This will permanently cap the total supply of OKB at 21 million. As part of the update, OKTChain will be phased out. During this period, OKT tokens will be exchanged for OKB based on the average closing price between July 13 and August 12, 2025. OKX stated that this transition will simplify the ecosystem and strengthen the long-term supply stability of OKB. Following the announcement, the price of OKB briefly reached an all-time high of $134, but later fell to $129.

OKX's move aims to increase user confidence and make Layer X a more attractive blockchain infrastructure for institutional and individual investors. The supply reduction and network simplification are expected to positively impact OKB's price performance in the long term. *This is not investment advice.
