In a week which highlighted the speed with which the winds move in the centralized Espace Crypto Exchange (CEX), the main players like Okx, Bybit, Coinbase and Kraken have made power movements through the Introduction ambitions, the C-Suite Remantiers and the Colate 2 competition.
Okx Eyes Wall Street
Only a few months after returning to the American market following a payment of $ 505 million with the DoJ, OKX would have planned to make public in the United States. The exchange, now whose headquarters are at the regional level in San Jose, considers the IPO as a strategic stage to extend operations.
According to journalist Yueqi Yang, the Buzz IPO marks a broader change in regulatory feeling, suggesting that the American authorities could be more receptive to cryptographic companies under Donald Trump.
OKX, one of the first three exchanges of global crypto, will consider an IPO in the United States, after reviving the United States in April.
From IPOs to Trepto Treasury stocks, the crypto is booming at the moment, but the rally is taking place on the stock market, to assessments that have even surprised …

The restart of OKX was aggressive. He hired Roshan Robert, a seasoned framework by Morgan Stanley and Barclays, to direct his American expansion.
With nearly 500 employees in New York, San Francisco and San Jose, OKX clearly invests in establishing domination in the American financial ecosystem.
This thrust follows the success of Circle’s successful stock market. The beginnings of the Stablecoin transmitter on the NYSE saw its actions win almost 300%.

Kraken ink caused a sensation
Kraken layer 2 project, Ink, generates buzz before its next deployment of ink token. Built on Optimism’s Superchain, INK has seen daily transactions exceed 500,000, and the number of active contracts almost doubled in June.
The ink token supply is set at 1 billion and a community air card via Aave
Aave
$ 232.4
24h volatility:

The liquidity pools have been revealed. However, with less than 8 million dollars of total locked value, INK is still lagging behind competitors such as the Coinbase base.
The upcoming token will serve objectives of liquidity and incentive, and not of governance.
Coinbase solidifies Europe.
Coinbase, the first great American exchange to become public, expands its regulatory presence by obtaining a license in crypto-active markets (Mica) in Luxembourg, which makes it its official European center.
This license allows Coinbase to offer its full sequence of cryptography services in the 27 EU member states as part of a unified regulatory umbrella.
This decision consolidates the previous efforts of Coinbase in Germany, France and several other European nations. With Mica now fully in force, Coinbase is ahead of peers like Gemini, who is still waiting for his license approval to Malta.
