OKX Halts DEX Aggregator Amid Bybit Hack Fallout

Last week, OKX refuted allegations of scrutiny by European regulators regarding potential fund transfers via its DEX aggregation service. The company acknowledged taking preemptive measures to intercept assets linked to the $1.4 billion Bybit security compromise that transpired in late February. On Sunday, OKX released a blog post announcing the temporary suspension of its DEX aggregator functionalities.

“This move allows us to implement additional upgrades to prevent further misuse,” OKX said. “We know that transparency is key, so we’re also working closely with blockchain explorers to correct incomplete labeling. Our goal is to ensure that explorers properly highlight the actual DEX processing trades rather than mistakenly identifying our aggregator as the point of trade.”

OKX disclosed that its team deployed a “detection system” for OKX Web3, a feature introduced just days prior. Furthermore, the firm operates a real-time tracking infrastructure to monitor illicit wallet addresses, empowering its centralized exchange (CEX) to obstruct unauthorized transactions. OKX further emphasized to users that OKX Web3 operates as an inherently non-custodial platform.

The crypto firm stated:

One thing we want to make absolutely clear: OKX Web3 is a DEX aggregator, not a custodian of customer assets.
