OKB Skyrockets by 32% to New All-Time High as OKX Introduces OKBChain
Centralized crypto exchanges have faced serious problems over the last several months. However, not all are in dire straits. OKB, the native token of OKX, a Seychelles-based crypto exchange, hit a new all-time high of $58.66 on Saturday, according to data from CoinGecko. OKB is up by over 32% in the last seven days and is currently trading at $53.66. OKB is now the eighth largest cryptocurrency in the market. Its market cap is $13.2 billion, larger than Polygon (MATIC) and Dogecoin (DOGE). The OKB run coincides with OKX’s plans to launch OKBChain, a new blockchain. OKB started to increase in price after OKX announced the intention to launch OKBChain, a new blockchain. The new blockchain will be independent of the current OKXChain. OKX founder Star Xu clarified in a tweet the differences between the two chains saying that the first one is a community effort while the second is being developed by OKX the company. To clarify, Okxchain is a POS chain which is totally open and co-build by communities.OKBChain is developed and operated by OKX company. The two chains are totally separately. https://t.co/Y0QUjtuY6Q Xu also commented on OKX breaking its all-time high. He said that the OKB run shows the community’s trust in OKX. Xu also said that OKB will be used across both chains. On top of the incredible OKB run, OKX also released its reserver report on Monday, revealing that it has $8.6 billion in clean reserves. Clean reserves are reserves that contain no native tokens. A recent study showed that OKX has 100% clean reserves made up of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT). OKX is among the top ten centralized crypto exchanges. While exchanges like Kraken, Coinbase, and Binance, as well as the bankrupt FTX, have been facing pressure from regulators around the world, it’s a pleasant surprise to see at least one exchange do well. However, potential investors and everyday users should always do their own research before making investment decisions and choosing their trading platform.
