On August 28, OKX Director Lennix was invited to attend the Bitcoin Asia 2026 roundtable forum "The Rise of Financial Super Applications," where he shared insights on the integration of traditional finance and the crypto market, the underlying infrastructure of financial super applications, and the development prospects of stock tokenization.Lennix stated that financial products are accelerating towards integration within the same account system. In the future, users will want to trade and manage different categories of financial assets under the same funds, the same account, and the same margin and risk control system, which will become an important direction for the continuous evolution of the industry. He pointed out that on the surface, financial super applications allow trading of crypto, traditional stock assets, foreign exchange, commodities, etc., within one application; however, the real challenge lies in the connectivity of the underlying infrastructure of various assets, including the banking system, wallets, trading accounts, shared margins, and the collaboration between risk control and compliance backends.At the same time, Lennix mentioned that stock tokenization and the tokenization of traditional financial assets are essentially an upgrade to the traditional market. By connecting relevant assets to the matching, margin, risk control, and compliance systems of cryptocurrency exchanges, the market can achieve longer trading and risk management periods, while continuously providing price signals during non-trading hours. When discussing institutional cooperation, Lennix stated that the strategic investment of the Intercontinental Exchange in the OKX Group reflects that the financial market is moving towards tokenization and around-the-clock trading. With the continuous growth of stock tokenization business, this field is expected to become an important development direction for future financial markets.

ChainCatcher reported live that Lennix Lai, the Global Chief Business Officer of OKX, delivered a keynote speech at the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival. He pointed out that AI Agents are changing the way users interact with wallets and blockchains. OKX is building a wallet operating system from scratch that serves not only human users but also AI Agents: On-chain OS.This system is built on the existing capabilities of the OKX wallet, which includes 1.2 billion API calls per day, over $300 million in daily trading volume, support for more than 60 chains, and aggregation of 500 DEXs. Users can issue commands in natural language, such as "automatically exchange to USDC when ETH drops below 2000," and the Agent will automatically track prices, compare quotes from different DEXs, route the optimal path, and execute the trade upon human confirmation.He emphasized that Agents also need to trade and pay each other, thus requiring an efficient and low-cost microtransaction settlement layer. OKX's Layer 2 network, X Layer, plays this role with zero gas fees and instant finality, and it supports the X402 payment protocol and on-chain Agent identity registration. He stated that future financial infrastructure will no longer serve only top professionals; an individual working with five different Agents can achieve results comparable to those of large institutional investment teams, which is the most significant meaning of AI in the cryptocurrency industry.

ChainCatcher news, OKX Global Chief Business Officer Lennix was invited to attend the "2025 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival" summit and participated in the roundtable discussion on the theme "Bitcoin as the Next Global Reserve Asset."During the discussion, Lennix stated that as global trade wars and tariffs continue to change, especially under the impact of the tariff policies imposed by the United States on other countries, Bitcoin is gradually being viewed as a more transparent and reliable reserve asset. It can help address currency devaluation and other economic shocks caused by tariffs.In addition, Lennix also mentioned that if the U.S. government begins to actually incorporate Bitcoin into its strategic reserves, market participants worldwide may reassess Bitcoin's potential as a reserve asset, thereby accelerating Bitcoin's transition to the next generation of central bank reserve assets.

ChainCatcher news, OKX Global Business Officer Lennix was invited to attend the "2025 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival" summit and participated in the roundtable discussion on the theme "Crypto Infrastructure: Present and Future." During the discussion, Lennix stated that the product development of the OKX Web3 wallet is based on two core principles: first, we firmly believe that true self-custody will become the mainstream in the future; second, we are deeply embedded in a multi-chain ecosystem. It has been proven that we are very successful in product development because we have invested hundreds of engineers focused on product refinement and technological innovation.Lennix pointed out that the OKX Web3 wallet is positioned differently from other wallets. On one hand, it always adheres to a truly decentralized infrastructure; on the other hand, it also highly values and responds to global regulatory expectations and requirements. This is precisely the unique challenge faced by the OKX Web3 wallet, and it is also our advantage.

ChainCatcher news, OKX Global Chief Business Officer Lennix tweeted regarding the incident of "input methods posing a risk of leaking Web3 user privacy data," stating that users face different risks when using electronic products and applications, which may lead to the loss of mnemonic phrases or private keys. Although there are ways to address these issues, once a mnemonic phrase/private key is generated, it inherently carries a single point of risk, and it can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure.In Lennix's view, the best way to address the single point of risk associated with mnemonic phrases/private keys is to control the risk from the source. He recommends that users choose OKX MPC keyless wallets, which are designed to avoid the risk of private key leakage. This is currently the industry's first 2/3 multi-chain keyless wallet and is a completely decentralized, non-custodial wallet. It not only avoids the possibility of user private key leakage but also achieves transparent and verifiable calculations and storage of user private key fragments through open-source algorithms.

ChainCatcher news, OKX Global Chief Business Officer Lennix tweeted that the design of the OKX Web3 wallet focuses on balancing security and convenience. In comparison, the OKX Web3 wallet adopts a secure digital asset storage and management solution - Vault service, rather than querying through Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), which avoids the risks associated with RPC interfaces.In addition, the OKX Web3 wallet has also designed multi-layer security measures such as offline storage and multi-signature, which greatly reduces the risk of hacker attacks on the network. Lennix emphasized that the OKX Web3 wallet will never actively disclose all user addresses and privacy. (source link)

According to ChainCatcher news, the official announcement states that Lennix, the Global Chief Business Officer of OKX, forwarded a tweet regarding the official deployment of the Bitcoin ecological standard BRC20-S and indicated that BRC20-S involves locking and staking assets through the minting of inscriptions. The locked assets remain in the user's own wallet, making it relatively safer than using contract-staked assets.It is reported that the BRC20-S standard aims to introduce a staking mechanism to the Bitcoin ecosystem, allowing users to earn returns through staking without selling BRC-20 assets. Additionally, it enables project parties to distribute BRC20-S assets to holders of Bitcoin or BRC-20 assets, thereby supporting the development of the Bitcoin ecosystem.

ChainCatcher news, OKX Global Chief Business Officer Lennix forwarded a tweet regarding "recent phishing activities using fake USDT high-risk authorizations to deceive users for GAS" and stated that security incidents in Web3 wallets in the Chinese-speaking region are frequent.

If users make erroneous operations, they can use the OKX Web3 wallet authorization management feature, which allows for one-click management of authorizations and regular risk clean-up.It is reported that the OKX Web3 wallet always prioritizes user security and has launched multiple security protection features, including the Tianyan KYT system, authorization management, DApp interaction identification of problematic contracts, automatic identification of fraudulent transactions during transfers, interception of risky purchases, and automatic concealment of Pixiu/phishing NFTs, providing 24/7 protection for Web3 wallet users.

ChainCatcher news, recently, Lennix, Managing Director of the Global Institutional Business Division at OKX, was invited by the International Financial Law Review (IFLR) to discuss the competition between Hong Kong and Singapore as Web3 hubs.Lennix stated that both Hong Kong and Singapore are exploring regulations for the crypto industry, and each has its own characteristics regarding VASP licenses, representing two different licensing systems that cannot be directly compared. However, the regulation of crypto trading platforms by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission is very similar to that of traditional securities firms. The cost of obtaining a Hong Kong VASP license is higher than in Singapore, requiring more preparation and higher compliance costs, which is why the number of platforms applying for a Hong Kong VASP license is lower than that in Singapore.It is reported that OKX has previously announced the establishment of a Hong Kong entity and is applying for a Hong Kong VASP license under the new regulatory framework, as well as Type 1 and Type 7 licenses under the Securities and Futures Ordinance.

ChainCatcher news, during the "CeFi Overview" roundtable discussion at the 2023 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, OKX Global Institutional General Manager Lennix Lai stated that he does not believe centralized platform operators will disappear. CeFi and DeFi can share the global market size, but for regional markets, a "gatekeeper" that complies with local regulations and custody policies is needed.

ChainCatcher news, Lennix, Managing Director of Global Institutional Business at OKX, was invited to attend the "POW'ER 2023 Hong Kong Web3 Innovators Summit" and delivered a keynote speech titled "Viewing the World from Hong Kong: How to Seize Opportunities in the Web3 Era."Lennix stated that OKX effectively avoids the risks of centralized auditing through its Merkle tree-based Proof of Reserves (PoR) and independent custody address functions, achieving asset transparency comparable to traditional finance. All users can view the two PoR audit results on the OKX official website and can verify them using self-verification features and open-source tools. In addition to regularly publishing PoR reports, OKX will also leverage technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs in the future to continuously enhance transparency and strive to protect user asset security. With advancements in technology, the transparency of PoR can meet the standards of traditional financial audits. (Source link)
