Today, #OKB directly staged a "rocket launch". Within 25 minutes, the price doubled to $99.27, and after a brief pullback, it soared to 134, with a one-hour surge of up to 186%. Behind this, it's not just market sentiment in turmoil, but a strategic capital move.
X Layer Comprehensive Upgrade
OKX officially announced a major upgrade to X Layer, aiming to build it into a top public chain focused on DeFi, global payments, and RWA:
- Built on Polygon CDK, with throughput directly increased to 5000 TPS
- Gas costs are almost zero
- Security highly compatible with Ethereum mainnet
Even more impressive is that OKX Wallet, OKX Exchange, and OKX Pay have fully integrated X Layer, supporting zero gas withdrawals and efficient on-chain payments. Combined with ecosystem funds, liquidity incentives, and infrastructure improvements, this is paving the way for large-scale application deployment.
OKB Economic Model Thoroughly Optimized
OKB continues to be the sole Gas and native token of X Layer, now entering an "extreme scarcity" mode:
- One-time burn of 65.25 million historical buyback and reserved OKB
- Upgrade smart contract, cancel additional issuance and manual burns
- Total supply permanently locked at 21 million
Users holding Ethereum L1 version OKB need to deposit to OKX and complete chain swap through "withdraw to X Layer". OKTChain will be phased out and exchanged for OKB at average closing price.

Scarcity Benchmarked Against BNB, Imagination Space Fully Expanded
Comparing two leading exchange tokens:
- OKB Circulation: 21 million
- BNB Circulation: About 139-150 million, 6.6-7.1 times OKB
- OKB Market Cap (at $100): About $2.1 billion
- BNB Market Cap (at $835): $116-125 billion
#BNB market cap is 55-60 times OKB's. If OKB even catches up to half of BNB's market cap, the potential is at least 30 times. Not to mention OKB's fixed total supply, periodic burns, and X Layer's gas demand, long-term scarcity will become increasingly stronger.
Conclusion
This market trend is not just short-term player sentiment, but a triple resonance of capital, technology, and narrative: X Layer upgrade brings application imagination, OKB scarcity provides price support, and benchmarking against BNB offers sufficient valuation space. Short-term volatility may be intense, but from a long-term perspective, this could be the starting point of OKB's value reassessment.
Market waves come one after another, going solo is easy to get lost.
