The world of decentralized finance (DeFi) is evolving rapidly, and with it, the tools users rely on to navigate this dynamic space. In 2025, OKX is taking a bold step forward by launching a standalone OKX Wallet app, now available on the App Store and Google Play. This strategic move reflects a growing demand for intuitive, secure, and feature-rich self-custody solutions that empower users to take full control of their digital assets.

The Evolution of OKX Wallet
Three years ago, OKX introduced its DeFi wallet as an integrated mode within the main OKX app—allowing users to seamlessly switch between centralized exchange functions and self-custody features. What began as an experimental feature has since transformed into a cornerstone of our Web3 ecosystem.
Today, OKX Wallet supports over 130 blockchains, facilitates approximately $1 billion in daily transactions**, and safeguards around **$44.5 billion worth of crypto assets through self-custody. With nearly 500,000 new wallets created every day, it's clear that users are embracing decentralized ownership at an unprecedented scale.
Despite this success, we identified a critical challenge: discoverability. Many new crypto users remain unaware of the wallet’s capabilities because it was embedded within a broader platform. To address this, we’ve made the decision to launch a dedicated app—designed specifically for DeFi exploration, NFT engagement, and secure asset management.
Two Apps, Two Distinct Purposes
Starting now, users can choose between two distinct applications based on their needs:
OKX App – Your Gateway to Centralized Crypto Finance
Ideal for beginners and active traders alike, the OKX app simplifies crypto investing with powerful yet user-friendly tools:
- Track real-time market trends and discover emerging cryptocurrencies
- Build and manage diversified investment portfolios
- Earn passive income through staking and holding incentives (in select markets)
- Access advanced trading features like futures, copy trading, and automated trading bots (availability varies by region)
This app remains your go-to solution for centralized trading, quick conversions, and everyday financial interactions with crypto.
OKX Wallet App – Full Control Over Your Digital Assets
The new standalone OKX Wallet app is built for those who want true autonomy in the decentralized world. It serves as your personal key to Web3, enabling direct interaction with dApps, NFTs, memecoins, and emerging digital economies.
Key features include:
- Self-custody with full key ownership – You control your private keys and seed phrase
- Real-time token swaps across millions of tokens via a decentralized infrastructure
- NFT and inscription management – Create, collect, and trade digital art and collectibles
- Access to thousands of DeFi protocols – Discover yield opportunities, liquidity pools, and governance platforms
- Smart routing engine – Aggregates liquidity from top DEXs to ensure optimal swap pricing (global DEX aggregator currently under temporary restriction)

For Existing OKX Wallet Users: A Smooth Transition
If you're already using the OKX Wallet within the main OKX app, here’s what you need to know:
- Download the new OKX Wallet app from official app stores.
- Import your existing wallet using your seed phrase.
During the transition period, your wallet will remain accessible in both apps. However, wallet functionalities within the primary OKX app will be gradually phased out. We strongly recommend importing your wallet into the new app as soon as possible to ensure uninterrupted access.
Your funds are safe—since OKX Wallet is non-custodial, you’ve always been in control of your assets. As long as you keep your seed phrase secure, your crypto remains recoverable on any compatible wallet.
Security You Can Trust
At the core of the OKX Wallet experience is uncompromising security. As a fully self-custodial solution, OKX does not hold or access any user funds. Each user receives a unique seed phrase during setup—the sole means of recovering assets if a device is lost or compromised.
Our wallet software is rigorously tested and has maintained a flawless security record—zero breaches to date. Independent audits by leading cybersecurity firms such as Hacken and CertiK consistently rank OKX Wallet among the most secure in the industry.
All code is developed in-house and regularly reviewed through internal testing and external bug bounty programs that incentivize ethical hackers to identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Why a Standalone Wallet Matters
Separating the wallet from the exchange app isn’t just about visibility—it’s about intentionality. A dedicated wallet app signals a shift toward user empowerment, education, and long-term engagement with Web3.
New users benefit from a focused interface designed specifically for self-custody and DeFi exploration. Seasoned users gain enhanced functionality, better performance, and clearer separation between custodial trading and personal asset management.
This evolution aligns with broader industry trends: as blockchain technology matures, so too must the tools that bring it to the mainstream.
