TechFlow news, OKX President Hong said in an interview with CoinDesk that although DEX trading volume on the OKX platform has grown 20-fold, DEX and CEX are not opposing forces but rather complementary. Hong added that crypto-native users need the reliability of CEX while leveraging DEX to capture innovative opportunities. She believes this supply-demand dynamic will drive further adoption of DEX for innovation, while also supporting the gradual maturation of regulatory frameworks within the crypto industry.
Additionally, regarding the Trump administration's proposal to "make Bitcoin a national strategic reserve," Hong expressed cautious skepticism, though she did not rule out the possibility that smaller sovereign nations or certain states might lead such initiatives. She noted that the crypto industry is full of uncertainties, making anything possible. Hong further pointed out that if the Trump administration fails to deliver on its crypto promises, it could quickly dampen bullish market sentiment. In her view, the biggest potential risk remains excessive centralization. The best solution to this, she said, is self-custody—the "vaccine" that OKX believes the market is rapidly embracing.
