OKX is considering a U.S. IPO following a $500 million settlement with the Department of Justice for operating without a money-transmitter license. The February deal included an $84 million fine and forfeiture of $421 million in fees. With legal issues resolved, OKX reopened U.S. operations and established a regional headquarters in San Jose, led by new U.S. CEO Roshan Robert. The exchange is strengthening compliance and expanding services, including a planned “crypto super app.” The IPO would mark a major milestone in OKX’s global growth strategy, reflecting renewed confidence in navigating U.S. regulations and competing in the American crypto market.
