OKX Exec: Company Not Rushing IPO, Poor Listings Could Harm Crypto Industry According to CoinDesk, OKX Global Chief Marketing Officer Haider Rafique recently stated that the company is not in a hurry to go public in the U.S. They will wait until they are truly confident in creating long-term value for shareholders before moving forward with an IPO. OKX was recently valued at $25 billion in a strategic deal with Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange. Rafique mentioned that this valuation was intentionally conservative to leave enough room for future shareholder returns. He also expressed concerns about the performance of some crypto companies post-IPO—one major exchange's stock price has dropped nearly 50% since its IPO. Rafique believes that if the crypto industry repeats the "rush to list" mistakes of the ICO era, the entire industry will bear the consequences.
