OKX and Benqi Partner To Boost Access to Web3 Ecosystem

OKX, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange platform, has joined forces with Avalanche liquid staking solution Benqi in a collaboration that sees its native decentralized application discovery tool, OKX Discover, supporting Benqi, and Benqi integrating the OKX Wallet web extension on its website and product. The integration of the OKX Wallet, a leading self-custodial solution for digital assets, through its web extension on Benqi's website and product will enable users to flawlessly enter the Web3 ecosystem via OKX Wallet.

With the partnership, Benqi users can also access the OKX Wallet without leaving the Benqi website, providing a more convenient experience. Users can use the OKX Wallet to gain access to tokens, NFTs, and dApps in more than 40 chains and roll-ups. As a self-custodial wallet product, OKX Wallet users are in charge of their own private keys and crypto assets.

Both firms seek to promote the non-custodial, trustless nature of Avalanche and DeFi. For crypto swap products, OKX Wallet has integrated with OKX DEX, a swap aggregator, to connect with all liquidity from more than 13 chains and provide free trading for users. In order to fulfill the market demands for token transfer across different chains, OKX DEX optimizes users' output by finding the best liquidity providers and the route that minimizes slippage and network fees.

  • Analysis: The unusual dollar trend may be another reason why Powell is cautious about rate cuts

    according to foreign media analysis, under the influence of tariff policies, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell insists on waiting for more evidence before cutting interest rates to show that inflation is not soaring. In addition, another reason Powell needs to be cautious is the extremely unusual trend of the US dollar. Before the announcement of the tariff policy, the market generally expected tariffs to strengthen the US dollar. However, the actual situation is that the US dollar is depreciating. Since "Liberation Day" on April 2, the US dollar index has fallen by 6.8%, and has fallen by about 10.4% year-to-date in 2025, the worst performance in at least 25 years from the beginning of the year. The persistent weakness of the US dollar is more likely to have a significant impact on the economy (including consumer prices).
