OKB, the native token of OKX exchange, witnessed a sudden and substantial plunge from $52 to $25 on January 23, prompting an investigation by OKX CEO, Star Xu.
OKB, the native token of the OKX exchange, experienced a sudden and sharp plunge on the afternoon of January 23, UTC+8. The token's value plummeted from $52 to a low of $25 before gradually stabilizing. The rapid drop has raised concerns within the cryptocurrency community.
The sudden decline prompted OKX CEO Star Xu to address the matter. While specific details were not disclosed, Xu assured the community that the OKX team is actively investigating the recent volatility in OKB prices. The CEO committed to providing a report on the matter at a later time.
Meanwhile, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju noted that, as of now, there have been "no notable outflows" from OKX's major asset reserves.
Spot On Chain, a blockchain analytics platform, brought attention to a potential correlation between the price decline and the deposit of 176,154 OKB (equivalent to over $8 million) to OKX from 10 previously dormant crypto addresses.
These deposits occurred approximately a week before the sudden plunge, leading Spot On Chain to label the move as "suspicious." The platform highlighted that these wallets may belong to a single entity, but the connection to the subsequent price drop is unclear.
Amid the investigation, HashKey Group, a leading digital asset financial services group in Asia, and OKX have announced plans to collaborate in promoting compliant virtual asset innovation and industry development in Hong Kong.
