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.

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.

  • Powell signals support for further rate cuts as U.S. job market cools

    Federal Reserve Chairman Powell warned on Tuesday that the U.S. labor market is showing further signs of distress, suggesting he may be prepared to support another rate cut later this month. Powell pointed out, "The downside risks to employment have increased." This is the strongest hint so far that Fed officials believe they have enough evidence to support another 25 basis point cut in U.S. borrowing costs. Powell added that even without new data from the Labor Department (delayed due to the government shutdown), private sector employment indicators and internal Fed research provide enough reason to suggest that the labor market is cooling off. "The available evidence" suggests that "layoffs and hiring are still low," while "household perceptions of job opportunities and businesses' perceptions of hiring difficulties continue to decline." These comments indicate that Powell is becoming more dovish on monetary policy.
