_A message from OKX CMO Haider Rafique_:
We're excited to introduce the new OKX Wallet App, now available on the App Store and Google Play. After extensive deliberation, we’ve decided to separate our DeFi wallet from the primary OKX app to enhance accessibility and user experience.
Background on the OKX Wallet Experiment
Three years ago, we launched OKX Wallet as an integrated feature within our main app, allowing users to switch between centralized exchange and self-custody modes. What started as an experiment has grown exponentially:
- 500,000+ new wallets created daily
- $1B+ in daily transactions processed
- $44.5B in crypto self-custodied across 130+ blockchains
Despite this growth, we recognized that embedding the wallet in the main app made it harder for new users to discover. By launching a standalone app, we aim to simplify onboarding and boost familiarity with self-custody solutions.
