The raise marks an extension to the funding round announced in March, when OKX raised $200 million at the same valuation from the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange.

The fresh funding will be used to help OKX transition into a “broader global financial technology platform” that combines “crypto technology with the standards people expect from global financial institutions,” said Star Xu, founder and CEO of OKX.

On Monday, a joint venture between OKX and ICE filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a tokenized stock trading platform, under the regulator’s new innovation exemption.
