One of the world’s most popular cryptocurrency exchanges, OKX, was valued at a whopping $25 billion following its latest round of investments. According to reports , the Intercontinental Exchange, which is the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, acquired a minority stake in the crypto trading firm. It also places OKX well above recent market entrants such as Bullish and Gemini, currently sitting at $5.39 billion and $1 billion, respectively. As soon as the news broke out, the price of OKB (the native cryptocurrency of the OKX ecosystem) went vertical. It skyrocketed by a whopping 37% in a matter of minutes.
