OKX CEO Star: Does not oppose Meme coins, trading platforms should remain neutral

BlockBeats news, on October 11, OKX CEO Star posted on social media, “Many people interpreted my previous article as me opposing Memecoin, which is actually a misunderstanding. As I have emphasized multiple times, I do not oppose Memecoin. Memecoin embodies the spirit of community and Consensus culture, making the crypto world more vibrant and creative. What I really want to express is: trading platforms should remain neutral. If competing platforms use individual 'get-rich' cases to hype up the so-called wealth effect, guiding a small number of 'early birds' to mass produce Memecoin, even personally getting involved, openly or secretly advocating, attracting more users who lack professional knowledge and are easily influenced by emotions to blindly follow the trend, this is a short-sighted behavior that kills the goose that lays the golden eggs. Such practices not only harm the long-term health of the entire industry but may also touch the boundaries of Compliance and law. The platform's responsibility is to build a fair and transparent market environment, not to become a catalyst for emotions. At the same time, I also hope that all opinion leaders do not try to use public opinion to 'persuade' or 'force' OKX and the X Layer team to get involved, advocating for projects such as 'XX life', '3', '4', and so on. This does not align with OKX's values, nor does it deviate from the Web3 spirit we believe in—openness, rationality, and long-term construction.”
