Frequently asked questions

What is OkCoin?

OkCoin is a cryptocurrency trading platform where users can buy, sell, and exchange digital assets. Launched in 2013, it grew from a Chinese startup into an internationally oriented exchange with a focus on spot trading and operating within regulated markets.

Is OkCoin a centralized or decentralized exchange?

OkCoin is a centralized exchange (CEX). This means a company stands behind the platform, holds custody of user funds, and acts as the intermediary in every trade — unlike DEXs, which run on smart contracts without a middleman.

When was OkCoin founded?

OkCoin was founded in 2013, which puts it among the longest-running exchanges still active today. It originally served the Chinese market and later shifted its focus to international expansion after regulatory changes in its home country.

What should users pay attention to when using OkCoin?

As with any CEX, check whether the exchange is licensed in your jurisdiction, and review its fee schedule, withdrawal options, and security practices such as proof-of-reserves. It's also worth knowing that OkCoin and OKX are related but separate brands, so don't mix them up when comparing platforms.
