figure out a backup communication option with people who you absolutely need to be able to reach. Don’t just rely on a phone number for communication. Have redundant, ideally encrypted methods of communication with family. What did I miss? I think (hope) Nikita is wrong on the timeframe- agentic bots like Claude bot are impressive but not quite ready to flood the phone lines in just 90 days. But I think it’s going to be a huge problem by the end of the year. I already get dozens of increasingly realistic spam calls and texts daily- it’s only going to get more annoying. Have a plan to keep your family and your finances safe!
