OKX Unleashes Rubix: Digital Assets-as-a-Service Revolution for Financial Institutions

Wall Street's getting a crypto makeover—whether it's ready or not.

The Institutional Gateway

OKX just dropped Rubix, their Digital Assets-as-a-Service platform that's basically a turnkey solution for traditional finance players dipping toes into digital waters. No more building infrastructure from scratch—just plug and play.

Bypassing Legacy Systems

Financial institutions can now access crypto trading, custody, and staking services without the regulatory headache. Rubix cuts through the red tape that's been slowing down adoption since Bitcoin's early days.

Because apparently waiting for banks to figure out blockchain wasn't moving fast enough—watching traditional finance 'discover' crypto is like watching your grandparents discover texting. Revolutionary, but painfully slow.

Building Blocks for a Bespoke Institutional Workflow

Institutions can select only the components they need and align them to existing operating models, risk frameworks and governance structures:

• Regulated Market Access — includes MiCA/MiFID II (Europe), VARA (UAE), AFSL/AUSTRAC (Australia), CNV (Argentina), and U.S. MSB/MTL coverage.

• Liquidity & Execution — deep central-limit-order-book markets and OTC RFQ for best execution.

• Post-Trade Settlement — delayed settlement for capital-efficient operations without exchange pre-funding.

• Connectivity — bespoke integrations with existing OMS/EMS systems, plus FIX, REST and WebSocket APIs.

• Off-Exchange Custody — select preferred licensed bank custodians and third-party providers to reduce counterparty risk.

• Collateral Optimisation — flexibility to use fiat, stablecoins, crypto assets, and tokenized money-market funds.

• Additional Services – include credit lines, loans, fiat on/off ramps, and enterprise-grade account controls.

Rubix allows financial institutions to offer regulated digital-asset services within existing channels, maintaining their own branding, policies, limits, data models and reporting, while OKX provides the regulated market infrastructure behind the scenes.

“Institutions are ready to meet client demand for digital assets but have been held back by complexity and compliance,” said Simon Ren, Senior Vice President, OKX Institutional. “Rubix removes those barriers with a modular, interoperable solution that integrates into established front-, middle- and back-office processes. Rubix is deployed as a bespoke institutional workflow—designed and governed by the client—while OKX provides the regulated, scalable market infrastructure behind it.”

Rubix is delivered in partnership with a global network of regulated custodians and OMS/EMS providers, enabling custom regional configurations that reflect local regulatory obligations, operating preferences and service-level requirements—reinforcing OKX’s belief that digital-asset adoption will be built on interoperability, not fragmentation.

Live today: Rubix is already operating with institutional partners across Europe, APAC, the UAE, and LATAM, with additional institutions currently onboarding.
