OKX to embed Katana’s native decentralized finance ( DeFi) yield infrastructure, allowing users to access onchain returns without manual bridging.

On March 3, 2026, global crypto platform OKX announced an integration with Katana, a DeFi-focused blockchain incubated by Polygon Labs and GSR. This partnership embeds Katana’s onchain infrastructure directly into the exchange, enabling users to earn yields from stablecoin treasury revenue and chain-owned liquidity without leaving the app.

The initiative includes a promotional campaign featuring 65 million KAT tokens in prizes for users who deposit Tether ( USDT) into the On-chain Earn dashboard by March 17, 2026. This system routes capital into productive activity overseen by risk firms like Gauntlet, removing the operational friction typically associated with self-custody wallets.

“Exchanges are becoming the distribution layer for onchain yield, and that changes everything about how DeFi scales,” said Matthew Fisher, Head of Katana.
