Digital assets firm OKX has expanded its global operations with the launch of its On-Chain Earn product in Singapore, exclusively for Accredited Investors. The service offers a streamlined, compliant way to earn yield through staking major proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Aptos (APT), and Sui (SUI), directly on OKX's regulated platform.
The move targets Singapore's growing crypto market, where regulatory clarity and investor sophistication create fertile ground for innovative financial products. To qualify, investors must meet stringent MAS criteria: annual income of at least S$300,000, net personal assets exceeding S$2 million, or net financial assets over S$1 million. The onboarding process utilizes Singpass for digital verification and includes a mandatory risk assessment.
OKX underscores the service's security with institutional-grade infrastructure, holding ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and CSA STAR Level 1 certifications, and partnerships with traditional finance custody providers. The platform emphasizes transparency, calculating and distributing revenue daily with competitive APRs.
Concurrently, OKX strengthened its leadership by appointing Marcus Hughes as Vice President of Global Government Relations on August 20, 2025. Hughes, with over two decades of experience from Kraken and Coinbase, will navigate complex global regulations, including engagement with U.S. federal and state regulators. His appointment aligns with OKX's compliance-driven culture amid over 50 jurisdictions introducing new crypto regulations in 2024 alone.
This launch is part of OKX's broader strategy to cement its position in Singapore's vibrant digital asset hub, which hosts 81 exchanges and over 1,600 blockchain patents. The exchange has enhanced SGD payment rails, expanded its token roster to over 90 assets, and integrated Singpass for smoother user verification.
