On September 30, in the warm breeze of Sentosa Island, Singapore, the rhythm of the waves harmonized with the city's pace; here, there is both the leisure of a vacation island and the rationality and structure of a global financial hub. OKX brought these two qualities to the stage of today's Alphas Summit—at the sea view hall of the W Hotel, industry leaders, product managers, and partners from around the world engaged in a Google-style launch event, presenting a dialogue on crypto products that combined reflection and practicality: focusing on the interaction between products and users while showcasing the professionalism and forward-looking perspective of the on-chain world.
This event centered around "The New Money Era," exploring Alpha as a thread, with core segments focusing on three types of products: trading products, stablecoin 2.0 products, and on-chain products, revealing how OKX meets users' imaginations for future new monetary infrastructure. The rhythm of the speeches was tight, live demonstrations were vivid, and real-time Q&A interactions were frequent, complemented by in-depth contributions from partners, making each feature presentation not only showcase technical strength but also directly respond to users' real usage scenarios. The event attracted over 500 industry practitioners, KOLs, developers, capital representatives, and media guests, creating a lively atmosphere.
During the event, OKX CEO Star first delivered a keynote speech as the opening guest. He pointed out that to organically connect various product sharing segments, the event established a unified theme—"The New Money Era." This theme not only carries the grand vision behind all product functions but also gathers each product launch into a clear narrative—telling the direction of OKX's development and demonstrating how OKX builds the possibilities of future finance for users through innovation and practice. Additionally, he participated in a roundtable discussion on "OKX Pay" with CMO Haider Rafique and OKX SG CEO Gracie Lin, engaging in in-depth exchanges on payment innovation and future financial applications.
When discussing the vision for cryptocurrency payments, Star stated that one of the biggest achievements of the crypto industry in the past 12 to 13 years is the globalization of Bitcoin. Bitcoin has become one of the most successful digital assets globally, and the second major achievement is stablecoins, which currently have a total market value close to $300 billion and are expected to grow rapidly in the next 1 to 2 years. Furthermore, Star pointed out that stablecoin payments can ensure security and compliance while enhancing efficiency, and are expected to accelerate into everyday life in the coming years. OKX Pay aims to become a liquidity center for stablecoins, starting from Singapore and covering global markets.
The core speech segment of the event featured several product leaders from OKX, showcasing multiple innovative products and services aimed at "The New Money Era," highlighting OKX's comprehensive layout in enhancing user asset management efficiency, trading experience, and the construction of on-chain financial infrastructure.
Auto Earn —— Dual Goals of Asset Trading and Appreciation
OKX trading product manager Thomas Tse first introduced the "Auto Earn" feature. He stated that this feature allows users to automatically lend or stake idle assets on-chain without locking assets or affecting staking or trading margins, achieving dual goals of trading and appreciation. Currently, it supports mainstream assets such as USDT, USDC, USDG, as well as ETH and SOL, with annualized returns varying with market fluctuations. Thomas emphasized that "Auto Earn" allows users to accumulate returns without additional operations while maintaining low risk and high flexibility, "In The New Money Era, the market never stops, and your crypto assets will also be in constant motion."
VIP Program —— Top Experience with the Right Tools
Next, OKX VIP product manager Bill Chan shared the core concept of the new VIP program. He pointed out that this program is designed for high-frequency and large-volume traders, offering fee discounts, dedicated customer service, and value-added tools through a tiered membership mechanism, such as BTC interest-bearing products and dual-currency enhanced earnings. VIP users will also be invited to exclusive events, targeted rewards, and limited-edition merchandise. Bill emphasized that the key to successful trading in the future is not the number of tools but having the right tools, inviting users to experience smarter and more efficient trading methods at OKX.
DEX Trading —— One-Click Trading of On-Chain Assets within CEX
OKX trading product manager Thomas Tse also announced that the OKX exchange will support DEX trading functionality and has launched a limited public beta. Users can directly use their exchange account balances (USDT, USDC, or native tokens) for on-chain token trading without switching wallets or cross-chain operations. The initial phase covers X Layer, SOL, Base, and BSC, with plans to expand to networks like ETH in the future. DEX trading offers better execution prices, faster transactions, and zero trading fees, while providing built-in token discovery, market intelligence, and portfolio tracking as a one-stop service. Users can create self-custody wallets in seconds, supporting Passkey and facial recognition, without the need for mnemonic phrases, making it easy to exchange potential tokens. This feature breaks the boundaries between CEX and DEX, allowing users to enjoy instant, secure, and simple on-chain trading experiences within a familiar interface.
OKX Wallet —— High-Level Self-Custody
Regarding the security and convenience of on-chain trading, OKX DEX aggregator manager Shawn Ma introduced the latest developments of OKX Wallet. He stated that OKX Wallet has been redesigned to support over 140 blockchain networks, allowing users to complete token exchanges, cross-chain bridging, and dApp access on the same platform while maintaining world-leading security, shielding high-risk tokens, addresses, and domains. The upcoming Smart Accounts will protect private key security through a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), enabling automatic profit-taking, stop-loss, dollar-cost averaging, and on-chain copy trading, perfectly combining advanced on-chain trading with self-custody security. Shawn emphasized, "In The New Money Era, self-custody should never mean outdated or second-rate tools."
X Layer —— The Core Engine of The New Money Era
X Layer Builder Felix Fan further elaborated on the strategic positioning of X Layer. He stated that X Layer has become the core engine of The New Money Era, with a transaction processing capability (TPS) of 5,000, scalable to over 100,000, with transaction fees nearly zero, and fully compatible with EVM public chains. Over 4 million addresses have been deployed on-chain, deeply integrating with OKX Wallet to realize the dual value of yield engines and trading tools. In terms of ecology, X Layer has received support from top DeFi protocols like Aave, while the community, developers, and meme culture actively participate, driving on-chain innovation and community growth. Its application scenarios cover DeFi, yield-bearing stablecoins, instant on-chain payments, high-frequency trading, cross-border transfers, and real-world settlements, constructing a complete ecosystem for trading, circulation, and wealth creation in The New Money Era.
Unified USD Order Book —— Breaking Stablecoin Fragmentation
Additionally, OKX trading product manager Frank Zhang introduced the Unified USD Order Book, addressing the long-standing issue of stablecoin trading pair fragmentation, providing traders with the deepest liquidity and smooth trading experience, enabling cash-like free trading. OKX Pay product manager Sam Liu shared the market challenges faced by stablecoin issuers and pointed out that through the unified order book, each compliant issuer can access liquidity equally, returning to the principles of a fair and open crypto market.
OKX Pay——Bringing Crypto Assets into Daily Life
Sam Liu announced that the OKX card will soon be launched in certain regions, allowing users to spend stablecoins at a 1:1 ratio, covering merchants worldwide that accept Mastercard, with plans to gradually roll out to multiple compliant regions globally within 12 months. The OKX card is built on the OKX Pay non-custodial super wallet, enabling users to seamlessly send stablecoins via X Layer, achieve QR code payments, and future Tap to Pay, constructing a closed-loop architecture from storage, investment to consumption, promoting the practical application of stablecoin 2.0, making crypto assets truly usable in daily life.
The "The New Money Era" themed event at the OKX Alphas Summit was not just a product launch but a mirror reflecting the profound changes that crypto finance is undergoing. What OKX presented on stage was not only technical capability but also a holistic consideration of future financial infrastructure: how asset flow, value generation, risk management, and user control are being reconstructed in the on-chain world. This event made it clear that the core of The New Money Era is not about singular innovations but about ecological integration—only when trading, payments, investments, and community values form a closed loop can the true potential of crypto assets be unleashed.
From a strategic perspective, OKX is transforming industry trends into actionable practices. These product layouts not only reflect technological leadership but also contemplate how to build a long-term sustainable ecosystem. More importantly, this layout emphasizes the balance between user sovereignty and compliance boundaries, making innovation not just an experiment but a practical tool that can enter daily life. This approach, which balances speed, efficiency, and security, is key to the design of future financial infrastructure and provides a reference for the entire industry.
At a higher dimension, the value of The New Money Era lies not only in the flow of crypto assets but also in the reconstruction of personal control and financial freedom. Every on-chain transaction and every payment carries the user's awareness of sovereignty over their assets and future. What OKX is doing is not just providing tools but shaping a new operational paradigm, making the crypto world not just a trading market but an ecosystem that can reach daily life and practice financial autonomy. It reminds us that true financial innovation is not about how flashy the technology is but about enabling people to touch a future that is free and controllable.
