Wall Street ambitions behind OKB's soaring $55: OKX's IPO in the United States triggers the reconstruction of platform coins' value | OKX's US IPO | crypto-listed concept stocks

Wall Street ambition behind OKB's soaring $55: OKX's IPO in the United States triggered the reconstruction of platform currency value. When a news that "OKX is considering an IPO in the United States" was heard from Chief Marketing Officer Haider Rafique in early July, the entire crypto market was instantly ignited. In just one hour, OKB price violently rose 9.8%, reaching the high of $55.11 from the $50 mark. Although it fell slightly, it completely exposed the increasingly close symbiotic relationship between Wall Street capital and the crypto world. Behind this surge driven by traditional financial narratives is the world's third largest exchange platform, OKB, is undergoing a profound revaluation of value - it is no longer just a deduction tool for transaction fees, but is becoming the most explosive investment target in the wave of compliance of crypto institutions. --- 1. Breakthrough moment: The strategic game behind the IPO news On June 23, 2025, a report from the US media The Information caused an industry earthquake: OKX is preparing to go public in the United States, and it is likely to choose the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq as the listing place. This move has only been two months since it paid $500 million to reach a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, and is closer to its high-profile strategic plan to announce its return to the U.S. market. Such a compact timeline is by no means a coincidence, but a carefully designed "three-step" compliance leap: - Reputation Repair Project: Appointing former Barclays executive Roshan Robert to take charge of the US business, and will base his regional headquarters in San Jose, the core Silicon Valley area. Founder Xu Mingxing rarely publicly promises to create a "gold standard for global compliance" - Regulatory Dongfeng Bets: Cleverly scout the legislative window of the US "CLARITY Act", which clearly states that CFTC leads digital commodity supervision and clears obstacles for OKX's core derivatives business- Recreation of valuation logic: Using the IPO process to prove the sustainability of its "exchange + token economy" dual-track model to traditional finance, completely different from the limitations of Coinbase's single equity structure. The market votes with real money and silver - the instantaneous soaring of OKB confirms investors' bets on OKX's transformation. If it is successfully listed, OKX will become the first crypto giant to open up the counterattack path of "from tickets to IPOs", opening up a new valuation imagination space for the platform coin track. 2. Value cornerstone: OKB's scarcity revolution and ecological outbreak. Putting aside the halo of IPO, OKB's intrinsic value support is undergoing unprecedented strengthening. Its core engine lies in the explosive expansion of deflation model and ecological scenarios: Deflation engine: The destruction mechanism creates scarcity - 41% of the circulation volume has dropped sharply: Through continuous repurchase and destruction (30% of the monthly contract fee is used to destroy OKB), as of March 2025, the circulation volume has dropped from the initial 300 million to 176 million, and is expected to fall below 100 million in 2030 - Firmly needed to lock in liquidity: Users can enjoy a maximum transaction fee discount of 40% when holding OKB, and VIP5 users save more than $100,000 a year - This forces high-frequency traders to hoard coins for a long time, reducing market selling pressure and ecological fission: From the exchange to the RWA Empire OKB has broken through the trading boundaries and built a multi-dimensional value capture scenario: - DeFi income engine: the annualized 8% of single coin pledge, and the income of cross-chain liquidity mining combinations has rushed to 25% - Real asset entrance: 1 OKB exchanges 0.01 grams of on-chain gold (PAXG), 100,000 yuan can be subscribed to the tokenization share of Dubai luxury homes, with a threshold of only US$1,000 - Global Payment Network: Visa co-branded card covers 50 million merchants, Southeast Asian e-commerce giant Shopee accesses B2B cross-border settlement data on-chain confirms the prosperity of the ecological: In April 2025, SUI token sales triggered OKB soaring by 26.8% in a single day, and the ecological synergy effect has become the core catalyst for price 3. Investment opportunities: Layout window under the triple momentum Current OKB's allocation value is highlighted by the resonance of the three major momentum, creating structural opportunities for investors: 1. IPO process dividends: Referring to Circle's traditional IPO experience in 2025, Wall Street has a significant valuation premium for compliant crypto assets. If OKX successfully passes the level, it will completely open the OKB fiat currency channel 2. Deflation acceleration cycle: The platform's spot trading and lending business income will soon be included in the destruction fund pool, and the deflation target in 2030 will be cut by 43% compared with the current circulation 3. Ecological event-driven: Within 7 days after the destruction announcement is released on the 5th of each month, OKB's historical average increase has reached 12%; the launch of Jumpstart new projects (such as AITECH) often trigger the pledge wave of pledge investors' practical strategies: - Arbitrage matrix: Use the positive capital rate of perpetual contracts to make futures arbitrage (7-day rolling income of 3.5%) - Ecological compound interest: Pledge OKB participates in node governance (annualization 6% + governance token airdrop) - Trend bets: fixed investment portfolio + return reinvestment, historical back-date exceeds 20%. 4. Risk warning: Investors behind high returns need to be aware of the three major risk points: - Regulatory changes: The US SEC may still identify the repurchase and destruction mechanism as a "disguised securities operation", especially OKX once admitted the "original sin" of anti-money laundering violations for seven years - Ecological game: BNB accelerates siphon liquidity with the exchange alliance, OKB's cross-chain advantages face challenges - Technical black box: OKChain's tendency to verify node centralization has caused potential governance risks, and there is tension in the "decentralization" of publicity. The golden rule of position management: single asset allocation does not exceed 20% of the total position, and the destruction volume drops by 10% for two consecutive quarters, which triggers the signal of share reduction--- OKB's surge is far from a market speculative bubble, but a preview of Wall Street capital's value reconstruction of crypto infrastructure. As OKX takes every step of its IPO, OKB is transforming from a simple "platform points" to a hard currency in the crypto world that spans trading, DeFi, and RWA. When the compliance certification of traditional finance is deeply coupled with the deflation model of the token economy, a wave of revaluation of platform coins is unstoppable. In the next 12 months, two major turning points will determine the OKB ceiling: the ringing of the US listing bell, and the ecological milestone in which on-chain gold reserves have exceeded the 100-ton scale. For keen investors, every callback triggered by the compliance process is an excellent window to lay out the core assets of the next generation of digital finance.
