The statement stops short of confirming formal plans but reflects OKX’s intent to evaluate a listing as market conditions improve. The exchange reentered the U.S. in April after paying a $500 million fine to settle charges of operating without a license.
OKX ranks fifth among the world’s largest crypto exchanges, per data from CoinMarketCap. Its potential IPO would follow successful market debuts from firms like Circle and coincide with renewed enthusiasm for crypto stocks.
