Coinone Gains OKX as New Shareholder... Strategic Move to Secure Foothold in Next-Gen Financial Market

Digital asset exchange Coinone has acquired OKX as a new shareholder, aiming to strengthen compliance and technological capabilities. The partnership combines Coinone's 12 years of security operations with OKX's matching engine, custody, and wallet technology to prepare for next-generation digital financial markets. OKX Ventures, OKX's subsidiary, recently secured a 20% stake in Coinone, positioning both firms as strategic partners. The collaboration stems from shared technological philosophies and compliance priorities, with both CEOs emphasizing regulatory alignment. OKX's global infrastructure, including licenses in 27+ countries and a $200M investment from ICE, will enhance Coinone's technological capabilities, particularly in high-speed matching engines.
