Star releases its 2025 year-end letter: System stability, security, and transparency are the foundation for financial freedom.

PANews reported on December 30th that OKX founder and CEO Stephen Star released his 2025 year-end letter, stating that financial freedom is not about having no rules, but rather about having a reliable, verifiable, and selectable financial system that remains reliable even under pressure. In 2025, OKX maintained stable system operation amidst multiple extreme market fluctuations, processing a peak of 1.72 million transactions per second on October 11th, with order latency maintained at 20 microseconds.

Star points out that OKX maintains a 3%–5% asset redundancy throughout the year, continuously issues Proof of Reserve (PoR), and its main asset reserve ratio consistently exceeds 100%. Meanwhile, OKX continues to invest in security, anti-fraud, self-custody, and compliance market expansion. In 2025, the platform's global trading volume increased by 16% year-on-year, DEX trading volume increased by approximately 262%, and the number of global users exceeded 120 million.
