Star Xu

Founder, OKX

Search every verified Star Xu interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Star Xu, founder and CEO of OKX, has been publicly discussing the convergence of crypto, traditional finance, and artificial intelligence in financial services. At OKX NOW, a company conference in September 2026, he argued that the distinction between crypto and traditional finance will blur, with crypto contributing 24/7 markets, programmable money, and self-custody, while traditional finance brings liquidity and regulatory experience. He also stated that AI could make personalized wealth management accessible to ordinary users by acting as an "AI agent" private banker, and noted that OKX has invested in regulated infrastructure across markets including the United States, Europe, UAE, Singapore, Australia, Brazil, and Turkey, and has published proof-of-reserve reports monthly for over 40 months. In interviews, Xu has reflected on his early Bitcoin history, saying he first bought Bitcoin at around $10 and won 10,000 Bitcoin through a betting site, and recalled initially dismissing Ethereum as a "shitcoin" when Vitalik Buterin approached him about listing it. He has also discussed the importance of regulation, citing FTX and Mt. Gox as examples of why client protections are needed, and expressed expectations that the next decade will bring a larger crypto revolution than the last, citing stablecoins and tokenized equities as key developments. He has also commented on the October 10 incident involving Binance's USDe stablecoin, describing how its use as collateral for derivative and margin trading created problems.
