SYDNEY, Nov. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OKX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and global onchain company, today announced it will serve as Gold Sponsor of Australia Crypto Convention 2024 and host the Australia edition of its Ordinals World Tour. These events, scheduled for 23-24 November, underscore OKX's continued commitment to strengthening Australia's digital asset ecosystem.
Since launching its crypto exchange services in Australia in May 2024, OKX has emerged as a key player in the local market, tripling its customer base. OKX has also established itself as a leading exchange in Australia for AUD-crypto trading pairs, while expanding its local team by more than 150% within a span of six months.
Against the backdrop of Bitcoin recently reaching its all-time high, Australia Crypto Convention 2024 will welcome over 10,000 attendees at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Sydney, where OKX will showcase its extensive suite of crypto trading and onchain products.
The Australia edition of OKX's Ordinals World Tour, co-hosted in partnership with Ordzaar, takes place on 23 November in Sydney, bringing together pioneers, builders, artists, creators and members of the Australian Ordinals community. This event follows the recent launch of 'Creators Collective,' an invite-only community of forward-thinkers in the onchain economy - with an initial focus on Bitcoin innovations like Ordinals.
The success of OKX's Australian operations was recently recognised at the WeMoney Cryptocurrency Awards in July 2024, where the company secured five prestigious awards, including "Cryptocurrency Exchange of the Year" and "Best for Professional Investors - Cryptocurrency." In August, OKX further enhanced its local offering with the introduction of dedicated AUD trading order books.
OKX Australia General Manager Jamie Kennedy said: "We plan to increase our investment in Australia throughout 2025 as we develop new products and features which provide a secure and user-friendly trading experience for local customers. The Australian crypto community is in need of an exchange that is accessible, seeks feedback from customers and actively embraces the technological trends that drive the industry forward. We look forward to meeting attendees this weekend and introducing more features tailored specifically for Australian customers very soon."
Australia Crypto Convention attendees can meet the OKX team at booth 67 to learn more about OKX's latest products and onchain innovations, including its self-custody wallet and Ordinals Marketplace.
