Alternatives

OKX Alternatives — Evidence Comparison

Alternative venues are shown for evidence comparison and are not recommendations. They are included because published evidence attributes differ from OKX — not because OKX is “bad”, and not because of commercial relationships.

Why these venues are included

Each candidate differs from OKX on at least one published evidence attribute (regulation, legal-entity mapping, PoR, custody, geographic records, products, or completeness). Inclusion is deterministic from the public snapshot.

What remains unresolved

Open questions and missing domains stay unknown. An empty cell is not a safety finding.

OKX: Status page located; no dated material incident structured this phase
Bybit: SATOS partnership terms are regional/partner-scoped; not applied as global Bybit custody. Added PoR wallet-disclosure claim only.
Bybit: No confirmed primary incident record packaged this phase
Deribit: Official Fees article exists but Cloudflare bot wall blocked primary fetch; rates not SAFE-applied from secondary index alone
Deribit: No confirmed primary incident packaged
Kraken: Status page located; no dated material incident structured this phase
Binance: ADGM Nest trio roles mapped from official ADGM Terms; Binance FZE mapped from FZE Terms + VARA VL/24/04/001. Do not treat any single entity licence as brand-wide global authorisation. Nest Trading Limited role kept as unknown enum (broker-dealer/off-exchange per terms) pending richer role taxonomy.
Bitget: FSA Seychelles lists BTG Technology Holdings Limited on the VASP Assessment list (2026-03-09). Not a granted licence. Operator marketing licences (AUSTRAC etc.) were not confirmed on primary registers in this pass; VARA public register has no Bitget VASP licence row (2026-09-13).

Limitations

This is not a “best alternative” ranking. Evidence differences can change as records are re-verified. Regional records do not imply global approval.
