OKX Alleges Binance Talent Poaching, Removes X Layer Spokesman
OKX abruptly dismissed X Layer spokesman Felix Fan, leading OKX President Hong Fang to indirectly accuse Binance of poaching talent.Summary
OKX suddenly removed Felix Fan, the spokesman for its L2 network X Layer, citing vague reasons of conflict of interest and ethical violations, which caused community distress. Following this, OKX President Hong Fang posted harsh criticism aimed at a "certain competitor," widely interpreted as Binance ("BN"), alleging they attempt to poach OKX talent with tempting offers and then discard them. This feud follows recent low-level disagreements between the two exchanges. Rumors suggest the incident might be linked to a meme coin bet Fan allegedly lost against OKX's CEO regarding XDOG, which he then acknowledged publicly. The lack of clear answers regarding Fan's termination has sparked discontent among OKX supporters, potentially damaging the firm's reputation.
