OKX2026-10-06 03:30:58OKX CEO Star lays out a next-generation finance vision built on crypto, the internet and AIAt the OKX NOW global product and ecosystem conference in Singapore on Oct. 6, OKX founder and CEO Star said the company is evolving beyond its origins as a crypto exchange into a broader global fintech platform. In his opening speech, he argued that the convergence of the internet, crypto infrastructure and AI is reshaping financial services for a new generation of users. Star framed OKX’s long-term direction around four functions: holding money, making payments, investing across asset classes and managing wealth more intelligently. He said users should be able to choose between regulated exchange accounts and self-custody wallets, while payments should work as simply as sending a message. He also described a future in which crypto assets, stocks, commodities and other markets are accessed through a unified digital experience. He spent considerable time on trust and compliance, saying OKX has built regulated infrastructure across markets including the U.S., Europe, the UAE, Singapore, Australia, Brazil and Turkey. Star also said Deloitte has become OKX’s global auditor and described proof of reserves as a transparency mechanism that has become an industry standard. On AI, he said roughly 95% of engineering pull requests at OKX now have their primary development work completed through AI workflows, and disclosed that the company’s bill to large-model providers reached $10 million last month.200

Gate2026-09-20 00:20:33Gate security team warns users about risks tied to the FomoPeek appGate’s security team said the FomoPeek app contains malicious code with elevated security risks and may exploit iOS-related vulnerabilities to target other apps. According to the team’s analysis, the app is capable of accessing the clipboard, scanning sensitive data stored on a phone, and obtaining login credentials. Gate added that it has not found any losses suffered by Gate App users as a result of attacks linked to FomoPeek, and said its existing risk-control mechanisms are operating normally. The exchange urged users to update iOS to the latest version as soon as possible and check whether FomoPeek is installed on their devices. If the app is present, users are advised to uninstall it immediately and restart their phones. After that, Gate recommends logging back into the Gate App and other important applications. Users of Web3 wallets are also advised to review wallet security promptly and, if necessary, move related assets to reduce potential security exposure.610

Users can execute trades directly without setting up an external wallet or opening a separate on-chain application. The first batch of supported products includes SPYon, NVDAon and MUon, tokenized instruments tracking technology, semiconductor and digital finance sectors.
