On September 30, OKX held its annual event—Alphas Summit—on Sentosa Island in Singapore. The event brought together industry leaders, product heads, and partners from around the world to explore the theme of "The New Money Era." Held at the W Hotel’s Ocean View Hall, the atmosphere was both vibrant and relaxed, reflecting the island’s leisurely vibe while embodying the rationality and vision of a global financial hub. This perfectly illustrated OKX’s strategic thinking and planning for the future of crypto financial infrastructure.

The focus of the event was on three major product categories: trading products, stablecoin 2.0 products, and on-chain products. Each feature was showcased through live demonstrations and interactive Q&A sessions, highlighting how OKX is leveraging innovation to meet users’ expectations for the future of finance. The event attracted over 500 industry professionals, KOLs, developers, and media representatives, demonstrating the industry’s strong interest and trust in OKX’s products.

In his opening speech, OKX CEO Star elaborated on the core theme of the event—"The New Money Era." He emphasized that this theme reflects OKX’s grand vision for the future of finance and showcased how innovation is being used to build a more robust cryptocurrency ecosystem. Star also participated in a roundtable discussion on "OKX Pay" alongside CMO Haider Rafique and OKX SG CEO Gracie Lin, delving into the innovations in crypto payments and their potential applications in future finance.

When discussing the global development of Bitcoin and stablecoins, Star noted that Bitcoin, as one of the world’s most successful digital assets, represents one of the crypto industry’s greatest achievements over the past decade. Meanwhile, the market size of stablecoins has reached nearly $300 billion and is expected to continue growing over the next 1–2 years. He stated that stablecoin payments are not only secure and compliant but also enhance payment efficiency, and they are expected to become increasingly integrated into daily life in the coming years. OKX Pay aims to become the global hub for stablecoin liquidity.

During the event, several OKX product leads introduced innovative products tailored for "The New Money Era." From "Auto-Earn" to the "VIP Program" and "DEX Trading" features, OKX comprehensively demonstrated its strategic focus on improving user asset management efficiency, trading experience, and on-chain financial infrastructure.

Thomas Tse introduced the "Auto-Earn" feature, which enables users to automatically lend or stake idle assets without locking them up or affecting collateral or trading margins, thereby maximizing asset growth. Bill Chan shared a new VIP program designed for high-frequency traders, offering a more efficient and intelligent trading experience. At the same time, OKX announced support for DEX trading, allowing users to seamlessly trade on-chain assets within the CEX platform, breaking down the boundaries between CEX and DEX.

In terms of on-chain security and convenience, the updates to OKX Wallet stood out as a highlight. Shawn Ma introduced the redesigned OKX Wallet, which supports over 140 blockchain networks and offers cross-chain bridging and dApp access, ensuring secure and seamless on-chain transactions. Meanwhile, X Layer, as the core engine of "The New Money Era," breaks traditional blockchain performance bottlenecks with its capability to process 5,000 transactions per second, positioning itself as the infrastructure for decentralized finance.

Frank Zhang and Sam Liu introduced OKX’s unified USD order book and OKX Pay, respectively, further enhancing cryptocurrency trading liquidity and payment functionality. Notably, OKX Pay’s planned stablecoin consumption card will further promote the use of crypto assets in daily life, making stablecoins more accessible worldwide.

From a strategic perspective, OKX’s Alphas Summit showcased not only cutting-edge technology but also how innovative products can be implemented to build a sustainable crypto financial ecosystem. OKX’s vision is to integrate crypto assets into daily life through designs that prioritize user sovereignty and compliance, empowering global users to achieve financial freedom.

The event clearly conveyed a core message: true financial innovation is not just about technological sophistication but about providing users with an accessible and self-controlled future. Through innovative strategies and ecosystem integration, OKX demonstrated its deep understanding of "The New Money Era," leading the industry toward a more open and interconnected crypto financial future.
