OKX Star: Company Culture is Shaped by Long-Term Results, Not Encouraging Employees to Aim for Quick Riches through Crypto Trading

Odaily Planet Daily News: OKX founder and CEO Star posted on platform X, stating: "OKX's corporate culture has always included customer first, innovation, pragmatism, openness and transparency, and providing opportunities and resources. A company's culture is not defined by slogans but is jointly shaped by its talent, products, values, and long-term results.

To this day, OKX has many veteran colleagues who have been with the company for 5 years or even close to 10 years, continuously learning and progressing. We also have many new colleagues from other industries or competitors, bringing fresh perspectives and progressive ideas.

Many colleagues with experience at competitor companies have reported that OKX's overall compensation and long-term incentives are higher than those at many rivals. Recently, a colleague from our business team, who joined four years ago and had consistently entrusted their long-term incentive to the company without cashing out, received several million dollars in returns upon recent redemption. We are proud of cases like this.

However, OKX does not encourage employees to regard crypto trading or getting rich quickly as their career vision. Instead, we advocate for a model that combines generous short-term cash incentives with long-term incentives. Some individuals, full of the desire for quick riches, cannot accept OKX's internal policies, such as prohibiting the issuance of tokens, insider trading, and accepting bribes. Meanwhile, competitors have offered these individuals attractive conditions, leading them to choose to leave. We also wish these colleagues well.

We have also seen many cases where individuals, attracted by short-term gains, join competitors only to be discarded soon after losing their utility. Every company has its own characteristics. We welcome all legal means of competition and will strictly crack down on any actions that violate laws or professional ethics.

In any case, we are always proud when our former colleagues at OKX can continue to showcase their talents at other companies. At the same time, we will persistently create industry-leading compensation, an open and transparent culture, generous incentive mechanisms, and a long-term career platform for our current colleagues."
