How OKX Protected $1.1 Billion in Customer Assets in the First Half of 2026
Scams and social engineering attempts exist across every exchange. The real question isn't whether a platform faces this threat, it's whether it can get ahead of it. From January through June 2026, OKX protected more than $1.1 billion in customer assets for more than half a million users. That milestone reflects a decision we made a while back: scam prevention isn't a background safeguard bolted onto the platform, it's a frontline product priority.

Europe's Crypto Reset Is Working
Authored by Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe Last week I wrote about the great crypto migration underway since MiCA's deadline, and about the difference between a licence and a proof. This week I want to build on that, because I think there's a genuinely good story here that gets buried whenever the industry has a rough news cycle: trust in this space isn't fragile, it's compounding. Every year there are more ways for users to check for themselves that a platform is what it says it is, and fewer places left for platforms to hide if it isn't.
