OKXs reported US IPO comes as the exchange faces regulatory pressures in Asia.
Major global cryptocurrency exchange OKX is reportedly considering a public listing in the United States following its relaunch in the country.
OKX is weighing an initial public offering (IPO) in the US, with a potential listing on a local exchange, The Information reported on Sunday. OKX resumed operations in the US in April.
“From IPOs to crypto treasury stocks, crypto is booming right now, but the rally is playing out in the stock market, at valuations that even surprised industry insiders,” the articles author, Yueqi Yang, said in a post on X.
OKX declined to comment on the reported plans when contacted by Cointelegraph.

OKXs potential US IPO comes as the exchange faces regulatory pressures in Asia.
In late May, Thailands securities regulator, the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission, announced it would block OKX from operating in the country alongside four other exchanges, including Bybit, 1000X, CoinEx and XT.COM
“The SEC advises all investors using these platforms to take necessary action regarding their assets before the shutdown date,” the agency said.
Circles IPO success
An OKX IPO would follow the successful listing of Circle, the issuer of the USDC (USDC) stablecoin.
After multiple IPO upsizings in response to massive investor demand, Circle shares opened on the New York Stock Exchange at $69 on June 5. Since the public launch, the Circle stock (CRCL) had soared almost 250% by last Friday, briefly topping at $248.9.
