OKX Launches In-App Social Network ’Orbit’ Following $25B Valuation Boost
OKX has embedded a social trading feature called Orbit within its cryptocurrency exchange app, enabling users to share market commentary, livestream analysis, and form trading groups. The platform integrates verified performance metrics—portfolio returns, P/L figures, and win rates—pulled directly from linked trading accounts.
The rollout began February 26 in limited beta before expanding globally. Orbit utilizes 'cashtags' like $BTC and $ETH for seamless trade execution from posts, positioning itself as a transparency tool for retail traders. The launch follows a strategic investment from Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE parent) that valued OKX at $25 billion.
