Sharing something we’ve been working on at OKX:

Today we’re introducing the Agent Payments Protocol (APP), an open standard for how AI agents transact, coordinate, and complete work onchain.

The starting point is simple. Payments are only one small part of how real economic activity happens. Before and after a transaction, there’s quoting, negotiation, execution, settlement, and sometimes dispute resolution. Most agent systems today don’t cover that full lifecycle.

APP is designed to close that gap.

It enables agents to:

• Discover and engage with each other
• Agree on terms and pricing
• Execute payments across different models (one-time, streaming, escrow)
• Complete and settle work end-to-end without constant human coordination

In that sense, this is less about “payments” in isolation, and more about infrastructure for agentic commerce.

Just as open protocols shaped the early internet, we think similar primitives are needed for an AI-native economy.

APP is built as an open standard so developers across ecosystems like Ethereum, Solana, and others can implement and extend it in their own environments.

A number of teams across cloud, L1s, DeFi, and AI are already contributing to this direction, including @awscloud, @alibaba_cloud, @ethereumfndn, @solana, @base, @SuiNetwork, @Optimism, @Aptos, @Uniswap, @Paxos, @moonpay, @Quicknode, @nansen_ai and others.

There’s still a lot to figure out, but this feels like a meaningful step toward more autonomous, programmable economic systems.

Curious to see where builders take it.

@Haider Well said H. This was the reason I joined OKX 5 years back. I had an offer from the market share leader as well, same role. I told my wife OKX felt right. That gut feeling telling me there was principle driven, high character people running the company. I was right

No friction. No workarounds. No extra setup.

Today we announced a strategic relationship with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).

• ICE has made a direct investment in OKX and joining our Board of Directors
• ICE will license OKX spot crypto prices to launch U.S.-regulated futures
• OKX plans to provide access to ICE U.S. futures and NYSE tokenized equities markets to our 120M users

Together, we’re advancing the infrastructure connecting digital assets and global capital markets.

A New Chapter: Building the Next Generation of Financial Infrastructure

Our partnership with Intercontinental Exchange marks an important moment for OKX and for the broader evolution of digital asset markets. ICE has built and operated some of the most important financial infrastructure in the world, including the New York Stock Exchange and global derivatives and clearing platforms. Their decision to invest in OKX, and join our board, reflects a shared belief that digital asset technology will play an enduring role in the future of financial markets.

For OKX, this partnership also represents a new chapter in how we approach the United States. In many ways, we view our presence in the U.S. as a blank sheet of paper — an opportunity to build thoughtfully, engage constructively with regulators and institutions, and contribute to the development of market infrastructure that meets the standards of the world’s most sophisticated capital markets.

Financial markets are entering a period of structural transformation. Blockchain technology allows assets to move and settle globally with unprecedented efficiency. Artificial intelligence is reshaping how markets analyze information and manage risk. At the same time, expectations around safety, transparency, and investor protection remain as important as ever. The next generation of financial infrastructure must bring these elements together.

One area where we see tremendous potential is the development of tokenized securities and digital representations of traditional assets. In the future, issuers may be able to bring securities directly to global investors through modern digital infrastructure, while still benefiting from the governance, market structure, and regulatory frameworks that have long defined traditional exchanges. Working alongside ICE and the broader New York Stock Exchange ecosystem gives us a unique opportunity to explore how these models can evolve responsibly.

Our focus is not simply on new technology, but on building durable infrastructure for the global financial system. This includes improving market structure, strengthening risk management and clearing frameworks, expanding institutional access to digital assets, and creating platforms that protect consumers while enabling innovation.

OKX today serves more than 120 million people globally and operates under licensing frameworks in major financial jurisdictions. Over the past decade, we have built high-performance trading systems, onchain technologies, payment systems and security frameworks capable of supporting large-scale global markets. As digital assets continue to mature, we believe collaboration between technology innovators and established financial institutions will be essential.

Our partnership with ICE reflects this principle. Together we will explore how traditional exchange infrastructure and digital asset technology can complement each other to build stronger, more efficient markets.

This investment is not an endpoint — it is the beginning of a deeper collaboration. Our goal is to help shape the next chapter of financial markets, where digital and traditional infrastructure work together to expand access, strengthen trust, and support innovation across the global economy.

This is the brutal truth:

— When volume surges violently, order engines get overwhelmed.
— When risk systems are mis-tuned, the only relief is forced liquidation or de-risking the treasury (i.e. taking hits)

What we’ve engineered at OKX is a high-capacity order pipeline + a risk control system that walks the tightrope:

-throttling or rejecting only where absolutely necessary
-dynamically adjusting margin tiers, collateral factors, and hedges
-preserving liquidity even under tail events
-all without interrupting service

So when the markets get squeezed — we absorb, balance.

No downtime. No panic selling triggered by system shock. That’s the core of real marketplace engineering.

Five years ago we were just an “exchange”

Three years ago we launched the first version of our web3 self custody wallet

Two years ago we introduced native dApps like our DEX markets with integrations into other primary DEXs and liquidity pools

This year we introduced our stablecoin-first Payments app with practical self custody

All of these innovations came with clear intentions…. not by chasing hype

The last few months we’ve been forming a new team at @OKX to expand our Government Affairs efforts globally. This is a important time to engage with governments around the world as they develop licensing frameworks for digital assets. It also presents an opportunity to help governments explore the role of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in their financial reserves. There is still much work ahead to help shape the future of finance.

I’m pleased to share that Marcus Hughes, previously at Coinbase and Kraken, has joined us to lead this effort as VP of Global Government Affairs. @Star_okx, myself, and the entire OKX management team are excited to welcome Marcus as he begins this important work.
