OKX’s Regulated Market Strategy Fuels Explosive Growth in 2025

[tradelikepro]

OKX reported a 53x increase in trading volume across licensed and regulated markets in 2025, highlighting how regulatory alignment has become a growth driver rather than a constraint. The exchange’s expansion into the European Economic Area under MiCA and its April entry into the US reshaped its user and volume profile.

Daily active wallets doubled year over year, with 190,000 new wallets created per day, while decentralized trading on the platform surged 262% globally. Centralized trading volumes also rose 16%, signaling balanced growth across both CeFi and DeFi rails. OKX’s data reinforces a broader industry shift: regulated access is increasingly where scale is built.
