Crypto exchange OKX, recently valued at $25 billion following an investment from Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), is integrating a social network directly into its trading application. This move, named Orbit, allows users to share market commentary, conduct livestreams, and form trading groups. The platform also displays verified performance metrics to help users discern credible insights from hype.
Orbit aims to enhance accountability in social trading by enabling direct verification of shared metrics within the app. Users can engage in market-specific discussions using cashtags and create public or private communities. The launch coincides with OKX's expansion, including a partnership with ICE to introduce tokenized stocks and crypto futures, deepening the integration between traditional finance and digital assets.
