OKX adds decentralized trading for US users as DEX volumes hit record high
The crypto exchange enabled decentralized trading for US users, integrating DEX access and self-custody wallets as onchain volumes reach record highs.
Cryptocurrency exchange OKX, traditionally known for its centralized trading services, is expanding into decentralized finance with a new feature that lets US users trade tokens directly on decentralized markets.
The DEX trading option, available through the OKX app, allows users to buy and sell tokens while retaining control of their digital assets. Trades are executed via self-custody wallets, meaning users hold their own private keys rather than storing funds on the exchange.
According to OKX, the feature provides access to millions of tokens across Solana, Base and X Layer, which is OKX’s own Ethereum layer-2 network built using Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK).
