Odaily Planet Daily reported that Lucy Rigby, Economic Secretary to the Treasury and Minister for the City of London, recently shared her experience meeting OKX CEO Star Xu in London on the X platform and expressed her willingness to collaborate in promoting the UK as a leading destination for crypto assets. She said, "I was delighted to meet with Star Xu, CEO of OKX, a leading global crypto asset trading platform, in London. I look forward to continuing to work with OKX and other innovative companies to jointly promote the UK as a leading destination for global crypto asset development."

OKX officials subsequently responded, stating, "We are proud to contribute to building a transparent, innovative, and well-regulated cryptoasset ecosystem in the UK." Industry insiders speculate that this interaction reflects the UK government's proactive policy stance toward crypto assets, perhaps intended to attract innovative companies to establish themselves there. The fact that this incident occurred during Star Xu's visit to London may also be related to OKX's global expansion and regulatory compliance efforts.
