We're Opening an Office in Australia

Brand Ambassadors Daniel Ricciardo, Scotty James, and McLaren F1 driver Oscar Piastri join event at Melbourne Arts Centre to celebrate ahead of Australian Grand Prix

Today, we are thrilled to announce our plans to open an office in Australia in the coming months. The announcement was made at an exclusive event for Australia's crypto community at the Melbourne Arts Centre, which was graced by our OKX Ambassadors Scotty James and Daniel Ricciardo.

On 30 March, the Australian Grand Prix will kick off, featuring our OKX-sponsored McLaren F1 Team car driven by Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.

Haider Rafique, our Chief Marketing Officer, said: "Our ambition is straightforward - to become the leading crypto platform in the world. We see Australia as an indispensable part of this strategy and a key growth market. With such a strong uptake of crypto in Australia already, we're committed to the local market and aim to build a strong local office."

Daniel Ricciardo, Australian F1 driver and OKX Ambassador, said: "I'm very excited to see OKX plan an office in my home country. I had a great time celebrating with the OKX team and the crypto community today. The future looks bright for OKX in Australia."

Scotty James, Australian Olympic snowboarder and OKX Ambassador, said: "Crypto never sleeps, and OKX continues to build its community. Australia is a special place for crypto, and it is exciting to see OKX announce it will be opening an office in Australia."

We want to reassure our users that our commitment to trust and transparency is showcased by our publishing of Proof of Reserves (PoR) on a monthly basis. We hold the largest 100% clean reserves among major exchanges at USD$8.9 billion, according to third-party data. Reserves and liabilities can be self-verified with trustless tools on our website.
