OKEx Recently Featured In A Fake Volume Saga
The news comes following a fake volume allegation made by Blockchain Transparency Institute (BTI) in which OKEx, alongside other exchanges, was highly implicated. At the time, OKEx was said to be among exchanges with over 99.7% of their volume made up by wash trading. OKEx’s Head of Operations Andy Cheung has denied the allegations and condemned the report on Twitter.
In a later report by BTI which revealed how fake volume report on OKEx had greatly improved within a matter of days, OKEx COO, Andy Cheung, maintained that his crypto exchange platform, Okex, was not involved in and does not tolerate any trading behaviors relating to wash trading from customers. He, therefore, demanded an apology from BTI to resolve the issue.
We are NOT involved in and do NOT tolerate any wash trading activities at @OKEx. The @BTI___ surveillance report is FALSE.

Recent Developments At OKEx
According to a recent report by Coingape, OKEx in its desire to make crypto exchanges self-regulated, revealed its plans of forming a “Self-Regulated Organization” (SRO). According to plans, the organization will be responsible for standardizing exchange practices and policies. The Chief Operation Officer of OKEx said,
“Cryptocurrencies are global and decentralized, and the industry remains nascent, thus regulations by jurisdiction are not enough,” said Andy Cheung, Head of Operations for OKEx. “The only way for exchanges to grow and deliver impact is by joining together to develop practices and policies that will set a global standard and adapt to regional regulatory frameworks.”
