OKX founder plans to launch secret Bitcoin business in Feb, predicts the industry will grow 100X

Source Cryptopolitan

Star Xu, the founder of crypto exchange OKX, has teased the upcoming launch of a secret Bitcoin-focused business, set to debut in February. Speaking at the “OKX New Year’s Dinner” in Da Nang, Xu shared limited details about the venture, describing it as a significant step toward driving industry innovation and accelerating mass adoption of cryptocurrencies.

As revealed by Chinese correspondent Colin Wu, the specifics of the project remains under wraps, as the product is still undergoing refinement. “We aim to contribute to industry innovation and accelerate mass adoption,” the OKX founder and CEO said, adding, “I’ll keep it a secret for now.”

OKX CEO outlines vision for growth

During the dinner event, the founder repeatedly mentioned three words, meant to echo the company’s focus in 2025: compliance, Bitcoin, wallets, OKB (OKX’s utility token), and innovation. He reflected on the evolution of Bitcoin, recounting how initial skeptics dismissed it as overpriced at $10, only to later see it as an undervalued asset.

“When BTC started at $10, many friends I know used to think that BTC was too expensive, but later they thought that BTC was too cheap… I believe similar situations will be repeated many times in the future,” Xu noted.

“The scale of the entire crypto industry will grow by 100x,” he predicted. Xu also drew a comparison between Bitcoin’s current market value, saying it was roughly one-tenth that of gold. However, owing to the success spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have had over gold ETFs, the CEO believes the largest crypto will eclipse gold in the near future.

Commitment to neutrality and quality

The founder also shed light on OKX’s neutral stance in the industry, reaffirming that the platform does not create its own tokens beyond OKB. Instead, OKX Ventures, its investment arm, maintains an impartial approach by investing in projects regardless of their listing status on the crypto exchange.

“Our listing strategy is a means to discover high-quality assets,” he explained, while also acknowledging criticism that the platform has not empowered OKB sufficiently.

OKB, the utility token of OKX, is used for calculating and paying trading fees, participating in governance and voting processes, and providing rewards to users who hold the token. It also plays a crucial role as the “gas” of X Layer, with OKX team planning for more developments to enhance its utility.

OKX Web3 wallet’s progress

The exchange’s Web3 Wallet Product Director Aaron delivered a keynote at the same event, reflecting on the rapid development of the wallet and its role in the industry. Over the past few years, the Web3 Wallet has built a multi-chain ecosystem while engaging in trending sectors like airdrops, inscriptions, and decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

“OKX Web3 aims to become a fair hotspot platform and the Web3 gateway for players,” Aaron stated.

He described initiatives such as multi-chain and multi-account development during the airdrop season, launching a TG mini app during the TON trend, and enhancing market and DEX functionalities for memecoins.

Just recently, the crypto exchange issued a warning about unauthorized wallet extensions available in the Firefox plug-in store. These fake extensions were reported to add third-party functionality within the browser interface, posing a risk to users.

【重要公告】我们注意到近期 Firefox 浏览器插件商城中出现了假冒的 OKX Wallet 插件，请注意：OKX 官方目前尚未发布任何 Firefox 插件⚠️

如果您已经使用该恶意插件请立即转移相关钱包资产，我们已经就此向 Firefox 官方投诉。… pic.twitter.com/GjImvSA35l

— OKX中文 (@okxchinese) January 8, 2025

In a statement shared on January 8, the crypto exchange confirmed that it had not released an official Firefox browser extension for its wallet. The company urged users who had downloaded the extension to immediately secure their digital assets and migrate them to more safer storages.

“User safety remains our top priority,” OKX wrote in a post on its official X account, assuring its community that it is taking measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Ethereum is attempting to recover from a $3,026 low but remains below $3,200 and the 100-hour SMA, with a bearish trend line near $3,175 capping rebounds as bulls need a clean break above $3,200 to target $3,250–$3,400, while a drop below $3,050 risks a retest of $3,000 and $2,940.

Bitcoin Slides 5% as Sellers Lean In — Can BTC Reclaim $88,000?Bitcoin has dropped back below $88,000 after rolling over from $90,500, with price still trading under the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. The sell-off found a floor at $85,151, and BTC is now consolidating near that base, but rebounds are facing pressure from a bearish trend line around $89,000. Bulls need to retake $88,000–$89,000 to ease downside risk; failure to do so keeps $85,500–$85,000 and then $83,500 in play, with $80,000 as the deeper “line in the sand.” Bitcoin (BTC) is back in damage-control mode after a sharp pullback wiped out recent gains. The price failed to reclaim the $90,000–$90,500 band, rolled over, and slid through $88,500 before briefly dipping under $87,000. Buyers did show up around $85,000, but the rebound so far looks more like stabilization than a clear trend reversal. Bitcoin dips hard, finds a bid near $85,000（h3） BTC’s latest move lower began when it couldn’t build follow-through above $90,000 and $90,500. Once that upside stalled, sellers took control and pushed price down through $88,500. The slide accelerated enough to spike below $87,000, but the market didn’t free-fall. Bulls defended the $85,000 zone, printing a low at $85,151. Since then, Bitcoin has been consolidating below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the drop from the $93,560 swing high to the $85,151 low — a clue that the bounce is still shallow and that sellers haven’t fully backed off yet. Structurally, BTC is still on the back foot: It’s trading below $88,000, and It remains below the 100-hour Simple Moving Average, keeping short-term trend pressure pointed downward. Resistance is layered, and $89,000 is the problem area（h3） If bulls try to turn this into a recovery, they’ll have to climb through multiple ceilings in quick succession. First, BTC faces resistance around $87,150, followed by a more meaningful barrier near $87,500. From there, the market’s attention snaps back to $88,000 — the level BTC just lost and now needs to reclaim. A close back above $88,000 would improve the tone, but it doesn’t solve the bigger issue: there’s a bearish trend line on the hourly BTC/USD chart (Kraken feed) with resistance near $89,000, which also lines up with the next technical hurdle. If BTC can push through $89,000 and hold, the rebound could extend toward $90,000, with follow-through targets at $91,000 and $91,500. But until price clears that $88,000–$89,000 zone, rallies are at risk of being sold rather than chased. If BTC fails to reclaim resistance, the downside path is clear（h3） The near-term bear case is simple: if Bitcoin can’t climb back above the $87,000 area and keep traction, sellers may attempt another leg lower. Support levels line up like this: Immediate support: $85,500 First major support: $85,000 Next support: $83,500 Then $82,500 in the near term Below that, the major “don’t break this” level is still $80,000. If BTC slips under $80,000, the risk of acceleration to the downside increases significantly — not because it’s magic, but because it’s the kind of psychological and structural level that tends to trigger forced de-risking. Indicators: momentum still leans bearish（h3） The intraday indicators aren’t offering much comfort yet: Hourly MACD is losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI remains below 50, suggesting sellers still have the upper hand on short timeframes.
