In the cryptocurrency industry, the choices of professional players are always direct and pure. In 2025, KOLs invested a whole year's worth of funds and time, casting the most genuine vote for the development of industry tools and ecosystems.
We explored four core questions with over a dozen leading KOLs covering various tracks such as yield farming, MEME, secondary trading, and wealth management: “What was your biggest achievement this year?”, “Given your achievements, what is your most frequently used and favorite OKX product in 2025?”, “Why do you like it?”, and “What practical value has this product brought you?”
From their annual reviews, it can be seen that with the rapid development of the on-chain ecosystem, on-chain operations in 2025 have accelerated significantly, and KOLs' product preferences have quietly shifted: they are no longer satisfied with single functions but place greater emphasis on efficiency, combination strategies, and value capture. Among many tools, OKX has made it to the top 3 of the most popular products of the year with its wallet, DEX aggregator, yield financial products (Flash Earn, Dual Currency Win, PayFi, etc.), and precise insights into user needs and functional implementation.
1. OKX Wallet: Not wasting user energy on irrelevant operations
In the on-chain environment of 2025, one of the most intuitive changes is that opportunities have become more fragmented. It is no longer about “one chain exploding for half a year,” but rather L2, modularization, application chains, Move systems, and mainstream public chains taking turns to appear, with airdrops and early opportunities being sliced into smaller pieces. However, the time and energy of ordinary users, and even professional yield farmers, are fixed. The reality is that it’s not that you don’t understand the chains, but that you can’t finely operate so many chains simultaneously.
The shortcomings of traditional wallets in this environment have been magnified infinitely—networks need to be configured by oneself, RPC often has issues, and the interaction experience across different chains is fragmented, making it easy to make mistakes during intensive operations. Many users are not “unable to yield farm,” but are deterred by the costs of configuration, switching, and errors. The OKX wallet has been used frequently during this phase, essentially hitting a real demand: in a situation where chains are constantly increasing, keeping the operational complexity within a range that users can still bear. For heavy users, this is not just an upgrade in experience, but a question of whether they can continue to “run long-term.”
Xuegaogx (@Xuegaogx): If I had to choose one product, it would be the OKX wallet.
I feel ashamed to say that there hasn’t been a project this year that made me rich overnight. But if I had to mention my biggest gain, it would definitely be my personal growth experience. Since the beginning of the year, I have systematized my previously chaotic trading actions into four main tasks: filtering information, recording accounts, executing with tools, and tracking profits. I have adhered to this system for a year, and I can clearly feel that the time cost has decreased, repetitive labor has reduced, and the sustainability of on-chain profits has stabilized somewhat. For example, with this method, I have achieved relatively consistent profits from airdrops in tracks like Kaito, Layer2, and ZK. This counts as my major result this year.
Given the results, if I had to choose one product, it would truly be the OKX wallet. Especially with features like multi-chain expansion, abstract accounts, and batch tasks, it has become standard for my daily operations. To be honest, in yield farming scenarios, it has been the entry point I have opened the most this year. The combination of the wallet with multi-chain expansion and embedded task flows has become my main battlefield for yield farming.
From the perspective of a yield farmer, the experience of the OKX wallet is really comfortable. First, multi-chain coverage. The chains I have used this year range from L2, L3, Move systems to Cosmos, and even new modular chains; the OKX wallet can basically connect directly. There’s no need to install a dozen plugins or switch RPCs all day. Stability, speed, and reliability are especially important during intensive yield farming periods. Second, almost all popular project tasks can be completed directly in OKX. Many projects this year have integrated task entry into the wallet, which benefits smoother interactions, ensures task data isn’t lost, and the gas estimation and signing experience are much better than plugin wallets. The process of completing tasks is smoother, and there’s no need to open a dozen web pages back and forth.
The practical value this product brings is very intuitive; first, it reduces repetitive costs, allowing me to cover more projects. For instance, this year, a modular L2's full task bundle had 8 on-chain projects. If I used a native wallet, I would have to open 8 web pages, connect to 8 RPCs, and switch chains repeatedly, which would take half an hour. With the OKX wallet, I can basically complete it on one page, taking only ten minutes. The extra 20 minutes allowed me to run another L3 task at that time, and the airdrop from that L3 turned out to be even more generous. This is a very intuitive “time → profit” positive feedback. Additionally, the error rate has significantly decreased, with mistakes in signing or taking wrong steps being greatly reduced. Certain cross-chain bridges and staking tasks can easily lead to wrong chain selections, RPC hang-ups, or signing errors. OKX’s smart chain detection and task flow guidance have basically eliminated such situations. For yield farmers, not making mistakes is a profit in itself. Also, there are transfer reminders. If the address you are transferring to is a contract address, the OKX wallet will give a very prominent reminder. This feature saved me from losing a few thousand U in a transfer this year.
Max (@0xcrypto_max): Funds on-chain are relatively safe only in the OKX wallet.
This year has been okay; I haven’t been as aggressive as last year, mostly accumulating little by little. Since I haven’t gone all in, my fund curve has been slowly rising, but I find this state quite comfortable, not so painful, and instead, I feel very happy.
My favorite product has to be the OKX wallet, the smoothest product. More importantly, it’s safe. I have a strong risk control awareness, so I’m not very comfortable leaving money anywhere. I don’t dare to keep too much in exchanges, and I’m hesitant to touch wealth management products; most of my funds are stored in cold wallets. The OKX wallet is like a half-cold wallet; I feel relatively safe keeping my on-chain funds in OKX.
Additionally, I think the pool data is also the best. When playing with on-chain pools, the size of the pool is still a very important reference indicator. For other DEXs, the pool data is usually incomplete. The size of the pool helps me judge whether the market maker is offloading; sometimes, when the pool is high, I follow suit and sell, and most of the time, I make the right judgment, though occasionally I might sell too early.
On-chain Expert (@wenxue600): The main value of the OKX wallet is improving on-chain interaction efficiency.
The major result I achieved this year was the Aster airdrop, where my main account received nearly 100,000 tokens, with a maximum value exceeding 200,000 U, but I sold too early when it launched; fortunately, my smaller account that I used for batch farming held on. The sense of achievement from this project lies not only in how much I earned but also in making key recommendations and reminders at every important node, perfectly matching the final airdrop rules, with many obedient fans and group friends benefiting from a wave of A7.
The product I use most often is the OKX wallet. Because the OKX wallet understands that yield farmers do not need to deal with complicated configurations, and it is fully functional and smooth to operate, it is essential for yield farming, helping everyone improve efficiency in many aspects. Of course, its main value is still improving on-chain interaction efficiency. The OKX wallet responds very quickly to popular networks, eliminating the need for users to manually configure networks, and it has a dedicated entry for leading water, making it very convenient to use. During interactions, using other wallets may result in errors, but switching to the OKX wallet often avoids such issues. Whether trading, cross-chain, or participating in new projects, my experience with OKX has been excellent.
Suy (@Crypto_Suy): The OKX wallet is the smoothest, allowing operations anytime, anywhere.
This year’s market has been intermittent; during March’s $mubarak, and in September and October’s $giggle and $palu, I achieved my biggest results, but whenever the market ended, I returned a large portion. My favorite and most frequently used product has to be the OKX wallet.
I started using the OKX wallet during the inscription period, and I remember it being the smoothest, allowing me to operate anytime, anywhere on my phone. It was through the OKX wallet that I first made money in the crypto space. The UI of the OKX wallet is very comfortable to look at, and every new feature closely follows the trends, from inscriptions to memes. The OKX wallet has also brought me good fortune; I remember the morning after the white cloth was released. After waking up, on my way to a lab class, I was checking the K-line while walking, and I bought the white cloth with all three wallets, later holding it until it hit the exchange, resulting in over thirty times my investment.
2. OKX DEX Aggregator: In MEME opportunities, the key is whether you can execute in time
In 2025, the window for MEME and small tokens is shorter, volatility is more intense, and liquidity is more dispersed. Prices are either stagnant or skyrocketing, and the real profits often come from the earliest transactions. However, the reality is that many on-chain traders are not making wrong judgments but are losing out due to lengthy execution paths, such as cross-chain taking time, finding pools taking time, and changing gas taking time; by the time the operations are completed, the price is no longer the same.
This is also why more and more users are focusing on whether “DEX is user-friendly,” shifting their attention from transaction fees and UI to whether it can be completed with one click. The value of the OKX DEX aggregator at this stage lies more in shortening the chain—compressing operations that were originally scattered across multiple platforms and steps into a single trading decision. For users, it’s not about “how to trade,” but rather whether the trade can still be executed in time. In a market where opportunities are becoming increasingly short, this is a very real pain point.
Jin Xiaoxiao (@Haz59188): OKX DEX trading is super convenient for cross-chain, no need to switch back and forth.
In the first half of this year, I was actually in a losing situation until the X Layer went live. I spent a week using a principal of 3000 U to earn 80,000 U. The most I earned at that time was from XDOG, OKAY, ODOG, XLAB, FUN, etc., all of which I entered early. Since then, I have embarked on a journey of yield farming. To be honest, OKX has really transformed me from a secondary blogger into an on-chain warrior.
The product I picked this year is definitely the combination of OKX’s built-in DEX + OKX wallet. Now, 99.9% of my buying, selling, cross-chain, profit-taking, and escaping are done using just the OKX app; even for buying spot, I prefer to use the OKX wallet directly, which is particularly convenient. The recently launched OKX built-in DEX has become a game-changer, giving me another reason to continue loving OKX.
I used to be most annoyed by switching wallets, paying gas fees, dealing with fake K-lines, and experiencing delays. Cross-chain transactions were also very troublesome. I found on-chain trading particularly cumbersome, and I am someone who dislikes hassle. Two years ago, while yield farming, I discovered that switching between other wallets was very chaotic. A friend recommended the OKX wallet, which supports all chains and makes cross-chain transactions super convenient, and most importantly, it doesn’t require constant switching. At that time, I wasn’t into low-cap tokens, but the cross-chain experience was the reason I fell in love with it. However, the cross-chain speed was relatively slow back then; now it’s not only getting faster but sometimes almost instantaneous, with zero lag and increasing innovations. The K-line charts in the wallet are also very detailed, with no delays; many other wallets have delays that make it impossible to react in time. In terms of speed for grabbing new tokens, it’s incredible—when DexScreener just lists a new token, I can already buy it directly on OKX. For any new token that comes out on a chain, I directly purchase it cross-chain using the OKX wallet. The newly released built-in DEX even saves the cross-chain step, allowing direct token purchases. While others are still using other wallets to cross-chain buy platform tokens for gas, I’ve already made a profit! This feature directly outshines the vast majority of wallets on the market. I love it! However, the newly released built-in DEX does have a slight delay; it’s not as fast as the original wallet’s K-line and data response speed, but I believe it can be improved in the future.
To be honest, I was previously just a pure secondary blogger, checking K-lines every day and opening contracts with community fans. After making money through the OKX wallet, I learned a lot about the core logic of the ecosystem, understood the current state of multi-chain coexistence, and realized how cross-chain technology breaks down barriers between different blockchains, etc. The OKX wallet has given me a new plan for my career blueprint.
Mike (@maik2hello): Tokens from various chains can be quickly and optimally exchanged on the OKX DEX aggregator.
This year, I haven’t had major results yet, but the functionality of OKX products has really helped me many times.
My favorite OKX product is the OKX DEX aggregator. Its smart aggregation trading and one-click cross-chain bridging features are what I admire the most. This is the first thing that comes to mind; it has helped me complete exchanges of small tokens at optimal prices in the shortest time several times. I remember the first time I used it: I was participating in a project’s private placement round and happened to be outside without access to a computer (it was a small token type, and I thought the faster I acted at TGE, the better, as many people understand). I quickly received the airdrop using the OKX wallet. After receiving it, I wanted to transfer it to an exchange to sell, but the token transfer wasn’t open at that time, so I thought I’d try to see if I could trade and exchange on the OKX DEX aggregator. To my surprise, I could exchange smoothly, and the price was consistent with the exchange, completely avoiding losses from a subsequent rapid price drop. After that, I frequently traded and exchanged on it. You’ll find that tokens from various chains can be quickly and optimally exchanged on the OKX DEX aggregator, including one-click cross-chain bridging tokens, allowing me to quickly meet the trading needs of tokens across chains.
Later, I took a detailed look at why the OKX DEX aggregator is so user-friendly, and I became clearer about why I have always liked using it. It can capture liquidity from over 500 DEXs in real-time through its self-developed algorithm, allowing me to obtain the best prices across all chains without switching back and forth between different platforms, while keeping overall slippage stable below 0.3%. At the same time, its execution efficiency is very high, with trading speeds reaching milliseconds, and with the “floating plugin” for one-click jumping, the overall operation time can be reduced by about 70%. In terms of security, the OKX DEX aggregator actively intercepts blacklisted addresses and provides risk warnings before transactions, which also makes me feel more secure when participating in small tokens or new projects, reducing the likelihood of mistakenly interacting with high-risk tokens.
I remember during the BRC-20 token surge in Q3 of 2024, the low-cap token ($SHIBZ) had a buy-sell spread of only 0.5% on OKX DEX due to its aggregated liquidity advantage, while the spread on other platforms reached 3%. By using the smart order book feature of the OKX DEX aggregator, I set limit orders in advance to accurately capture profits during token price fluctuations, achieving a daily return rate of over 150%.
3. OKX Yield Financial Products: The demand for stable returns is rising.
In 2025, users' patience for high returns is decreasing, while their demand for certainty is increasing. After experiencing several rounds of on-chain incidents, project collapses, and complex financial models, more and more users realize that the problem isn’t low returns, but rather “money being locked up, not being able to withdraw, or not understanding what they are earning.” Especially during airdrop and narrative vacuum periods, if funds are idle, they are slowly eroded by inflation and opportunity costs.
In this context, simple, transparent, and easily withdrawable financial products have become important again. The OKX Flash Earn, PayFi, and other products are repeatedly mentioned not because they offer the highest returns, but because users know what their money is doing and when they can get it back. They serve more like a “transitional solution”—ensuring that funds do not hold them back when there is no clear offensive direction. This demand is not aggressive but very real.
Moreover, as market volatility structures become more complex, structured products like Dual Currency Win have been accepted by some trading users at this stage. The platform's value is no longer about the thrill of making money, but rather whether it can help them survive according to their original plan. In this sense, whether the trading experience is stable is even more important than transaction fees.
CoinToEarn (@CoinToEarn): OKX "Flash Earn" truly takes simple finance to the extreme.
From the results I’ve achieved so far, it’s the KOL round. This year, the airdrop track has generally leaned towards “mouth farming,” but due to misjudgment, I basically missed out on this round of dividends. Compared to “mouth farming,” although KOLs haven’t been as outstanding this year, I’m very grateful for the assistance of friends, allowing me to participate in some KOL rounds, which counts as a relatively satisfactory result this year without “mouth farming.”
**My favorite products in 2025 are OKX "Flash Earn" and PayFi for easy coin earning and other financial products. Compared to the risks of many on-chain financial products, OKX "Flash Earn" truly takes simple finance to the extreme. First, they announce, then at the scheduled time, I click to subscribe, and after that, I leave it to the market and time. If I turn on the “automatic coin earning” feature, after the subscription period of "Flash Earn," it will automatically transfer to "Trading Earn," continuing to enjoy the same financial returns as simple coin earning. During this period, funds can be flexibly mobilized at any time. Compared to complex financial products, I prefer to engage in the simplest finance under safe conditions.
When PayFi first came out, the community's first reaction was that OKX was going to enter the payment sector. At that time, I made some suggestions based on my experience with WeChat groups, and unexpectedly, OKX directly launched USDG, which offers a 10% APY. Compared to the 4% APY fixed deposits that CEXs periodically offer, my understanding is that OKX is conducting a PayFi experiment, trying to integrate the “impossible triangle” of safety, returns, and flexibility as much as possible. Ultimately, I now allocate part of my funds in OKX to earn interest through PayFi, while rolling some between Flash Earn and automatic coin earning—simple and hassle-free.
KeHenryA8 (@KeHenryA8): OKX is more aligned with user experience in terms of single-page and operational habits.
On April 22 of this year, I opened a short position for Bitcoin at $92,000 on OKX contracts and held it until November 18, with a maximum floating loss of nearly $30,000, but ultimately I made a profit and closed the position. To be honest, I would only dare to hold like this on OKX. This is probably the longest “trade” I’ve made this year. Why do I say this is my biggest gain? Because holding a position for such a long time tests one’s mindset, and this trade has indeed trained me, making my subsequent trading thoughts clearer.
Naturally, I use the OKX contract section the most. Overall, I have made a profit on contracts this year, but I haven’t made a lot of money. However, only on OKX can I consistently complete my monthly profit plan. Personally, I feel there’s even a bit of mysticism in this.
I love contracts because I come from a trading background. The contract trading that most people in the market cannot accept is actually my bread and butter. I’ve tried a series of other exchanges and ultimately found that only OKX allows me to achieve my monthly profit goals. First, I’ve compared the depth issues of major exchanges, and OKX’s strength is evident; second, based on my experience, OKX is the only exchange where I can consistently make profits, and the user experience is also very aligned. I am already very familiar with OKX’s trading page and operational habits.
I am a full-time trader, and my monthly profit plan is basically completed through trading. This is more important than how much money I make because my monthly expenses largely depend on profits from contract trading, which is the most practical value. However, I still want to make a few small suggestions: I hope the OKX contract section can quickly launch the position splitting feature, which is very important for traders and helps better manage each order. Additionally, consider launching some combination products of contracts + finance, such as doing contract trading while also engaging in finance (similar to human-powered bicycle generators, which exercise while providing power). I currently don’t put all my funds into contract trading; I keep large amounts in finance and small amounts for contracts. If financial products could be combined with contract trading, it would be even more perfect and could attract more contract traders to participate.
Unicorn (@UnicornBitcoin): OKX Dual Currency Win turns volatility from risk into profit.
The big result is Bitcoin. I completed annual returns and position growth around Bitcoin as the main line, daring to hold during the main upward phase of the market, realizing profits at key price points, and turning volatility into a sustainable source of income. The OKX product I use most often and like the most in 2025 is Dual Currency Win. It turns volatility from risk into profit. Dual Currency Win solves three things through target prices and fixed income structures: it allows for profit even when the market doesn’t move in one direction, automatically executes low buy and high sell at target prices without needing to monitor the market, and has a clear profit path with low execution costs, making it very suitable for position management and cash flow enhancement during significant Bitcoin market movements.
Its actual value lies in improving capital utilization, strengthening trading discipline, and reducing decision-making costs. For example, while holding BTC, I set a target price at which I would be more willing to sell using Dual Currency Win. If the expiration price does not reach the target price, I can still earn interest and continue holding; if the expiration price reaches or exceeds the target price, the system sells at the target price and settles the interest, effectively earning an additional layer of profit at a price I was already willing to transact at.
Looking back at 2025, the “most commonly used” choices made by KOL friends based on real usage scenarios provide the most direct reference. These feedbacks not only reflect changes in product preferences but also mirror the higher demands for efficiency and combinatorial capabilities in the on-chain ecosystem.
Thank you to all users for your long-term use and continuous feedback this year. It is these voices from real scenarios that drive the continuous optimization and evolution of OKX products. In the future, we will continue to refine our products based on actual needs and welcome more suggestions and feedback to make our tools even better.
