On September 30, amidst the warm breeze of Sentosa Island in Singapore, ocean waves move in rhythm with the city—blending the island’s relaxed vacation vibe with the rationality and vision of a global financial hub. OKX brought these two qualities to today's Alphas Summit stage—at the W Hotel’s ocean-view hall—hosting a thought-provoking and practical dialogue on crypto products in the style of a Google product launch. The event engaged global industry leaders, product heads, and partners, centering on user-product interaction while showcasing professionalism and forward-looking perspectives from the on-chain world.
This event was structured around the theme "The New Money Era," exploring Alpha through three core product categories: trading products, Stablecoin 2.0, and on-chain solutions—revealing how OKX meets users’ expectations for future monetary infrastructure. With tightly paced presentations, vivid live demos, frequent real-time Q&A, and deep insights from partners, each feature launch not only demonstrated technical strength but also directly addressed real-world user scenarios. Over 500 industry professionals, KOLs, developers, investors, and media guests attended, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
At the event, OKX CEO Star opened with a keynote speech. He explained that to organically connect all product segments, the summit adopted a unified theme—"The New Money Era." This theme embodies the grand vision behind every product function and weaves individual launches into a coherent narrative about OKX’s strategic direction, demonstrating how innovation and execution can build the financial systems of tomorrow. Star also joined CMO Haider Rafique and OKX SG CEO Gracie Lin in a roundtable discussion on "OKX Pay," delving into payment innovation and the future of financial applications.
Speaking about the vision for crypto payments, Star noted that one of the industry’s greatest achievements over the past 12 to 13 years has been the globalization of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is now among the most successful digital assets globally. The second major achievement is stablecoins, which now have a total market cap approaching $300 billion and are poised for rapid growth in the next one to two years. Star added that stablecoin payments offer both security and compliance while improving efficiency, and could soon accelerate into mainstream daily use. OKX Pay aims to become a global liquidity hub for stablecoins, starting from Singapore and expanding worldwide.
The main presentation session featured multiple OKX product leads who collectively unveiled several innovative products and services for "The New Money Era," highlighting OKX’s comprehensive strategy to enhance user asset management efficiency, trading experience, and on-chain financial infrastructure.
Auto Earn – Dual Goals of Asset Utilization and Growth
Thomas Tse, OKX Trading Product Lead, introduced the “Auto Earn” feature. He explained that it allows users to automatically lend or stake idle assets on-chain without locking them up or affecting collateral for trading. This enables simultaneous trading and earning. Currently supported assets include USDT, USDC, USDG, ETH, and SOL, with annual yields varying according to market conditions. Thomas emphasized that “Auto Earn” generates additional returns seamlessly, maintaining low risk and high flexibility: “In The New Money Era, markets never sleep—and neither should your crypto assets.”
VIP Program – Premium Experience with the Right Tools
Next, Bill Chan, OKX VIP Product Lead, shared the core philosophy behind the new VIP program. Designed for high-frequency and high-volume traders, the program offers tiered membership benefits including fee discounts, dedicated customer support, and value-added tools such as BTC Yield Booster and Enhanced Dual-Currency Earnings. VIP members will also receive invitations to exclusive events, targeted rewards, and limited-edition merchandise. Bill stressed that success in future trading isn’t about having more tools, but the right ones, inviting users to experience smarter, more efficient trading on OKX.
DEX Trading – One-Click On-Chain Asset Trading Within a CEX
Thomas Tse also announced that OKX Exchange will support DEX trading, now entering limited public testing. Users can trade on-chain tokens directly using their exchange account balances (USDT, USDC, or native network tokens), without switching wallets or performing cross-chain operations. Initially available on X Layer, SOL, Base, and BSC, the service will expand to ETH and other networks. DEX trading offers better execution prices, faster settlements, and zero trading fees, along with integrated features like token discovery, market intelligence, and portfolio tracking. Users can create self-custody wallets in seconds, secured by Passkey and facial recognition—no seed phrases required—for easy access to promising new tokens. By bridging CEX and DEX, this feature delivers instant, secure, and simple on-chain trading within a familiar interface.
OKX Wallet – Self-Custody Can Be Sophisticated
On the topic of on-chain security and usability, Shawn Ma, Head of OKX DEX Aggregator, presented the latest updates to OKX Wallet. He noted that OKX Wallet has been redesigned to support over 140 blockchain networks, enabling users to swap tokens, bridge across chains, and access dApps—all within a single platform—while maintaining top-tier security by blocking high-risk tokens, addresses, and domains. Upcoming Smart Accounts will leverage Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) to safeguard private keys and enable automated take-profit, stop-loss, dollar-cost averaging, and on-chain copy trading—perfectly combining advanced trading capabilities with self-custody security. Shawn emphasized, “In The New Money Era, self-custody should never mean outdated or second-rate tools.”
X Layer – The Core Engine of The New Money Era
Felix Fan, X Layer Builder, further elaborated on X Layer’s strategic positioning. He stated that X Layer has become the core engine of The New Money Era, capable of processing 5,000 transactions per second (TPS), scalable beyond 100,000, with near-zero transaction fees and full compatibility with EVM-based public chains. Over 4 million addresses are already deployed on the chain, deeply integrated with OKX Wallet, delivering dual value in yield generation and trading tools. In terms of ecosystem development, X Layer is backed by leading DeFi protocols like Aave, while active participation from communities, developers, and meme culture drives on-chain innovation and growth. Use cases span DeFi, yield-bearing stablecoins, instant on-chain payments, high-frequency trading, cross-border transfers, and real-world settlements—forming a complete ecosystem for trading, circulation, and wealth creation in The New Money Era.
Unified USD Order Book – Ending Stablecoin Fragmentation
Additionally, Frank Zhang, OKX Trading Product Lead, introduced the Unified USD Order Book, solving the long-standing issue of fragmented stablecoin trading pairs by offering traders the deepest liquidity and seamless trading experience—akin to handling cash. Sam Liu, OKX Pay Product Lead, discussed market challenges faced by stablecoin issuers and highlighted that through the unified order book, every compliant issuer can equally access liquidity, restoring fairness and openness in the crypto market.
OKX Pay – Bringing Crypto Assets into Daily Life
Sam Liu announced the upcoming regional rollout of the OKX Card, allowing users to spend stablecoins at a 1:1 ratio at any global merchant accepting Mastercard, with plans to expand gradually to multiple regulated regions within 12 months. Built on the non-custodial OKX Pay super wallet, the card enables users to seamlessly send stablecoins via X Layer, make QR code payments, and eventually use Tap to Pay—creating a closed-loop architecture from storage and investment to spending. This drives adoption of Stablecoin 2.0 and turns crypto assets into everyday usable money.
The OKX Alphas Summit’s “The New Money Era” event was more than just a product launch—it served as a mirror reflecting the profound transformation underway in crypto finance. What OKX showcased on stage was not merely technical capability, but a holistic vision for the future of financial infrastructure: how asset flows, value creation, risk management, and user control can be redefined in the on-chain world. The event underscored that the essence of The New Money Era lies not in isolated innovations, but in ecosystem integration—only when trading, payments, investments, and community value form a closed loop can the true potential of crypto assets be unlocked.
Strategically, OKX is turning industry trends into actionable practices. These product developments reflect not only technological leadership but also a deeper consideration of how to build a sustainable, long-term ecosystem. More importantly, this approach balances user sovereignty with regulatory compliance, transforming innovation from mere experimentation into real-life tools. This focus on speed, efficiency, and security is key to designing future financial infrastructure and sets a benchmark for the entire industry.
At a higher level, the value of The New Money Era extends beyond asset mobility—it’s about redefining personal agency and financial freedom. Every on-chain transaction and payment reflects a user’s sense of ownership over their assets and future. What OKX is doing goes beyond providing tools; it’s shaping a new operational paradigm where the crypto world becomes not just a trading venue, but an accessible, everyday ecosystem for financial autonomy. It reminds us: true financial innovation isn’t measured by how flashy the technology is, but by how close it brings people to a free and controllable future.
