Crypto Exchange OKX Registers as Digital Asset Business in Bahamas

Exchange News
  • FTX has also established a new base of operations in the Bahamas.
  • According to the press release, OKX has also registered under the DARE act.

OKX, the exchange behind the OKB cryptocurrency, has registered as a Digital Asset Business in the Bahamas, according to a business news release, which has increased the value of the token.

Additionally, the corporation has established a presence in Nassau, the island nation’s capital, with the intention of recruiting and employing a hundred people. As it turns out, the Bahamas is not the first place a cryptocurrency exchange has set up a business. FTX, founded by Sam Bankman-Fried, has also established a new base of operations in the Bahamas.

Firms have been attracted to the Caribbean in large part due to the clarity of its regulatory position on cryptocurrency. Companies in the nation may create and trade digital tokens with little to no interference from regulators, all thanks to the Digital Assets and Registered Exchanges (DARE) law that was introduced in the late 2020s. According to the press release, OKX has also registered under the DARE act.

Native Token OKB Surges

According to statistics provided by Coingecko, the price of OKB (the native token of the OKX cryptocurrency exchange) has increased by about 25% during the previous 24 hours, hitting a new monthly high of $22.15.

OKB is the nineteenth biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization at the time of writing, trading at roughly $20.37 after pulling back following a prolonged bull run. Also, trading volume has increased significantly, up 208% to $90.019 million in the previous 24 hours.

OKB is up more than 28.9 percent in the last week, making it the third-best performer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market valuation. The currency has gained a lot today, but it is still down almost 53% from its all-time high of $44.01 in May 2021.
