OKX founder Star Xu said in an interview with Merov Crypto that he misjudged Ethereum in its early days. Recalling an exchange from 2017, Xu said Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin had approached him about listing ETH, but he responded at the time by calling it a "junk coin." Xu said that view turned out to be a mistake.
He attributed the misjudgment to becoming overly conservative after successfully listing Litecoin. In the same interview, Xu also discussed the development of OKX’s unified trading account and multichain wallet. He said product building should start from user needs, with a focus on improving capital efficiency and user experience, while staying close to customers to keep refining the platform’s products. The remarks were cited by Techub, which referenced @WuBlockchain.
