Building in Singapore, for Singapore

A message from OKX Singapore CEO Gracie Lin

This quarter, we'll celebrate SG60 and OKX SG's first anniversary as a licensed exchange in Singapore. (Fun fact: I share a birthday with Singapore, so this moment feels extra special.)

As we approach these milestones, I’ve been thinking about the difference between building in a market and building for it.

At OKX, we’re proud to be a global player, but our commitment to Singapore runs deep. We're building for the long term, and focusing on infrastructure, not hype — the kind that earns trust, delivers real utility, and strengthens community.

Trust Begins with Security

In a market where stable infrastructure and strong institutions are the norm, users want to deal only with platforms that take security seriously. We do. This year, we achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, the global benchmark for information security.

Our custody partnership with Standard Chartered was another big step forward, offering our clients greater assurance and protection.

We’ll continue building on this foundation, investing in security, resilience, and transparency to meet the standards this market rightly expects.

Utility Means Solving Real Problems

Singapore users are pragmatic, and so are we. At OKX SG, we focus on function, not form.

Today, we offer:

• Over 90 tokens that matter to local investors

• Trading bots and recurring buy to support smarter, frictionless investing

• SGD and USD rails, trading pairs, and a unified USD orderbook for a seamless experience and deep liquidity

We’re not stopping here. We’re actively working on new features to bring even more meaningful utility to our users, so watch this space.

Community Goes Beyond Our User Base

One of the things I love most about crypto is that it's a team sport.

That's why we've doubled down on developing the next generation of talent. Our Supernova program has now trained more than 170 graduates from local universities like NUS, NTU and SMU, and is our way of nurturing local talent into the blockchain leaders of tomorrow.

We also stay close to the community. In the first half of 2025, we’ve hosted or joined over 20 events with Singapore’s builders, founders and Web3 thinkers. These conversations sharpen our perspective and keep us building with, and for, the local ecosystem.

What’s Coming Next

Our focus on security, utility, and community isn’t just about now — it’s about setting up for what’s next. And the next chapter starts with two meaningful milestones:

• OKX SG's 1st year licensing anniversary

• Singapore's 60th year of independence

It’s a moment to reflect, and recommit. We're proud to call Singapore home, and are only just getting started.

We're building in Singapore, for Singapore.
