OKX launches in-wallet DEX trading, tapping Base, Solana and X Layer

Centralized exchange OKX is rolling out a new feature in its app that enables users worldwide, including those in the U.S., to access Decentralized Exchange (DEX) trading across the Base, Solana, and its incubated X Layer blockchains. This integration aims to provide unified access to millions of tokens, allowing users to seamlessly switch between centralized orderbooks and decentralized markets within a single portfolio view. After a one-step passkey setup, users gain access to live token data, self-custody security, and best-price routing across over 100 liquidity pools. OKX's self-custody wallet will automatically be created for DEX trading activation. This move follows similar integrations by competitors like Coinbase and Binance, as DEX trading volume recently hit an all-time high of $613.3 billion in October. OKX cautioned traders to use sound risk management, noting that buy-side depth can sometimes be limited in DEX markets.
