What's New
Today marks two significant milestones for OKX in Singapore, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to responsible growth in the Lion City.
- MPI License Approval: Following the Monetary Authority of Singapore's (MAS) in-principle approval in February, we’ve now received full authorization for our Major Payment Institution (MPI) license. This milestone reinforces our dedication to serving Singapore’s community with secure, transparent, and innovative solutions. As a strategic global market, Singapore’s MPI license represents a pivotal step in our long-term vision for the region.
- New Leadership Appointment: We’re thrilled to welcome Gracie Lin as CEO of OKX Singapore. Our philosophy prioritizes local leadership to ensure accountability and relevance for customers. Gracie’s expertise spans public policy, investment management, and tech startups—making her the ideal leader to drive our market strategy.
Product Enhancements
In alignment with local regulations, we’re upgrading our offerings for Singaporean users:
- Live Services: Buy/sell/convert trading is now operational.
- Upcoming Feature: Seamless integration with local banks for deposits and withdrawals (post-MPI approval).
Beyond products, we aim to:
- Collaborate with regulators and partners to advance the digital asset industry.
- Develop local talent and infrastructure to support sector growth.
The Bigger Picture
OKX’s mission is to empower customers through responsible innovation. Our global strategy hinges on two pillars:
1. Build Locally

- Bridging crypto and traditional finance seamlessly.
Looking Ahead
As we approach a decade in crypto, Singapore’s expansion underscores our commitment to:
- Responsible Innovation: Partnering with communities and regulators.
